When You Need Emergency Pest Control

Not every pest problem is an emergency. These are the situations that require same-day response rather than a scheduled appointment.

URGENT

Active Wasp Nests

European wasp or paper wasp nests near people, children's play areas, or building entries. Active nests pose an immediate sting risk. Do not attempt removal. Keep people away and call immediately.

Same-day treatment available
URGENT

Commercial Food Pest Outbreak

Cockroaches or rodents sighted during service in a restaurant, food facility, or commercial kitchen. A pest sighting during trading hours is a health and compliance emergency requiring same-day response.

Priority commercial dispatch

While You Wait

What to Do Until We Arrive

The wrong response to a pest emergency can make the situation harder to treat or put people at risk. Here is what to do and what to avoid while you wait for the technician.

Do This
Keep people and pets away from the affected area
Note the location of the nest, infestation, or pest
Take a photo if it is safe to do so from a distance
For wasp nests, close windows and doors to the area
For snakes, keep humans and pets clear and track the snake's last known position
Do Not Do This
Do not spray a wasp nest with a can of household fly spray
Do not attempt to physically remove a wasp or bee nest
Do not attempt to catch or move a snake
Do not spray large volumes of household pesticide at a cockroach infestation, as this scatters the population before treatment
Do not block escape routes for rodents as this may cause them to move deeper into the building
