Common questions to our Matthews exterminators
In most cases, no. Our methods are non-invasive and safe to apply while you’re home. For specific services, like bed bug treatments or fumigation, our exterminators may recommend a temporary evacuation and let you know well in advance.
Preparation depends on what we'll be dealing with, but here are some common steps:
- Clear clutter and food from kitchen countertops.
- Vacuum or clean infested areas.
- Store pet food and dishes during the service.
- For bed bugs, launder bedding and clothing as needed.
If additional prep is required, the exterminators will provide a detailed checklist.
It depends on the type of infestation and your home’s needs:
- General control: Quarterly treatments to prevent common pests.
- Mosquito control: Monthly services during peak mosquito season (spring to fall).
- Termite protection: Annual inspections with continuous bait monitoring.
We’ll recommend the best plan for your home during your initial consultation.
Time varies by treatment type and home size:
- General pest control: 30 minutes to an hour.
- Specialized treatments (e.g., termites, bed bugs): A few hours.
Our exterminators will give you an estimated timeline during the inspection.
If creepy invaders come back between services, call us. Our satisfaction guarantee ensures we’ll address the issue at no extra cost.

Expertise backed by results—that’s our guarantee.
Keep rats and mice from causing costly damage
Rats and mice do more than creep you out—they cause hundreds of dollars in damage by chewing through wires, drywall, and insulation. They also contaminate food and spread diseases like hantavirus and salmonellosis.
Rodent control covers:
- Comprehensive inspections: We identify entry points and nests throughout your home.
- Effective removal: Using pet-safe baits and humane traps, we eliminate rodents quickly.
- Long-term prevention: Once they’re gone, we seal gaps and secure your home to keep them out for good.
Ensure a healthy, cockroach-free home
Cockroaches bring more than a gross factor—they carry bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, contaminate food, and trigger allergies. Our exterminators protect your family with:
- Inspections: We track roaches to their hiding spots in walls, under appliances, and behind cabinets.
- Lasting protection: We eliminate infestations and prevent reinfestations with targeted baits and barrier sprays.
Don’t take chances with spiders—keep them out
While spiders help control other critters like mosquitoes and ants, they don’t belong in your home. Matthews homeowners need extra protection from species like black widows, which can send you straight to the ER or worse.
Our exterminators give you peace of mind with:
- Web and spider removal: We get rid of webs, egg sacs, and hidden spiders.
- Entry point sealing: We make sure eight-legged creepers stay outside where they belong.
Stop termites from wreaking havoc in your home
Termites are silent destroyers, causing billions of dollars in damage nationwide each year—Matthews homes included. Our exterminators help with the following:
- Non-invasive solutions: Using baits, we eliminate colonies without drilling or damaging your home.
- Long-term protection: With our quarterly plans, you can rest easy knowing your home is safe.

The staff was very friendly, professional and not pushy at all about the service. I would hire them in the future.

I am a long time customer--always satisfied with the service. Last time however, there were still a few spiderwebs on the house-- I called and they sent someone out right away for a thorough redo. I am still a very satisfied customer. Great customer service from office to service staff.
Ruth Roper
Great! Everyone was considerate of my time and inconvenience. Also, every single person I spoke to or met was professional, courteous and friendly.
Cheryl B.
We've used Black Pest for the past 16yrs. Started with our first home and we've continued to use them for each home after moving twice. Always professional, easy to work with, their treatments are effective and in the few times we've needed additional treatments between scheduled visits, they've come out at no additional charge. Have recommended to many neighbors and friends who have same experience.
Kevin Reyes
I’ve used Black Pest for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience. They even respond when I call about seeing a bug or two in my house.
