Pest Control Services in Hattiesburg / Petal
From one-time treatments to year-round protection plans, our Hattiesburg pest control team handles it all:
Termite Control: Mississippi has some of the highest termite pressure in the country, and Hattiesburg is no exception. We use the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System — the industry gold standard — to eliminate colonies and protect your home long-term.
Roach Control: German and American cockroaches are common throughout the Hattiesburg area, especially in warm, humid spaces. Our targeted treatments eliminate current infestations and break the breeding cycle.
Rodent Control: Rats and mice are more than a nuisance—they damage wiring, contaminate food, and spread disease. We remove active infestations and seal entry points to prevent them from returning.
Mosquito Control: Hattiesburg’s summer mosquito season is relentless. Our seasonal mosquito treatments reduce populations around your yard so you can enjoy the outdoors again.
Ant Control: Fire ants and odorous house ants are among the most common complaints in the Hattiesburg area. We treat both the colony and the entry points to stop them from coming back.
Bed Bug Eradication: Bed bugs don’t care about cleanliness — they hitch rides anywhere. Our thorough eradication process eliminates bed bugs at every life stage.
Bee & Wasp Removal: Stinging insects can pose a real danger, especially with children or pets around. We safely remove hives and colonies from your home or yard.
Flea & Tick Control: Fleas and ticks thrive in Hattiesburg’s grassy landscapes and can quickly move from your yard into your home. We treat both indoors and outdoors for complete control.
Commercial Pest Control: We serve restaurants, offices, healthcare facilities, and other commercial properties in Hattiesburg and the surrounding area. Ask about our customized commercial programs.

Signs You May Have a Pest Problem
Pests are good at hiding. By the time you spot one, there are often many more you haven’t seen. Watch for these warning signs in your Hattiesburg home or business:
- Droppings near cabinets, baseboards, or in the attic (rodents and roaches)
- Mud tubes along your foundation or crawl space (termites)
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or appears blistered (termite damage)
- Scratching or scurrying sounds inside walls at night (rodents)
- Small reddish-brown bugs in mattress seams or upholstery (bed bugs)
- Unexplained bites on your skin when you wake up (bed bugs or fleas)
- Ant trails leading to your kitchen or pantry
- Wasp or bee activity near your roofline or in your walls
If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t wait — early treatment is almost always faster, easier, and less expensive than letting an infestation grow.
When DIY Pest Control Isn’t Enough
Store-bought sprays and traps can knock back minor surface activity, but they rarely address the source. Here’s when it’s time to call a professional:
- You’ve treated the problem yourself and it keeps coming back
- You’re seeing termites or termite damage anywhere on your property
- Rodents are getting inside no matter what you try
- You’re dealing with a stinging insect nest inside a wall or structure
- You have a child, elderly family member, or pet with sensitivities to pests or bites
- You’re preparing to sell your home and need a clean inspection report
Our Hattiesburg pest control specialists are trained to find the source — not just the symptoms — and implement treatments that deliver real, lasting results.
