What types of pest infestations do you treat?

Signs indicate that you need to hire a pest control pro. But what kind of pest infestation are you dealing with? According to experts, pests are sorted into four main categories: insects, rodents, birds, and other wildlife.

Insects and rodents are more common indoor problems, while birds and other wildlife threaten homes with gardens and outdoor spaces. Most pest control agencies treat rodent and insect issues, but some have a niche they specialize in, such as mice or termites.

If you want to hire a pest control pro, it should be easy to find one to treat ants, bedbugs, mosquitoes, spiders, head lice, mice, or rats, since these are some of the most common pest infestations.

This being said, before you hire a pest control pro, ask them which pests they have the most experience and success with. Make sure they provide outdoor, indoor, or versatile pest control solutions that fit your needs. Many pest agencies offer free quotes and inspections, so don’t be afraid to reach out to another specialist once you pinpoint the type of infestation.
