Not every pest situation is an emergency, but when it is — an active hive near kids, a sudden rodent sighting in a nursery, a wasp nest blocking a doorway — our triage protocol gets a technician moving fast. Our dispatcher's first question is always about safety risk, not just discomfort, since that's what actually separates an emergency call from one that can wait for standard scheduling.
Not sure if it's urgent? Call anyway; we'll help you determine whether same-hour dispatch is needed.


Our emergency dispatch line is staffed around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Every technician on emergency dispatch carries the same state licensing and liability coverage as our scheduled service team.
Emergency dispatch pricing is quoted clearly before treatment starts, even for after-hours and weekend calls.
Emergency vehicles carry equipment for wasps, rodents, and sudden infestations since the exact pest often isn't known until arrival.
An active wasp or hornet nest near an entryway or play area gets same-hour removal given the sting risk.
We respond fast to sudden rodent activity, especially in spaces involving infants or food preparation.
A sudden swarm or outbreak after a storm or seasonal shift gets an urgent technician dispatched to assess and treat on arrival.
Emergencies don't check the clock, so our after-hours and weekend dispatch works exactly like our daytime service.

A storm knocked a tree limb into our shed and disturbed what turned out to be a yellow jacket nest right as the kids were about to go play outside. Someone was there within the hour.
