Do you need a commercial rodent control services?
Noticing the common signs of rodents in a business is crucial for early intervention and control. Here are some of the most common signs that indicate the presence of rodents in a business:
- Droppings: Rodent droppings can be found in numerous places such as attics, where food is stored, under sinks or inside cabinets, along walls, or in hidden storage rooms and basements.
- Gnaw marks: Finding gnaw marks on furniture, walls, or wires is a telling sign of rodent presence. These marks may also indicate the severity of an infestation, with newer marks appearing lighter in color and becoming darker as they age.
- Nests: Rodents build nests in secluded areas from shredded paper, fabric, or other fibrous materials. These nests may be found in boxes, among debris, or in voids in walls or ceilings.
Rodent control for businesses
We understand every business has its unique challenges, so offer a variety of effective rodent control solutions to tackle rodent issues at your property. Additionally, we partner with you to identify areas conducive to rodent activity and share best practices to minimize the overall risk of infestation. Our rodent solutions include:
Activated Liners
Our bed bug exterminators discreetly place activated liners beneath your box spring or mattress, which contain a material designed to kill bed bugs that attempt to cross them. Activated liners help eliminate existing pests but also offer a layer of ongoing protection by taking out new bugs before they can infest your bed.
Encasements
By installing protective encasements on your mattresses and box springs, we trap any bed bugs already inside, stopping them from feeding or moving. While this bed bug treatment does not serve as a prevention method, it helps contain any existing bed bugs, making it easier to manage the situation.
Heat treatment
At Terminix, our bed bug exterminators use heat treatments to raise temperatures in infested areas, making it unsuitable for bed bugs. Heat treatments are designed to reach all the hidden cracks and crevices, taking care of adults, nymphs, and eggs in just one comprehensive treatment.
Vacuuming
Your technician may vacuum to physically remove visible bed bugs and eggs from surfaces like mattresses, box springs, and furniture. Vacuuming helps reduce the current population of pests, giving us a valuable head start in protecting your spaces.

FAQs About Bed Bug Control
The cost of bed bug removal from your home varies depending on the severity of your problem and many other factors. The best way to determine the cost of bed bug removal is to schedule a free inspection. Your Terminix technician will provide an estimate after the inspection.
Bed bugs are sneaky. You may never actually see them, but if they are present, you may see such tell-tale signs as specks of blood on your sheets or pajamas, fecal matter that looks like tiny rust spots on your mattress or sheets, and waking up to itchy raised red welts on exposed skin. If you see any of these bed bug signs, contact the bed bug removal specialists at Terminix to FREE bed bug inspection.
Adult bed bugs can be 1 to 7 millimeters long, which is big enough to see with the naked eye. However, bed bugs are experts at hiding, so you might never actually see one. These tiny pests tend to hide inside crevices in your mattress or furniture, emerging only when you or your pets are still long enough for them to feed on your blood.
Bed bugs are parasitic. They suck human blood. They will suck the blood of warm-blooded animals, too, but humans are easier because bed bugs are adapted to feeding on humans. One interesting (and slightly disturbing) fact about bed bugs is that they can live for months without eating. This makes bed bug control a little trickier than controlling pests that will die sooner without a source of sustenance.
After your free home inspection, your Terminix pest professional will confirm with you where the bed bugs are located. We will offer you a customized treatment plan that takes into account various factors unique to your bed bug problem. Because every infestation is different, the recommended treatments may vary, but will be tailored to best attack your bed bug problem. These treatment options may include the use of heat, steam, vacuuming, trapping monitors, or a non-toxic solution to rapidly freeze the bed bugs.
Our Nix Pest Guarantee promises that we will come back to treat your bed bug problem for free if they return within 6 months of the first bed bug treatment.
While bed bugs aren't known to transmit disease-causing pathogens, their bites can irritate the skin, and some people can have an allergic reaction. Excessive scratching could irritate and damage the skin, presenting a risk of infection. Bed bugs can also have psychological tolls on those with an infestation, such as anxiety or stress.
Our bed bug control solutions begin working immediately, though you may still see bed bugs for a short period after the treatment. After the bed bug treatment, technicians may follow up to inspect again to ensure that the bed bugs are gone.
It is possible for bed bugs to return after treatment since they can enter your home at any time by being carried in on clothing, luggage, or furniture or from neighboring properties in multi-unit dwellings. However, if bed bugs return after your initial treatment, Terminix will come back — at no additional cost to you.2 Schedule your free bed bug inspection with Terminix today.
