Pest control companies identify, treat and help prevent insects, rodents and other pests in and around your home. A good treatment plan starts with an inspection to find where pests are coming from and what is attracting them.
Common pest control services include:
Call a pest control service when you see droppings, nests, damage or live pests, or want regular preventive treatments. Termite and wood-destroying insect inspections are often requested during home sales.

A pest control company inspects your home to identify pests and how they are getting in, applies treatments such as baits, traps or targeted products, and recommends steps like sealing entry points. Many offer recurring service plans for ongoing prevention.
Call a pro when an infestation keeps returning, you suspect termites or bed bugs, rodents are inside walls or the attic, or stinging insects are near doors. Professionals can identify the pest correctly, which matters because treatments differ.
Ask what pest they believe you have, how they will treat it, which products they use and how they protect children and pets. Pest control applicators are generally licensed by the state, so ask about it, and get service terms, follow-up visits and any retreatment policy in writing.
Cost depends on the type of pest, the size of the home, how widespread the problem is, the treatment method and whether you choose a one-time visit or a recurring plan. Termite and bed bug treatments are usually priced separately from general service.
Follow the company's prep instructions, which may include clearing cabinets, moving furniture from walls, covering food, and keeping pets and children away until treatments dry. Tell the technician where you have seen activity and about anyone with allergies.
