Pest Control Services — Protect Your Home From Unwanted Guests

Termites cause over $5 billion in property damage in the US annually, according to the National Pest Management Association. A single colony can eat a pound of wood per day. By the time you see visible signs, damage may already be significant. DIY treatments cannot reach underground colonies or termites embedded in structural wood. A professional inspection ($75–$200) can identify the species, extent of damage, and appropriate treatment — liquid barrier, bait stations, or fumigation — before the problem gets worse.

Bed bugs reproduce rapidly and are highly resistant to over-the-counter sprays. A single pregnant female can restart an entire infestation. Professional heat treatment (120°F+ throughout the space) or targeted chemical application is the only reliable way to eliminate all life stages — eggs, nymphs, and adults. DIY fogger bombs do not penetrate into crevices where bed bugs hide and often scatter them to new rooms, making the problem worse.

Mice and rats carry diseases (salmonella, hantavirus, leptospirosis), chew through electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), and reproduce extremely fast — a pair of mice can produce 60+ offspring in a year. Professional exterminators combine trapping with exclusion (sealing all entry points) for a permanent solution. Without sealing entry points, new rodents simply replace trapped ones within days.

Cockroaches are among the most resilient pests — they can survive weeks without food and develop resistance to consumer pesticides. A few visible roaches typically means hundreds more hiding in walls, appliances, and drains. Professionals use commercial-grade gel baits, insect growth regulators, and residual treatments that consumer products cannot match. German cockroaches in particular require multi-visit treatment plans to break the breeding cycle.

Yellowjackets and wasps can sting repeatedly and become highly aggressive when their nest is disturbed. People with bee sting allergies face life-threatening anaphylaxis risk. Professional removal includes protective equipment, specialized treatment to eliminate the colony (not just visible wasps), and nest removal. Never attempt to knock down or spray a large wasp nest yourself — disturbed colonies can swarm aggressively within seconds.
