Control Common Pests

We Know Pest Control

Can you DIY pest Control?

Not only can pests be a nuisance, but some can potentially threaten your property and health. When pest control treatments aren’t correctly used and applied, pest issues can become worse and more of a nuisance or threat. Rapid pest control professionals know how to provide a pest inspection and apply the right pest and insect control solutions to address your specific needs.

Is Paying for pest control worth it?

When you purchase a Rapid Pest Control Plan, not only are you purchasing a service for your specific pest problem, but you’re purchasing coverage for these 13 common pests: cockroaches, ants, spiders, rats, mice, paper wasps, centipedes, millipedes, clothes moths, house crickets, silverfish, scorpions and earwigs. Our pest control technicians are expertly trained to identify your specific pest problem and provide effective pest and insect control.

How often should pest Control be done?

Because pests vary by the seasons, pest control services should be done year-round, at least four times per year. Your local Rapid Pest technicians come out to your home quarterly to inspect and adjust your pest control treatments as needed. This ensures that certain seasonal pests don’t thrive in or around your home as seasons and temperatures change.
