Frequently Asked Questions from Customers About Atkins Pest Control 

When you’ve been in the pest control business as long as Atkins, you get asked a lot of questions every day.

As mid-Missouri’s top quality pest control service, Atkins is more than happy to answer all of your questions and concerns.

Yep, we offer that too! Every department of our Atkins team is led by qualified, friendly professionals who know their way around the business. Here at Atkins, we go the extra mile to make your mid-Missouri home clean and polished both inside and out.

How Safe Is Atkins’ Termite Control or Bed Bug Treatment in a Mid-Missouri Home? 

Atkins’ pest control uses only the safest extermination practices with a team of professionals fully licensed by the state of Missouri. Every one of our skillful employees has at least six years of experience, as required to earn credentials with the Entomological Society of America. We commit to your household’s well-being by adhering to Integrated Pest Management as well. This is a strategy that combines elements of habitat manipulation, biological control and more. Pesticides are used by Atkins sparingly in order to be safe and environmentally responsible. 

Termite Control: Termites are a swift and destructive species. They chew through wood and can cause thousands of dollars worth of property damage to your home. If termites are found in your home, Atkins offers a solution in one of two ways. First, we can use a chemical treatment that “worker” termites take back to the colony and wipe them out from the inside. Secondly, we can use a baiting system and insert products where termites were found. 

Bed Bug Treatment: Bed bugs travel from place to place and invade areas where they may find human hosts. Unlike other one-and-done pest control services, Atkins treats your mid-Missouri home of bed bugs in three steps. First, we apply a heat treatment to the bed bugs. Then, we heat the bugs in a closed-off room up to 135 degrees. Following the heat treatments, a spray is applied to prevent bed bugs from ever returning to your area. We then follow up within two weeks to ensure your home is pest-free!

What pest control services does Atkins offer?

At Atkins, we strive to be your one-stop-shot for pest control.  In addition to termite and bed bug extermination, Atkins offers top-quality rodent control in the mid-Missouri area. Rodents are not only annoying to have in the house, but they can spread nasty diseases and cause damage to your property. Rodents chew through wires and scratch the walls of your beloved home. We have humane trapping methods for multiple rodents: mice, squirrels, raccoons, and more! Atkins maps out wildlife pest control for the long term, so that the problem never arises again. When a rat exterminator from our certified team drops by, there’s no doubt that your house will be free of rodents.
