What counts as a pest emergency
- Stinging insects nesting by a door, deck or play area, or anyone allergic at home.
- Mice or rats in the kitchen, walls or attic.
- Bed bugs found in a bed, couch or after travel.
- Roaches spreading through the kitchen and bathrooms.
- Termite swarmers coming out of a wall or floor.
While you wait
- Keep kids and pets away from nests and treated areas.
- Don't spray a wasp nest yourself; it can trigger an attack.
- Put food in sealed containers and take out the trash.
- Bed bugs: don't move bedding or furniture to other rooms.
How quickly can someone come?
Many local pest control companies can come the same day or next day. It depends on your area and how busy they are, so call early.

FAQ
Emergency Pest Control: common questions
Can an exterminator come today?
Often, yes. It depends on your area and the company's schedule. Call and you'll hear the options right away.
Is there an exterminator open near me right now?
Many local pest control companies answer calls early in the morning, into the evening and on weekends. Call (855) 424-9709 and we'll connect you with one that serves your ZIP code and is taking calls.
What should I do if I find a wasp nest by my door?
Keep everyone away from it, don't spray or knock it down, and use another door if you can. Call and a pest pro can remove it safely.
Should I call an exterminator for one mouse?
Usually, yes. Where there's one mouse there are often more, and they breed fast. Early treatment and sealing entry points keeps a small problem small.
Do I need to leave my home for pest treatment?
Often not. Some treatments, like bed bug heat treatment or fumigation, need you out for several hours. The company will tell you exactly what to expect.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
