What our customers say

Vanguard has serviced our home for the last 3 years and we couldn’t be happier. They are prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone.

Sharon M.

We initially called Vanguard to take care of our spiders, but they also took care of our wasp nests. If we ever need anything they are very quick to respond. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else.

Jeff W.

$75 Initial Pest Service


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

General Pest Services

This service covers ants, bees, bill bugs, box elder bugs, centipedes, clovermites, earwigs, fleas, fruit flies, hornets, mice, rats, roaches, german roaches, scorpions, silverfish, spiders, ticks, wasps and yellow jackets. The initial treatment is $75 with a 1-year agreement. After the initial treatment, we’ll treat your home every 3 months. The ongoing price is $105 per quarter for the contract duration.

Treatment

A general service visit typically includes removing reachable webs, knocking down accessible wasp nests around the home’s exterior, and applying a targeted exterior treatment designed to limit pest activity. Interior service is always available by request. We keep things simple, explain what we’re doing, and make sure you know what to expect afterward.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Most general pest issues start to improve within a few days. You might notice a little extra activity at first, that’s simply the treatment doing its job. If you ever have questions, we’re here, and quarterly customers are welcome to call between visits.

Cost

General pests are included in our standard service. A typical membership plan begins with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and includes a 30-day warranty. We’ll walk you through what makes the most sense for your home before we begin.

FAQ

Will I see more bugs after treatment?
It’s completely normal to see a short-term increase. As the product starts working, pests move more before activity settles down.

Do you spray inside the home?
Interior treatment is always available by request. Many general pest issues can be resolved with exterior treatment alone.

How long does the treatment last?
Most products are designed to remain effective for about 90 days, depending on weather and conditions.

What if the pests come back?
Our quarterly plan is built to prevent that. But if you do see something, we’re available between visits to help at no additional cost for our members.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?
We’re not a “spray and go” company. We don’t rush through appointments or treat people like the next stop on a long route. Every home is different, so we take time to listen, explain what we’re seeing, and build a plan that actually fits your situation.

What if I’m not satisfied?
Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee means we’ll make it right, no hassle.

$75 Initial Ant Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Ants

Ants are covered under our general pest service.

Ants may seem like a minor nuisance, but they can quickly become a major problem by contaminating food, damaging property, and creating large, persistent colonies that are difficult to eliminate without professional help.

Treatment

We start by identifying where the ants are entering and what’s attracting them. Then we apply a targeted exterior treatment designed to interrupt their trails and keep them from coming inside. If needed, we’ll treat interior areas as well, always by request and with care around food and food surfaces.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Most ant problems start improving within the first few days after treatment, and you can always call us if something seems off. If you’re on quarterly service, we reinforce your exterior protection every three months and come back between visits whenever you need us at no additional cost.

Cost

Ants are included in our general pest service. A typical membership plan begins with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and includes a 30-day warranty. We’ll walk you through what makes the most sense for your home before we begin.

FAQ

Why do ants keep coming back?
They follow scent trails from outside. If the colony isn’t disrupted or the entry point isn’t addressed, they return quickly.

Do you treat inside the home?
Yes, interior service is always available by request. Many ant issues can be resolved through exterior treatment alone.

Is increased activity normal after treatment?
Yes. As the product takes effect, ants may move more before they disappear. It usually settles within a few days.

Can I prevent ants myself?
Keeping food sealed, wiping counters regularly, and reducing moisture helps, but once a colony has found a path inside, professional treatment is often needed.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

$149 Initial Roach Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Cockroaches

If you have American roaches or other roaches, our general pest services will take care of them. If you have German roaches, on the other hand, they require a different approach.

For the $149, we do the initial flush out of your home and then we also set up a follow up appointment two weeks later to treat any of the eggs that have hatched.

German Roaches are covered under our general pest service, after the $149 Initial Service. For larger infestations, additional fees may apply.

Treatment

We begin by identifying which type of roach you’re dealing with. American roaches respond well to general pest treatments, while German roaches require a targeted flush-out and a scheduled follow-up to address new hatches.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Roach activity often improves within the first few days, but German roaches typically require a follow-up visit about two weeks later to address hatching cycles. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

Cost

American cockroaches and most other roach issues are included in our general pest service. A typical membership plan begins with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. German roaches require a specialized flush-out and a scheduled follow-up, due to how quickly they multiply. We’ll walk you through the pricing and the plan once we see the severity in your home so you only pay for what you need. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and includes a 30-day warranty.

FAQ

How do I know if I have American or German roaches?
American roaches are larger and usually come from outside. German roaches are smaller and multiply quickly indoors. When I arrive, I’ll confirm which type you have and explain the plan from there.

