Pest emergencies can be alarming and pose significant risks to health and property. Understanding what constitutes a pest emergency and knowing the solutions available can help Rockwall County residents respond effectively.

What Constitutes a Pest Emergency?
Severe Infestations: When pests such as rodents, cockroaches, or ants invade in large numbers, they can quickly become unmanageable. Severe infestations often require immediate attention to prevent further damage and contamination.
Stinging Insect Nests: Nests of bees, wasps, or hornets near living spaces pose a direct threat to residents, especially those allergic to stings. These nests can lead to dangerous situations if disturbed.
Health Hazards: Some pests carry diseases or cause allergic reactions. For example, rodents can transmit Hantavirus, and cockroaches can trigger asthma attacks. Immediate intervention is necessary to mitigate these health risks.
Structural Damage: Termites and carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage to homes. If an infestation is discovered, prompt action is required to prevent further deterioration.
