General FAQs

Hello Pest is known for our reliable and localized services. We offer innovative pest control solutions and customized pest control plans. We are committed to customer satisfaction and protecting our community from disruptive and dangerous pests.

Our three decades of trust pest control service have helped countless homes and businesses in the local area.

Pests can invade even the cleanest and well-maintained properties. They enter your home and business seeking food, water, and shelter. Weather changes, increased urbanization, and nearby construction may also drive pests indoors, especially during cooler months.

Gaps in windows, doors, or walls, and poor sanitation can also attract pests. Professionals will help you identify and eliminate any pest attractants on your property.

We believe prevention is the most effective form of pest control. By focusing on the exterior, we create a barrier that prevents pests from entering your home in the first place. This proactive approach can help reduce the need for interior pesticide treatments.

While DIY pest control might seem cost-effective, it often leads to incomplete treatments or temporary fixes. Additionally, attempting DIY methods can expose you to dangerous chemicals. It’s always best to trust the experts.

Hello Pest Control offers expert services backed by industry-leading products and techniques you can't get from store-bought options.

Regular pest control services provide consistent, long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.

Beyond protecting your property from the destructive habits of pests, regular treatments help safeguard the health of all individuals who enter your space. Hello Pest Control specializes in keeping the pests that carry diseases at bay.

Termites FAQs

Evidence of a termite infestation includes mud tubes on walls, discarded wings near windows or doors, discolored or peeling wallpaper, and visible damage to wooden structures or furniture.

Another clear sign of termites is their droppings, which resemble sawdust or tiny holes in wooden surfaces. If you suspect an infestation, schedule a professional termite inspection right away.

Permanently eliminating termites from your commercial or residential environment is possible with the professional treatment and ongoing monitoring of Hello Pest Control.

Repairing leaks and maintaining proper drainage around your property is a helpful way to control the wet atmosphere that termites love. Keeping wood dry and wooden structures well-maintained from decay also reduces the risk of attracting termites.

The best way to prevent infestations is by scheduling regular inspections with the Hello Pest Control team.

Termites can be challenging to manage, and improper application of DIY products may lead to incomplete eradication or even exacerbate the problem. Many homeowners find it more practical to hire a professional to avoid the time, expense, and frustration associated with DIY methods.

Bed Bugs FAQs

One of the first signs of a bed bug infestation may be small, itchy bites on your skin after waking up. However, some people may not develop visible marks or itching from bed bug bites, making detection more difficult.

Other common signs to look out for are small blood stains on your sheets or pillows, tiny pale yellow eggs or eggshells, and minuscule dark spots of bed bug fecal matter.

The timeline for getting rid of bed bugs varies on a case-by-case basis. Generally, professional bed bug treatment can take anywhere from a few days to 4-6 weeks. Multiple treatments are often necessary, and follow-up inspections are crucial to ensure all bed bugs are eliminated.

Permanent elimination of bed bugs requires the expertise of professional exterminators. At Hello Pest Control, our job isn't done until the pests are gone for good. Our extermination techniques and tools address all life stages of bed bugs to ensure they do not return.

The best way to prevent bed bug infestations is to regularly inspect your home and use bed bug-proof mattress covers. Bed bugs are clingy hitchhikers, so it is important to carefully check secondhand items before bringing them inside your home. When traveling, inspect hotel rooms and handle your luggage with care.

While DIY bed bug control methods can help with small infestations, they are usually insufficient for fully eliminating the problem. For long-lasting bed bug control, professional extermination is always worth the investment.

Wildlife FAQs

The cost of wildlife removal depends on the size of your property, the wildlife species, and the eradication methods used. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to contact Hello Pest Control for a detailed, free quote based on your situation.

Sounds such as scratching, scurrying, or squeaking can indicate the presence of animals like squirrels, raccoons, or bats

You can also inspect your home for visible signs like droppings, nests, or chewed insulation for more evidence of what type of creature is invading. For a more precise identification, consider hiring Hello Pest Control to perform a detailed inspection and expert analysis.

With our proven track record, comprehensive services, and certified exterminators, Hello Pest Control is the best option for expert wildlife removal.

We have three decades of experience and extensive knowledge of handling various types of wildlife. Our exterminators take pride in the peace and protection they give to homes and businesses. Our high ratings and positive reviews prove we get the job done right.

