A wasp nest discovered right by the front door, or a sudden swarm of ants after a storm, doesn't wait for a scheduled appointment — our emergency dispatch prioritizes calls where the risk is immediate. Our dispatcher's first question is always about safety risk, not just discomfort, since that's what actually separates an emergency call from one that can wait for standard scheduling.
Call any hour and describe the situation — our dispatcher will assess urgency and get a technician moving if it qualifies as an emergency.


Unlike standard business-hours scheduling, Emergency Pest Control emergency calls are answered any time, day or night.
Urgent doesn't mean unlicensed — our emergency crew meets the same certification standard for every call.
Emergency dispatch pricing is quoted clearly before treatment starts, even for after-hours and weekend calls.

We remove nests directly rather than just spraying from a distance, which fully eliminates the colony instead of just angering it.

An emergency technician is routed to your Altadena property as fast as road conditions allow, day or night.
