Luna Scope and Scheduling Notes
Luna is handled as a New Mexico local-service market where the homeowner should verify city limits, county rules, and provider service area before relying on a quote. When place-area or population data is unavailable, the safer comparison is to verify whether the provider prices Luna as an in-area job or as an extended service-area visit.
For pest control, that means the pest control quote should explain the target pests, treatment zones, follow-up policy, product category, and conditions the homeowner must correct.
| Estimate item | Why it matters | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Pest category | General insects, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and wildlife are usually scoped and priced separately. | Which pests are covered by this visit and which need a separate quote? |
| Interior access | Pets, children, allergies, and tenant access can change preparation and timing. | What prep steps, product category, and re-entry window apply? |
| Exterior conditions | Moisture, mulch, vegetation, gaps, and entry points affect whether treatment holds. | Which exterior conditions should the homeowner correct before or after service? |
| Follow-up policy | A cheap first visit can be poor value if retreatment or monitoring is excluded. | How many visits are included, and what triggers a no-charge callback? |
