Box Elder Pest Co.

Is it urgent, or can it wait?

That is the only question most people have when they call, so this page answers it first. General pest and termite work across four counties since 1994.

Call today

These get worse by the day

  • Termite swarmers indoors
  • Bed bugs
  • Yellowjackets in a wall
  • Wasp nest by a door
  • Rats
  • Roaches in a kitchen

Each of these either multiplies fast or puts somebody at risk of a sting or a bite in the next few days. We keep two slots open every weekday for them. Call (816) 555-0142 before 3 p.m. and it is usually a same-day or next-morning visit.

Within a week

Established, but not spreading fast

  • Mice
  • Ants indoors
  • Spiders
  • Silverfish
  • Fleas
  • Pantry moths

These are treatable on a normal appointment. Waiting a week costs you very little. Waiting two months usually means treating a whole house instead of one room, which is the difference between one visit and three.

Next scheduled visit

Seasonal, and mostly a nuisance

  • Box elder bugs
  • Asian lady beetles
  • Crickets
  • Millipedes
  • Cluster flies
  • Stink bugs

Everything on this line comes in through the same gaps every autumn and leaves on its own. If you are already on a quarterly plan we handle them on the visit you have booked. If you are not, an exterior barrier treatment in September is worth more than anything we can spray in November.

Termites are not a spray. They are an inspection and a warranty.

Everything above is solved with a treatment. Termites are solved with a document. We inspect the whole structure, map where the soil line meets the foundation, treat it, and then come back once a year and put in writing that it is still clear. Mortgage lenders and buyers want that letter, and it is the reason to have a company that will still be here in five years.

If you have found soft wood, mud tubes on a foundation wall, or a swarm of winged insects indoors in the spring, that is a termite call, not an ant call, and it belongs on the first line of this page.

Illustrative figures for this mockup. Real ranges depend on the size of the house and how far along the problem is, which is what the free estimate is for. Seniors take ten percent off any line here.

Thirty-one years, one truck at a time

The same person who answers the phone does most of the treatments. That is the whole company, and it is why we will tell you on the phone when something is not worth a service call.
