Household pest control
Pest control for common household pests
Find service for common household pests, with a focus on identification, where they are active, and the conditions that bring them indoors.
A targeted approach starts with the pest.
Service methods depend on the pest, the location of activity, and the home. Exact pest coverage varies by participating provider.
Mice
Activity near stored food, cabinets, or utility openings can point to access and nesting areas. Service may include targeted control and entry-point recommendations.
Termites
Mud tubes, discarded wings, or changes in exposed wood can warrant a termite assessment. Available treatment depends on identification and the property.
Other common household pests
Ask about spiders, house crickets, earwigs, silverfish, clothes moths, centipedes, and millipedes. The provider determines which of these pests it services.
Ant activity
Follow the conditions, not just the trail.
Ants may follow a food source or enter where moisture is available. Identification helps a provider choose a targeted approach, while changes to storage and access reduce what attracts them.
- Crumbs and open food containers
- Moist areas near sinks and household fixtures
- Gaps at doorways and utility openings