To achieve permanent wildlife removal, both the immediate infestation and the underlying causes must be addressed. Hello Pest Control can safely capture and remove wildlife invaders, no matter the size of the infestation.

To prevent further problems, it is necessary to seal entry points, remove attractive food and water sources, and implement exclusion methods. Regular inspections and maintenance of your property can further ensure that wildlife does not return.

While some homeowners attempt DIY wildlife removal, this is not recommended by the professionals at Hello Pest Control due to the risks involved. Wildlife removal requires specialized knowledge and tools to handle animals safely and effectively.

Improper handling can lead to injuries, disease, property damage, or even legal issues. It is best to hire a professional wildlife removal service for safe, humane, and effective removal.

Cockroaches FAQs

Besides seeing live cockroaches, the most obvious signs of a cockroach infestation are droppings and egg cases. Their fecal matter resembles coffee ground or black pepper. Cockroach egg cases, dark brown and oval-shaped, will be found under sinks, behind appliances, and in pantries.

The time required to eliminate a cockroach infestation varies widely. It can take a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the infestation and the treatment methods used. Comprehensive treatment often involves multiple visits and continuous monitoring to ensure all cockroaches and their eggs are eradicated.

For the total elimination of cockroaches, professional extermination services are needed. At Hello Pest Control, we use a mix of baits and insecticides to purge your home of cockroaches.

To prevent cockroach infestations, seal gaps around your home to block their entry, keep your living spaces clean and free of clutter, store food in airtight containers, and fix any leaks to remove water sources.

DIY methods for cockroach infestations can be effective for minor issues or as a supplementary measure, but they often fall short with more severe infestations.

Over-the-counter products do not address all areas where cockroaches hide or all stages of their lifecycle. The professionals at Hello Pest Control have access to more potent treatments and can ensure thorough eradication of the problem.

Rodents FAQs

The cost of rodent extermination varies depending on the species, the severity of the infestation, the size of the property, and the treatment methods used. Reach out to us for an estimate.

Common signs of a rodent infestation include droppings, gnaw marks, nests made from shredded materials, and scratching or scurrying sounds within walls or ceilings. You may also notice small, greasy smudges along walls or baseboards where rodents have traveled.

Permanently eliminating rodents requires sealing all potential entry points, setting traps, and using rodenticides. Regular monitoring and maintenance ensure rodents do not return. Hiring a professional exterminator is the most effective way to eliminate an infestation.

Prevent rodent infestations by maintaining a clean environment, sealing cracks and gaps in your home's exterior, and properly storing food in airtight containers. Regularly inspect your home for signs of rodent activity to remain on top of any potential threats.

DIY rodent control methods can work for minor infestations, but they fail to address the root of the problem. Effective eradication requires careful placement and handling of baits and traps. For significant or persistent infestations, professional extermination by Hello Pest Control is recommended for long-lasting results.

Mice FAQs

The cost of mouse extermination depends on the severity of the infestation, the size of the property, and the tools/treatment used. Reach out to Hello Pest Control today for an estimate.
By sealing entry points, properly storing food, and having thorough sanitation habits, mice will be less likely to enter your home. Once mice are nesting inside, it’s harder to eliminate them.
DIY methods can be sufficient for small problems or short-term solutions. When it reaches infestation levels, professional intervention is necessary for proper eradication and long-term prevention.
Seeing one mouse may not be a cause for concern, but seeing multiple mice (or signs of an infestation) can indicate a much larger problem. It’s important to contact a professional to assess the severity of the problem and ensure your house is safe from mice.

Rats FAQs

The cost of rat extermination is dependent on factors such as the size of the home, the severity of the infestation, and the extent of damage done to the property. Contact Hello Pest Control for an estimate on rat control.
While you may be able to find DIY methods of rat removal, they are not recommended. You may expose yourself to harmful chemicals or diseases carried by rodents. Hiring a professional is the best way to ensure longevity in results.
To stop rats from getting into the home, properly seal food sources (including pet food), seal all entry points, and maintain a clean home. Regular inspections can confirm that these methods are working.
Contact a professional pest control service, like Hello Pest Control, as soon as you see a rat, dead or alive, in the home. A professional will be able to assess the severity of the problem and lead you through the next steps.
