What Counts as a Pest Emergency
Not every pest problem needs 24/7 response — but these do:
- Active stinging insects in living space (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, aggressive bees) — allergic-reaction risk to anyone in the household
- Bed bug outbreak confirmed via live specimens — every hour they spread further into other units, luggage, or bedding
- Rodents in food storage or kitchen — health-code violations for restaurants; contamination risk for households
- Snake or venomous spider (black widow, brown recluse) in accessible living space
- Termite swarm in progress — evidence of an active mature colony that's now producing reproductives
- Pre-listing / pre-closing pest issue — real estate transactions where the pest must be resolved before showing or inspection
- Restaurant, medical, or childcare facility infestation — regulatory or public health urgency
