Find top rated bed bug exterminators in your area

Yes, paying for an exterminator is often well worth the cost, especially if dealing with a severe infestation. DIY remedies might work for minor invasions, but professional intervention offers the extra peace of mind that the issue is fully addressed.

Most exterminators give free estimates, but some may make the estimate free upon signing a regular or recurring service contract.

You’ll typically need an exterminator to come on a monthly basis after having a large infestation removed or if you live with persistent bugs. The most common insects that need ongoing treatments include roaches, spiders, termites, ticks, fleas, and ants. Hire a local roach exterminator, spider exterminator, flea exterminator, or ant exterminator to take care of the issue for good. 

Most chemical pesticides are poisonous to pets, so it's essential to keep them out of reach or find alternatives. Be sure to let your pest control pro know about your pets, as some of the chemicals and products they use can be harmful or even fatal. There's also a risk of your pet ingesting poison when eating dead or dying rodents.

Proactive pest control is all about removing potential food, habitats, and entry points. Store food in sealed containers and clean up messes right away. It also pays to declutter regularly and maintain a clean home. Lastly, inspect the perimeter of your home regularly for cracks and holes.
