Local property context
Older central homes meet modern subdivisions
Pier-and-beam access, mature canopy, remodel gaps, attached decks, slab penetrations, drainage, and irrigation can produce very different routes into two homes only a few miles apart.
Point out the affected rooms and any areas the technician cannot access.

How does an older Austin home change the inspection?
Start with the age and layout of the building and the exact room where activity appears. A pier-and-beam home, a remodeled kitchen, and a newer slab present different access questions. Mention additions, shared walls, plumbing work, and a shaded yard before the walkthrough. For mosquito concerns, point out containers and drainage close to the spaces you use; a waterway nearby does not identify the source at the home. Keep photographs and previous treatment records available. If a crawl space or adjoining unit cannot be entered, the technician needs to document that limit and explain which findings can still be assessed.
What should I do about pets, gates, and access?
Tell the office about pets, locked gates, shared spaces, and any access restrictions before the visit. Arrange access to the agreed inspection areas and secure pets as instructed. Wait for the preparation and re-entry directions that apply to your service; the team confirms whether someone needs to be home.
How soon can someone come out, and can weather change the visit?
Call or text for the current appointment window at your address. Mark urgent concerns in the estimate request for office review. Availability is confirmed by the team; Bugged does not promise same-day or 24/7 service. Weather can change the timing, location, or method of exterior work. The technician follows the product label and actual site conditions. If rain, wind, heat, or access would compromise the planned service, the team explains the adjustment rather than pretending conditions do not matter.
How do pricing, monthly billing, and the first payment work?
HiveGuard starts at $66 a month for a qualifying single-family home. Applicable tax is additional. Total lot size determines the recurring rate; existing pest issues may affect your quote. Cinctra yard treatment is included. The quote confirms the initial-service fee and any one-time work. The estimate is free, with no charge during signup. Monthly billing spreads the recurring plan payments across a twelve-month agreement with four scheduled visits: initial service, then approximately months 3, 6 and 9. Visits and payments follow different schedules; applicable tax is additional. Authorize payment at signup without a charge. The quoted initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial-service completion. Uninterrupted renewal has no additional initial fee; cancellation followed by re-enrollment starts a new enrollment with its quoted initial fee.
What happens if pests return, or I need to cancel?
Some activity can continue while treatment and follow-up take effect. Note where and when you see pests and contact the team so we can review the visit record and next step. For covered pests, Call us and we’ll come back at no extra charge. Call or text the office to arrange cancellation under your signed agreement. Effective cancellation followed by re-enrollment starts a new property enrollment with the quoted initial-service fee. Payment retries or a rescinded future cancellation do not restart the enrollment.
