Yes. Pest-End offers comprehensive pest control and wildlife removal for both residential and commercial properties. We service single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, restaurants, offices, schools, warehouses, and more. Every service is tailored to the type of property and the specific pest or wildlife issue.

4
How fast can Pest-End come out after I schedule service?

Pest-End offers prompt scheduling and quick responses, especially for urgent pest or wildlife problems. Appointment availability varies by region and season, but we prioritize time-sensitive requests whenever possible.

5
Are your pest treatments safe for kids, pets, and the environment?

Pest-End uses Integrated Pest Management methods that prioritize safety and sustainability. We rely on inspection, exclusion, sanitation, and targeted treatments to solve issues while minimizing the amount of product needed. This protects children, pets, and the environment and ensures treatments are both effective and responsible.

6
How should I prepare my home before a pest control treatment?

In most cases, little preparation is needed. Clear access to areas where pests or wildlife have been active and ensure floors and surfaces are tidy. Our team will inform you of any specific steps required before your appointment.

7
Is it normal to see pests after a treatment, and how long does it last?

Yes. Many treatments can cause pests to move around more for a short period because they are being flushed from their hiding areas. This usually settles within a few days as the treatment takes full effect. If activity continues longer than expected, we are happy to follow up and make sure the issue is fully resolved.

8
What happens if pests return after your service?

Our services are designed to provide long-lasting protection, and if you ever have concerns between visits, our team is here to support you. Many of our programs, including HomeGuard and BusinessGuard, include a reservice guarantee, which means we can address continued activity at no additional cost. Your peace of mind is always our priority.

9
How does Pest-End keep pests from coming back long term?

Pest-End emphasizes prevention and ongoing protection. Our technicians inspect properties for entry points, structural vulnerabilities, moisture issues, and potential food sources. We seal openings, offer sanitation guidance, and use targeted treatments when needed. Combined with regular monitoring through our HomeGuard plans, this approach keeps your property protected through seasonal pest cycles.

10
Do you offer year-round or seasonal protection plans?

Yes. Our HomeGuard programs and BusinessGuard programs provide year-round protection with scheduled services that adapt to New England’s seasonal pest activity. These plans include preventive treatments and reservice at no cost if pests appear between visits. They are the most effective way to maintain ongoing protection throughout the year.

11
Can Pest-End remove wildlife like bats, squirrels, raccoons, or other animals?

Yes. Pest-End provides humane wildlife removal for animals such as bats, squirrels, raccoons, birds, skunks, and other nuisance wildlife. Our wildlife team specializes in safe removal, cleanup, and exclusion to keep animals from getting back inside. We inspect for entry points, secure vulnerable areas, and make recommendations to protect your home long term.

12
What factors affect the cost of pest or wildlife control?

The cost of pest or wildlife control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the level of activity, the size of the home or building, and how much time and work is required to resolve the issue. Wildlife services may also include removal, cleanup, and exclusion to prevent animals from returning. Our team provides clear recommendations and transparent pricing so you know exactly what is needed to protect your property.

13
When should I call a professional instead of trying DIY pest control?

You should call a professional when pests or wildlife keep coming back, when the issue is spreading, or when you are concerned about damage or safety. DIY methods may help temporarily, but they often do not reach nesting areas or solve the source of the problem. Pest-End identifies how and why the issue started and provides long term solutions that prevent it from returning.

14
Do I need ongoing pest control, or is a one-time treatment enough?

A one time service may solve a specific issue, but ongoing protection is the most reliable way to stay ahead of pests in New England. Seasonal changes constantly affect pest activity and can create new entry points or conditions. Our HomeGuard programs include routine preventive treatments and reservice if needed, giving you consistent protection all year.
