Our Pest Control Services

W

Residential Pest Control Our residential pest control services are designed to protect your home from common pests. We assess your property and implement tailored solutions to keep your family safe. Trust our best Pest Control in Madison for effective results. Explore → Commercial Pest Control We provide commercial pest control services for businesses in Madison, ensuring a pest-free environment for your employees and customers. Our team understands the unique challenges businesses face, offering proactive solutions. Explore → Termite Control Termites work silently and the damage adds up over time. If your home has never had a termite inspection, or if you are buying or selling a property in Madison, it is worth scheduling one. We inspect for active activity and conducive conditions, and we offer treatment if warranted. Explore → Rodent Control Mice and rats become a serious problem in Madison during the colder months. They chew through wiring, damage insulation, contaminate food, and breed fast. If you hear scratching in the walls or attic, or find droppings in the kitchen, do not wait. Our rodent program includes inspection, trapping, baiting, and sealing the entry points that let them in. Explore → Bed Bug Treatment Bed bugs travel on luggage, clothing, and used furniture and can infest any type of property regardless of how clean it is. We conduct thorough inspections of mattresses, furniture, and baseboards and offer chemical and heat treatment options depending on the situation. Explore → Ant Control
Ants are one of the most common complaints in Madison homes. Carpenter ants damage wood structures and are especially active in older homes. Odorous house ants and pavement ants take over kitchens in spring and summer. We identify the species, find the colony, and treat the source, not just the trail you can see.

 Explore → Cockroach Control
German cockroaches reproduce fast and spread quickly through walls and plumbing. A small problem becomes a large one in weeks if left untreated. We use targeted gel baits and insect growth regulators to eliminate the active population and break the reproductive cycle.

 Explore → Spider Control Most spiders in Madison homes are harmless nuisances. We reduce populations by treating harborage areas and the insects spiders feed on. If you find a spider you cannot identify, do not handle it. Call us and we will identify it on-site. Explore → Flea and Tick Control Fleas come in on pets and can spread through a home fast. Ticks are a genuine concern in Madison given the city's parks and green space access. We treat both indoor and outdoor zones to reduce populations and protect your household. Explore → Mosquito Control Madison's lakes and parks are great to live near, but they also mean real mosquito pressure through the summer. Our barrier treatments target adult resting areas and help reduce populations in your yard so you can actually use your outdoor space. Explore → Wasp Removal A wasp or hornet nest near a door, deck, or play area is a real safety concern, especially for children and anyone with allergies. We locate the nest, treat it, and remove it. We handle aerial nests under eaves and soffits as well as ground-nesting yellow jackets. Explore → Stink Bug Control Every fall, Madison homeowners deal with stink bugs and boxelder bugs massing on the sunny sides of their homes before pushing inside through any gap they can find. Once they are in the walls, they are hard to remove. The most effective approach is a fall exterior treatment before they get inside, combined with sealing the entry points they use. Explore →

Pest Activity by Season in Madison, WI

Madison's climate drives pest activity in predictable seasonal cycles. Knowing what to watch for each season helps you act before a small problem becomes a large one.

Ask a pro →
01

Spring

As temperatures climb, ants emerge from overwintering sites and start foraging inside homes. Rodents that sheltered indoors over winter become more active. Flying insects, including cluster flies, become visible as wall voids warm up. Spring is the right time to address any pest pressures that built up over winter before they get worse.

↗
02

Summer

Mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, ants, and flies are all at peak activity during Madison's warm summer months. Wasp and yellow jacket colonies grow through the summer and are most aggressive by late August. Mosquito pressure is especially noticeable near Madison's lakes and green spaces.

↗
03

Fall

Fall is when Madison homeowners see the biggest surge in overwintering pest activity. Stink bugs, boxelder bugs, cluster flies, and Asian lady beetles pile up on sun-facing exterior walls and push inside through gaps and cracks before temperatures drop. Mice and rats also begin moving indoors in October. A fall perimeter treatment can stop a significant portion of overwintering invaders before they get inside.

04

Winter

We offer a range of pest control solutions that address various insect problems, from ants to cockroaches, ensuring your home remains pest-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often

How much does pest control cost in Madison?
The cost of pest control in Madison varies depending on the type and severity of the infestation. Call is for a free estimate.
Do I need pest control year-round or is a one-time treatment enough?
It depends on the pest and the situation. For an isolated wasp nest or a one-time ant infestation, a single treatment may be all you need. For recurring problems like rodents, cockroaches, or ants that keep coming back every spring, a preventive program will consistently outperform reactive one-off treatments. We give you an honest recommendation based on what we find, not a package we want to sell you.
How quickly can you get to my property in Madison?
We offer same-day and next-day service for urgent situations throughout Madison and Dane County. For routine inspections and preventive services, we typically schedule within a few days. Call us and we will find the earliest available time that works for you.
We get mice every single winter. Why does it keep happening?
If mice keep coming back, there is an entry point that has not been found and sealed. Traps and bait stations remove the mice that are currently inside but do not stop the next ones from getting in. A house mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime. In older Madison homes especially, there are often multiple entry points around the foundation, utility lines, doors, and roofline. Our rodent program combines eliminating the current population with a thorough exterior exclusion inspection so the problem does not just repeat itself next winter.
Every fall my house gets covered in stink bugs and boxelder bugs. What can I do?
This is one of the most common fall complaints we hear from Madison homeowners. Both stink bugs and boxelder bugs are overwintering insects that congregate on warm exterior walls in September and October before pushing inside through any gap they can find. The most effective solution is a fall exterior perimeter treatment applied before they start congregating, combined with sealing the gaps around windows, doors, utility penetrations, and the roofline. Treating them once they are already inside walls is much harder. Timing matters, so call us in September before the surge.
Are your treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We select products and application methods that are effective against the target pest while being mindful of safety around children and pets when applied according to label directions. Before every treatment, we tell you whether you need to keep pets or children out of treated areas temporarily, and for how long. If anyone in your household has specific sensitivities or health concerns, let us know and we will factor that into the treatment plan.
I keep finding spiders in my basement. Should I be worried?
Most spiders found in Madison basements are harmless species that are feeding on other insects in your home. Their presence often signals an underlying insect population worth addressing. If you find a spider that is unfamiliar to you, do not handle it. Call us and we will identify it on-site. We can also reduce overall spider activity by treating harborage areas and eliminating the insects they feed on.
My restaurant has a pest issue and needs it resolved urgently. Can you help?
Yes. We prioritise urgent commercial calls and can typically get to a Madison-area business within 24 hours for time-sensitive situations. For food service operations, we work around your kitchen and service hours, use products and placement methods appropriate for food-handling environments, and provide written documentation of every service visit. If you are dealing with a health inspection issue, call us directly and we will discuss what we can do and how fast.
I manage rental properties near UW-Madison. Bed bugs keep showing up. What is the right approach?
High tenant turnover in campus-area rental housing means bed bug introductions are a recurring risk, not a one-time problem. The most effective approach for landlords and property managers is a scheduled inspection protocol at every tenant turnover combined with a fast response plan for confirmed reports. We work with property managers throughout Madison to build programs that catch infestations early, document every service for your records, and give you a professional process to follow rather than reacting to each report as a crisis. Early detection keeps the cost and disruption down significantly.
Do you offer recurring pest control programs?
Yes. We offer recurring pest control programs designed to help prevent infestations before they become serious problems. These programs typically include regular inspections, monitoring, and targeted treatments throughout the year.
