Treatments & Services
Below are common service types. Providers follow label directions, wear appropriate PPE, and prioritize least-risk methods first.
-
General Extermination (ants, roaches, spiders)
Inspection, targeted crack-and-crevice applications, baits, exterior perimeter treatment, and exclusion tips. Great for ongoing pest control services and seasonal upkeep.
What to expect from your local pro:
Assessment → custom plan → interior/exterior treatment → follow-up monitoring.
-
Termite Inspection & Treatment
Liquid barriers, bait systems, and wood treatments for subterranean and, where applicable, drywood species. Real-estate reports (NPMA-33) available in many markets. Ideal for comprehensive termite & pest control.
What to expect from your local pro:
Visual inspection (and moisture/probing where permitted) → treatment recommendation → warranty options.
-
Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Whole-room heat plus targeted insecticides as needed. Prep includes laundering, decluttering, and access to baseboards. Pair with a trusted bed bug exterminator for best results.
What to expect from your local pro:
Prep checklist → treatment day (4–8 hrs typical) → follow-up inspection.
-
Rodent Control & Exclusion
Trap/monitor, seal gaps, reinforce with screens and door sweeps, and clean/refresh in attic/crawl where offered.
What to expect from your local pro:
Inspection for entry points → trapping → sealing → sanitation guidance.
-
Wasps/Hornets & Bee Removal
Nest removal with stinging-insect safety protocols; bee work handled per local rules and best practices for relocation when possible.
What to expect from your local pro:
Site safety check → treatment/removal → activity check on return visit if needed.
-
Mosquito & Tick Reduction
Yard inspections, habitat minimization, and recurring yard applications during the season.
What to expect from your local pro:
Property survey → targeted vegetation/perimeter treatments → monthly/bi-weekly visits in peak months.
-
Wildlife Removal (state-specific)
Humane trapping/relocation where legal; sealing and remediation for droppings/insulation are add-ons in many markets.
What to expect from your local pro:
Inspection → trap/setups → removal → exclusion plan.
-
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Sanitation, exclusion, and monitoring first; then targeted, least-risk products. Ideal if you’re avoiding broad chemistries and still need results from professional extermination services.
Service Process & Safety
-
Compliance
Technicians are trained and licensed. Restricted-use pesticides are applied only by certified applicators under EPA and state rules. Labels govern application rates, re-entry times, and protective gear. Customer and technician safety, and label compliance, come first.
-
Visit options
One-time, quarterly/tri-annual, and monthly plans. Maintenance visits typically include exterior barrier, spot interior work (as needed), and monitoring; specialized pests (termites, bed bugs, wildlife) are separate services.
-
Guarantees/Warranties
Many providers offer “free re-service” style policies during a warranty window if covered pests return; exact terms vary by provider and location.
What’s in a General-Pest Plan
Typically includes
Ants, cockroaches (non-German heavy infestations may require add-ons), spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, pantry pests, mice/rats, and wasp nests attached to structures.
Often excluded/specialty
Termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes/ticks, wildlife, German cockroach heavy infestations, fleas, and carpenter ants, these usually require targeted plans and pricing. For roach-specific work, ask for a cockroach exterminator.

FAQs
How quickly can I get service?
Most areas offer same-day or next-day windows. The moment you submit the form or call, we match you with a local pro and confirm appointment options. Busy seasons (spring/summer) fill faster.
Are treatments safe for kids and pets?
Providers use EPA-registered products and follow label directions and state rules. Your technician will advise re-entry times and any prep like covering aquariums, securing pet bowls, or ventilating treated rooms.
What’s the difference between “extermination” and IPM?
“Extermination” often means fast knock-down using targeted products. IPM (Integrated Pest Management) blends inspection, sanitation, exclusion, monitoring, and precise applications, solving causes, not just symptoms.
What’s included in “general-pest”?
Usually ants, non-severe cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, pantry moths/beetles, mice/rats, and wasps near structures. Termites, bed bugs, fleas, severe German roach infestations, mosquitoes, wildlife, and wood-destroying beetles are specialty items.
Termite inspection vs. WDI/WDO report (NPMA-33)?
A termite/WDI inspection can identify current activity and conditions conducive to infestation. Real-estate transactions often require an NPMA-33 form documenting findings for lenders.
Does heat kill bed bug eggs?
Yes, properly executed heat treatments reach lethal temperatures for all life stages, including eggs. Many providers supplement with targeted insecticides and follow-up inspections for confirmation, especially in cluttered spaces. For complex jobs, some clients hire bed bug exterminators for multi-unit coordination.
