        most of the information you are seeking is considered proprietary to those companies.

        everybody in a pest control business basically has the same chemicals availiable through Federal licensing, and each has a use label that has to be followed by law to limit liability for damages.

        once you have the labels, and this information is availiable online from the EPA, FDA, M-O-U-S-E websites, and from the chemical distributors, you have several to choose from for a particular bug and environment. you have the entomology reports from land-grant universities to help narrow down their correct use.

        of the three, perhaps, that can be used for termites, say, one will be least disruptive to kids, pets, and environment than the others in a given situation.

        when you've got that all together, you have the power.

        get started.

        I used to work for Terminix and they would do a quarterly service for about $80-90.00 a quarter. Their service contract was non binding as far as I know (altough they would want you to think otherwise). They have a large termite department which a treatment could range between 800-4,000 dollars and then a $250 renewall program. For bed bugs they would treat one room $400 up to $3000 for a house. They would service most bugs and rats and mice. they wouldn't service gophers, racoons, snakes, moles, or other odd creatures.
        Hope that helps

        The pest control companies are generally focus on all the household insects removal. Specially bed bugs, Squirrel removal long island, raccoons removal. The product are effective for home, garden and farms.

        I would think a very, very broad spray would be best - get them all with one fell swoop.
