- DMDean MDec 3, 20255.0American Pest Control gives us friendly courteous service each month at my workplace to keep bugs out and stray mice under control.
- SWStacy WellsNov 19, 20255.0Ely at APC has gone above and beyond as our technician. I used another local company in the past and I never knew who the technician was and that company was never consistent. APC and Ely are consistent, Ely always communicates with me, he watches out for our dogs, and most important, I do not have a pest control problem.
- NNNashla NaNov 18, 20255.0Karlo from American Pest Control was absolutely amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable, very courteous, and explained everything clearly. He treated my place for roaches, and on his 2-week follow-up, I hadn’t seen a single one, not even one! His work was fast, thorough, and truly effective. Thank you, Karlo!!! You’re amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs treatment for roaches or any type of insects. One of the best technicians I’ve ever worked with!
- CLCarrie LangleyNov 5, 20255.0We have been very happy with American Pest Control over the past several years. Josh Lee has reliably been servicing our rat traps every month since we have had them. Customer service has also been very helpful and accommodating every time I’ve needed to reschedule. American Pest Control has even saved me money by making suggestions on how to get rid of spiders without paying for an extra service. They are an honest and reliable company.
- JSJillyin SmithOct 3, 20255.0I just cannot say enough about this company! Joshua, the manager, is absolutely committed to make in certain that everybody has the most wonderful experience and is completely satisfied. Not only did they address my problem immediately, they addressed it thoroughly and continued to follow up until I was completely satisfied. Highly recommend!!
Frequently Asked Questions About American Pest Control
What pests and wildlife do you service?
Our pest control services cover a broad spectrum of insects and small animals. We manage various insects and arthropods, including ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, beetles, bed bugs, fleas, wasps, bees, earwigs, centipedes, and mosquitoes. We also handle rodents and small wildlife such as rats, mice, squirrels, gophers, voles, and moles. Our expertise extends to wood-destroying organisms like drywood and subterranean termites, as well as fungus issues. We address seasonal pests, pantry pests, and occasional invaders. For commercial and institutional spaces, we offer tailored solutions. However, we do not treat larger wildlife like bats, raccoons, or possums, as these require specialized wildlife control services.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We do provide financing options for services that involve higher costs or larger projects, such as fumigation or structural work. We encourage you to inquire about the specific details of these financing plans when discussing your pest control needs with us.
Are inspections free?
We offer complimentary termite inspections, but only for homes that are not currently in escrow. For general pest concerns, we can often provide a quote over the phone. The cost of other inspections may vary depending on the specific situation. We recommend contacting us directly for clarification on inspection fees for your particular case.
Is pest control safe for my family, pets, and plants?
Our pest control methods prioritize safety. We use products that are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and apply them strictly according to label guidelines. Our treatments are strategically placed in areas such as cracks, crevices, and foundations, minimizing exposure to non-target areas like flowering plants, water sources, and personal items. We may advise that people and pets avoid treated areas until the products have fully dried to ensure maximum safety.
Do I need to be home or prepare before service?
The necessity of your presence during service depends on the type of treatment being performed. We will coordinate with you regarding access to your property as needed. Some treatments, particularly for bed bugs or severe infestations, may require preparation. In such cases, we will provide you with detailed preparation instructions in advance of the service.
What payment methods do you accept?

We stand behind our services with a 30-day warranty for all initial pest treatments. If you experience a recurrence of the pest issue within this period, we will return to address the problem at no additional charge.
How long does treatment take, and when will I see results?
The duration of our treatments typically ranges from 15 to 60 minutes, varying based on the size of your property and the severity of the pest issue. Most clients begin to notice results within the first two weeks following treatment. However, it's important to note that more severe infestations may require additional visits to achieve complete control.
Do you require a contract or lock anyone in?
We do not use binding contracts. Instead, we operate with service agreements to ensure clarity in our arrangements. Clients are never locked into long-term commitments. We simply request a 30-day notice for cancellation of ongoing services.
