FAQ

  • Home Pest Control

    • Does Home Insurance Cover Pest Control?

      Homeowner's insurance may or may not cover pest control services, depending on the plan in question. As a rule of thumb, most policies cover household damages, not annual pest management or treatment services. 

      Unfortunately, the vast majority of pest control damage falls under 'homeowner negligence.' You could, however, attempt to dispute this claim by submitting records of ongoing maintenance. Regular home services and inspections from Overson Pest Control can help you gather documentation for your insurance adjuster.

    • Are Commercial Landlords Responsible For Pest Control?

      In Arizona, pest control is typically the responsibility of the landlord (so long as infestations are not the result of tenant actions). If you did not attract pests through neglect, omission, or inaction, you shouldn't have to worry about managing general pest control.

      That said, your landlord could dispute the provision of pest control services on the grounds that you are specifically attracting pests. This may require you to resolve the issue on your own or pay out-of-pocket for professional services.

      Please consult with a legal expert for more information about your responsibilities.

    • How Do I Prepare My Home For Pest Control?

      Pest control treatments from Overson Pest Control were designed to be quick, simple, and efficient. We don't require customers to prepare in advance for our general home pest control services.

      You never need to worry about pre-inspections, either; instead, you'll receive a complimentary estimate. We also provide next-say servicing to customers so we can address emergent needs as quickly as possible.

  • Termite Control

    • How Do I Control Termites?

      The most effective way to control termites yourself is to prevent infestations from settling down in the first place. This requires the removal of soil-to-wood contact, sealing cracks and gaps, and reducing moisture in your home.

      Keep in mind DIY termite control could result in serious side effects. The best way to control termites already inside your home is to rely on professional-grade solutions from Overson Pest Control.

    • Can I Do My Own Termite Control?

      The truth is that DIY termite control is rarely effective for homeowners. Not only could it be an expensive option and difficult to manage on your own, but it may also serve as a ‘band-aid’ solution to a much larger and more complex problem.

  • Spider Control

    • How Much Does Spider Control Cost?

      The cost of the spider control services offered by Overson Pest Control can vary based on a couple of factors. While spider control can be a stand-alone service, we also include spider control in our general pest control services. Since a spider infestation is often a secondary issue that is present because of other pests, we recommend our cost-effective general pest control plan to stop spiders and many other common household pests from getting into your Phoenix home.

    • How Do I Control Spiders In My House?

      Keeping spiders out of your Phoenix home requires you to keep other pests out of your house as well. Spiders usually come inside in search of food, so if they find a healthy insect population, they’ll stick around. By making sure you don’t have a pest problem, you can help keep spiders out of your house. If spiders are already present in your home, Overson Pest Control recommends our spider control services to get rid of the infestation.

    • How Do I Get Rid Of Spider Infestations?

      Most spiders that get into Phoenix homes are nuisance pests, but a few can be dangerous to your health and the health of your family. Regardless of the types of spiders in your home, you don’t want them there. Getting rid of a spider infestation is easiest when you get the help of the professionals at Overson Pest Control. We will not only eliminate your spider problem but can also determine if an underlying pest problem is causing your spider issues. For a pest-free home, contact Overson Pest Control.

  • Scorpion Control

    • Can Pest Control Get Rid Of Scorpions?

      Although it would be nice if there were one type of pest control treatment that could take care of every kind of pest you might find on your Phoenix property, unfortunately, that’s not the reality. General pest control treatments do cover most common insect pests that get into houses in our area, but some pests, including scorpions, require specialized treatments that specifically target them. If you have scorpions on your property, we highly recommend our scorpion control service.

    • How Do I Control Scorpions?

      Leave it to the professionals! Some scorpions in Phoenix are extremely dangerous due to their venomous stings, so they’re not a pest you want to try to get rid of on your own. Instead, Overson Pest Control recommends contacting us for safe and effective scorpion control. We don’t just provide general treatments but target the scorpions where they spend their time so that you can be certain your scorpion problem will be fully eliminated.

    • What Is The Best Pest Control For Scorpions?

      The best pest control for scorpions is a treatment plan that specifically targets the scorpions that are on your property. Scorpion control isn’t easy, which is why many pest control companies don’t offer it. Thankfully, when you choose Overson Pest Control, you receive expert service from trained professionals. We offer prompt service, target scorpion nests for full elimination, and return 30 days after your initial service to ensure the problem is fully resolved.

  • Rodent Control

    • How Can I Tell if Rodents Have Gotten Into My Phoenix Home?

      Most rodents are nocturnal, so identifying an infestation in-process requires knowing the telltale warning signs they leave behind. Here are some key signs to be aware of that could indicate rodents have gotten onto your property:

      • Small brown droppings, especially in the kitchen or pantry
      • Gnaw marks around your walls and baseboards
      • Grease smudges left from rodents rubbing up against your walls
      • Paper, fabrics, or plants that have been shredded
      • Food packaging that has been tampered with
      • Small coin-sized holes in the exterior of your home 
      • Sounds of scampering or scurrying at night
      • Foul odors in the home
      • Dead rodents

      If you’ve seen any of the above warning signs, don’t wait: contact us immediately for a free inspection!

    • How Much Does Rodent Control Cost?

      The cost of your rodent control services will depend on a variety of factors. At Overson Pest Control, we start with a thorough inspection prior to performing any type of service so that we can get an idea of how widespread the infestation is and what services will need to be provided. We’ll then develop a treatment plan customized to your needs and go over the cost estimate with you. Services may include bait stations, traps, exclusion services, and more.

    • Are Rodents Dangerous?

      Rodents can be a very dangerous pest. They can transmit numerous diseases including salmonella, tularemia, hantavirus, leptospirosis, choriomeningitis, rat-bite fever, and more. They can also be hosts to parasites like fleas and mosquitoes, which carry diseases of their own. They can contaminate food with their saliva or excrement and they can even start house fires due to their tendency to chew on electrical wiring. Simply put, rodents are destructive pests that pose a real threat to the humans they share living space with.

    • Are Cats Good For Rodent Control?

      When you see rodents running through your home, your first instinct might be to go out and adopt a cat from your local shelter. Although we are all for rescuing shelter animals, we don’t recommend this method for taking care of your rodent problem. It is possible that your cat could catch a mouse or two that it finds in your home, but it is highly unlikely that a cat can take care of an entire rodent infestation. Rodents spend time in areas that cats can’t access, and if they feel threatened, rodents are likely to retreat further into your house, making them more difficult to eliminate.

    • Why Is Professional Rodent Control Necessary?
      Rodents are difficult to treat, and the longer they go untreated, the more destruction they will cause. DIY efforts are often ineffective both because they fail to treat the entire infestation, allowing it to return after weeks or even days, and the treatments can backfire in a number of ways, making the problem worse. For these reasons and more, it’s essential to partner with a trusted rodent removal professional in order to ensure the safety of your home.
    • How Do I Control A Rodent Infestation?

      The best way to control a rodent infestation is not with cats or with other DIY rodent control methods. Instead, the most effective way to get rid of a rodent infestation and ensure it doesn’t return is to get the help of the professionals at Overson Pest Control. We use tried and true methods of rodent control that we have perfected through our extensive experience. Don’t leave your rodent problem to chance; let Overson Pest Control take care of it with our guaranteed services.
