These are the situations where waiting until regular business hours is not an option. All require immediate professional response.
A wasp nest inside a wall void or near a high-traffic area — especially with children present — is a genuine emergency. Do not disturb. Call immediately for same-day removal.
Visible rodent damage to electrical wiring is a fire hazard. If you see gnaw marks on wiring or smell burning near walls, evacuate and call both an electrician and an exterminator.
Finding mice or roach activity in pantry or refrigerator areas requires immediate response to prevent food contamination and illness. Same-day treatment protects food safety.
Finding bed bugs the night before travel, a family visit, or hosting guests requires emergency response to prevent spreading the infestation to others.
Finding a black widow, brown recluse, or scorpion inside the home — especially with children or pets present — requires immediate professional identification and response.
Seeing a live rat inside the home, especially near food areas or with children present, requires same-day trapping and entry point assessment to prevent immediate re-entry.

In most metro areas and suburbs — yes. Our network of local pest control specialists spans all 50 states, and many are available for same-day calls including evenings and weekends. Availability varies by your location and current demand. Call (855) 424-9709 and describe your situation — we confirm same-day availability for your specific ZIP code before sending anyone out.
Most specialists charge an after-hours or emergency surcharge of $50-100 on top of the standard service rate. Your specialist provides a written estimate including any emergency surcharge before beginning treatment — there are no surprise charges. For genuine emergencies (wasps with children present, active rodent in kitchen), the surcharge is almost always worth the immediate response.
Emergency situations include: active stinging insect nest near people, rodent activity in food preparation or sleeping areas, bed bug discovery the night before travel or hosting, venomous spider or scorpion inside the home, active wasp colony inside a wall, and any pest situation affecting a child, elderly person, or someone with known allergies. Regular situations — an ant trail in the kitchen, a spider on the wall, mosquitoes in the yard — can typically be scheduled for the next available appointment.
Remove yourself from the area immediately and call 911 if you experience difficulty breathing, throat tightening, dizziness, or widespread hives — these are signs of anaphylaxis and require emergency medical response. For normal sting reactions (local pain, swelling), ice the area, take an antihistamine, and apply hydrocortisone cream. Once you are safe and medically stable, call us to handle the nest so it does not happen again.
We have specialists in our network who take after-hours calls and can dispatch for genuine emergencies at any hour. Availability at specific hours varies by your location and current demand. The best way to confirm is to call (855) 424-9709 and describe the situation and your ZIP code. Even if same-night treatment is not available in your area, we can provide guidance on immediate safety steps and dispatch first thing in the morning.
For wasp situations: clear the area, close windows near the nest, keep children and pets inside. For rodent situations: stop using the affected area, put food in sealed hard-sided containers. For bed bugs: do not move mattresses or furniture to other rooms — this spreads the infestation. For venomous spiders or scorpions: trap under a glass if possible, photograph for identification, keep children and pets away from the area.
