Emergency Same-Day Pest Control

Same-Day Pest Control When It's Urgent

Some pest issues can wait a day or two. Others can't. A wasp nest by the front door, a rat in the kitchen, or sudden cockroach activity in a restaurant prep area all create real safety and operational issues. For urgent situations, Apollo Pest Control offers same-day emergency pest control when our schedule allows.

Same-day service is subject to availability and may include an emergency surcharge. The earlier in the day you call, the better the chance of fitting you in.

Situations We Treat Same-Day When Possible

  • Active wasp, hornet or yellowjacket nest in a high-traffic area
  • Wasp nest above a door, on a busy patio, or near a play area
  • Rodent activity in living areas, kitchens or food storage
  • Cockroach activity in a kitchen or food-service business
  • Severe ant infestation around food prep areas
  • Bed bug issues in a rental suite that must be addressed quickly
  • Stinging insects affecting a tenant or customer area

How Emergency Service Works

  1. Call early in the day for the best chance of same-day availability.
  2. Describe what you're seeing and where the activity is. Photos help.
  3. We'll give you a realistic time window — or tell you honestly if we can't get there same-day.
  4. We arrive, assess, and treat. An emergency surcharge may apply.
  5. We follow up if the situation requires a second visit.

Common Emergency Situations and What to Do First

SituationWhat to Do Before We Arrive
Wasp nest above a doorUse a different door if possible. Keep pets and children indoors. Don't seal the opening.
Yellowjacket ground nestMark the spot from a safe distance. Keep mowers and pets away.
Rat or mouse in the kitchenPut away food, close pet food. Don't set out poison if you have pets or children.
Cockroaches in a restaurant kitchenContinue prep in a separate area if possible. Note locations of sightings.
Bed bugs found in a suiteDo not move bedding or furniture to another room. Don't fog or bug-bomb.

If We Can't Be There Today

If we can't make a same-day visit, we'll let you know the soonest realistic appointment and give you steps to take in the meantime to reduce the risk — for example, how to safely avoid a wasp nest entrance, how to prevent rodent activity from spreading further, or how to prep a unit for bed bug treatment so the eventual service is more effective.

For Businesses With Recurring Urgency

For restaurants, cafés, multi-unit buildings and small landlords who have recurring time-sensitive issues, an ongoing service plan often makes more sense than repeated emergency calls. Talk to us about a routine visit schedule that prevents most emergencies before they happen.
