Visible signs of pests are the most obvious indicator. Look out for:

• Live insects or rodents: Seeing them is a clear sign.
• Droppings or nests: These can indicate an active infestation.
• Damage to food, wood, or fabrics: Gnawing, holes, and unexplained wear and tear can be caused by pests.
• Strange noises: Scratching or rustling in walls, ceilings, or floors can be a sign of rodents.
• Unusual odors: Some pests emit distinct odors.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to contact a pest control professional.

At Bug-eater, the safety of your family and pets is our top priority. We utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, which emphasize the use of environmentally responsible methods.

While we do sometimes use EPA-registered products, our technicians are trained to apply them safely and strategically, minimizing exposure while maximizing effectiveness. We can discuss your concerns and any specific needs before treating your home.

The cost of pest control varies depending on several factors, including:

• The type of pest: Some pests are more difficult and time-consuming to treat than others.
• The size of your property: Larger homes and properties often require more treatment.
• The severity of the infestation: A small problem might require a single treatment, while a severe infestation may require multiple visits.
• The treatment plan: Different treatment methods come with varying costs.

We offer free inspections and quotes, allowing us to assess your specific needs and provide you with an accurate estimate before any work begins.

Here are some helpful tips to prevent future infestations:

• Seal entry points: Check and seal cracks and gaps in your home’s foundation, walls, and around windows and doors.
• Maintain a clean home: Promptly clean up spills, food crumbs, and trash.

• Remove clutter: Clutter provides hiding places for pests.
