Pest Emergencies That Require Immediate Attention
Some pest situations cannot wait for a routine appointment. These are the most common emergency calls we receive in the St. Louis area — and every one of them warrants same-day service.
Wasp or Hornet Nest at Entry Point
A nest near your front door, porch, garage, or anywhere your family walks is a sting hazard that gets worse by the day. Wasps become aggressive when their nest is disturbed — even by normal foot traffic. We provide same-day nest removal to eliminate the threat before someone gets hurt.
Active Termite Swarm
Seeing dozens or hundreds of winged insects emerging from walls, floors, or foundation? That is a termite swarm — and it means an established colony is already inside your structure. Immediate inspection is critical to assess the scope of damage and begin protection before the colony expands further.
Wildlife in Your Living Space
A raccoon in the attic, a bat flying through your bedroom, or a squirrel trapped inside your walls — these situations are stressful and potentially dangerous. Wildlife can carry rabies and other diseases. Our emergency response team handles safe, humane removal so you can reclaim your home.
Severe Roach or Bed Bug Infestation
Heavy cockroach activity in your kitchen or bed bugs appearing across multiple rooms means the problem has escalated beyond DIY control. These pests multiply rapidly and spread to other areas of your home. Urgent professional treatment stops the infestation from getting worse overnight.
When to Call for Emergency Pest Service
Not every pest sighting is an emergency — but these signs mean you should not wait for a routine appointment. If any of these apply, call us today.
Wasps, yellow jackets, or hornets nesting near entry points where your family, guests, or pets pass through regularly. Risk of multiple stings, especially for children and those with allergies.
Large numbers of winged insects emerging from walls, baseboards, or around windows — a telltale sign of a termite or carpenter ant colony living inside your structure.
Scratching, thumping, or chittering sounds coming from inside your walls, ceiling, or attic space. This typically means raccoons, squirrels, or bats have moved in.
Finding mouse or rat droppings near food preparation areas is both a health hazard and a sign of active infestation that will rapidly get worse.
Waking up with clusters of small, itchy bites — especially in a line or zigzag pattern — strongly suggests bed bug activity in your sleeping area.
Chewed wires, gnawed wood, tunneling in drywall, or crumbling baseboards indicate an established infestation that is actively damaging your property.
