Fall is rodent season

Scratching in the walls at night?

As nights cool, mice and rats move indoors looking for warmth and food. Seal food away, don't sweep up droppings dry, and call. We'll connect you with a local rodent control company.

Seasonal

Pests through the year

Fall (now)

Mice and rats move indoors, stink bugs and lady beetles squeeze into walls, and wasps are at their most defensive.

Winter

Rodents, roaches and bed bugs stay busy indoors. Warm spells wake overwintering pests.

Spring

Termite swarm season, ants marching back in and the first wasp nests.

Summer

Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, wasps and scorpions peak. Roaches thrive in heat and humidity.

FAQ

Common questions

What is EmergencyExterminators?

A pest control referral service. When you call, we connect you with an independent pest control company that serves your area. We don't do the pest control work ourselves.

Is there a charge to call?

No. EmergencyExterminators doesn't charge homeowners. You agree any work and terms directly with the pest control company.

What pests are covered?

Mice and rats, bed bugs, cockroaches, termites, ants, wasps, hornets and yellowjackets, mosquitoes, spiders, fleas, ticks, scorpions, stink bugs and other household insects.

Do you handle raccoons, squirrels or other wildlife?

No. This line is for insects, spiders, scorpions, mice and rats. Larger animals such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, snakes and birds need a wildlife removal service, which we don't connect.

Can someone come today?

Often, yes. It depends on your area and the company's schedule, so call early in the day if you can.

Are the photos your jobs?

No. They're real photographs from Pexels. Ask the company you speak with about their own work.
