Ants are very common this time of year. Do you know what kind they are — small black ones, or the larger carpenter ants?

这个季节蚂蚁很常见。知道是哪种吗——小黑蚂蚁还是大的木蚁？

Those are sugar ants. They follow scent trails to food sources. I'll treat the entry points with bait and a barrier spray around the perimeter of your home. The treatment is $120.

那是糖蚁。它们沿气味路线找食物源。我会在入口放诱饵，房屋周围喷阻隔喷雾。治理费120美元。

Yes, once it dries — about 30 minutes — it's completely safe for pets and kids. I'd just ask that you keep the cat out of the treated areas until it dries.

是的，干了之后——大约30分钟——对宠物和小孩完全安全。只需要在干之前不让猫进处理过的区域。

You'll see a big reduction within 24 to 48 hours. The bait takes them back to the colony, which eliminates the whole nest within a week. I'll come back in two weeks for a follow-up at no extra charge.

24到48小时内会明显减少。诱饵会让它们带回巢穴，一周内消灭整个蚁巢。两周后我免费回访。

We offer a quarterly pest prevention plan. We come every three months and treat the interior and exterior of your home. It covers ants, spiders, roaches, silverfish, and general crawling insects.

我们有季度害虫预防计划。每三个月来一次，处理室内和室外。覆盖蚂蚁、蜘蛛、蟑螂、蠹虫和一般爬虫。

Rodent control is a separate service. We set traps, seal entry points, and do exclusion work. That's $200 for the initial visit, then $75 per follow-up. Or you can add it to the quarterly plan for an extra $50 per visit.

鼠害控制是单独的服务。我们设陷阱、封堵入口、做排除工作。首次上门200美元，之后每次75美元。或者加到季度计划里每次多50美元。

$100 per visit, so $400 a year. And if you see any pests between visits, we come back for free — that's our guarantee.

每次100美元，一年400美元。如果两次服务之间出现害虫，我们免费上门——这是我们的保证。

Smart choice. So that's $150 per quarter, $600 per year. I'll schedule your first comprehensive visit for next week. We'll do a full inspection of your home inside and out.

明智的选择。那就是每季度150美元，每年600美元。我给你安排下周第一次全面上门。我们会对你的房子里外做全面检查。