How long does it take to get rid of roaches?
You’ll often see improvement within a few days. German roaches usually need the scheduled follow-up to fully disrupt their life cycle.

Why do I still see roaches after treatment?
It’s normal to see some movement after treatment as the product begins working. This typically settles over time, and the follow-up visit helps ensure long-term control.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?
We’re not a “spray and go” company. We don’t rush through appointments or treat people like the next stop on a long route. Every home is different, so we take time to listen, explain what we’re seeing, and build a plan that actually fits your situation.

What if I’m not satisfied?

$75 Initial Cricket Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Crickets

Crickets are covered under our general pest service.

While crickets are common outdoors, they may accidentally enter homes. They enter buildings through open doors and windows, cracks around poorly fitted windows, in foundations, in siding, and spaces under doors, so it may be difficult to find the exact point of entry.

Treatment

Crickets respond well to general exterior treatments. We apply a preventive barrier around the home and address any areas where they’re slipping inside. If you’d like interior service, we’re always happy to do that by request.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Cricket activity often improves quickly once the barrier is in place. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

Cost

Crickets are included in our general pest service. A typical membership begins with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and includes a 30-day warranty. We’ll help you decide what makes the most sense for your home.

FAQ

Why do crickets come inside?
They move indoors looking for food, moisture, or warmth. They often slip in through small gaps around doors, windows, plumbing, or utility lines.

Are crickets harmful?
They’re not dangerous, but they can be noisy and may damage fabrics or paper. Regular treatment helps prevent that.

Can you get rid of crickets?
Yes. Keeping a consistent exterior barrier around the home is the most effective way to stop crickets from coming inside.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

$149 Initial Flea Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Fleas

For the $149, we do the initial flush out of your home and then we also set up a follow up appointment two weeks later to treat any of the eggs that have hatched.

Fleas are covered under our general pest service, after the $149 Initial Service. For larger infestations, additional fees may apply.

Treatment

We begin with an initial flush-out treatment to address active fleas, then schedule a follow-up visit about two weeks later to target any newly hatched eggs. We’ll also explain simple steps that help the treatment work, like vacuuming and coordinating with your vet for any needed pet care.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Because flea eggs hatch in cycles, most homes need two treatments about 1.5–2 weeks apart. Improvement happens quickly, but full resolution takes completing both visits. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

Cost

Fleas require a two-visit treatment, an initial service and a scheduled follow-up about two weeks later to target newly hatched eggs. This two-step flea service is $149. After those visits are complete, fleas are included under our general pest membership, which begins with a $75 initial visit and $105 quarterly service going forward. We’ll walk you through everything before we begin so you know exactly what to expect.

FAQ

How long does it take to get rid of fleas?
Most flea infestations require two treatments to fully address both adults and new hatches. We schedule the second visit about two weeks after the first.

Why are fleas so difficult to get rid of?
Flea eggs can stay dormant for long periods, sometimes months. Even if adults are gone, new hatches will appear unless the follow-up is completed.

Are flea treatments safe for pets?
Yes. Treatments are safe once dry. We recommend coordinating with your vet for any additional pet-specific care.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?

Treatment

We remove active nests when it’s safe to do so and treat the surrounding areas to discourage wasps from rebuilding. Hornets and yellow jackets are treated with the same steady, safe approach. If activity is showing up in unexpected places, like wall voids or higher structures, we’ll explain what we see and how we plan to handle it.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take care of stinging insects. Most nests are addressed on the first visit. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

$75 Initial Rat & Mice Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Rats and Mice

Rats & Mice are covered by our general pest service agreement.

Mice and rats are remarkably well-adapted for living year-round in homes, food establishments, and other structures. Homeowners are especially likely to notice mice and rats during winter, following their fall migration indoors in search of warmth, food, and shelter. Once established inside a home, they can be extremely difficult to control.

Treatment

We begin by identifying entry points and signs of activity. Then we place the appropriate traps or bait stations and address small gaps, like stuffing steel wool into openings, when possible. We don’t offer full exclusion work through attics or crawlspaces, but we’re straightforward about what we can do and what may need additional support.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to assess the situation. Many rodent issues start improving within the first couple of treatments, especially once entry points are identified. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

Cost

Rodents are included in our general pest service. Most homes begin with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and comes with a 30-day warranty. We’ll help you choose what makes the most sense for your home.

FAQ

How long does it take to get rid of mice or rats?
Many infestations improve significantly within the first couple of treatments, especially once we identify how they’re getting in.

What are signs I might have a rodent problem?
Look for droppings, scratching sounds, chewed materials, or foul odors. Our initial inspection helps confirm the issue and guide next steps.

Is rodent control included in your service plan?
Yes, rodents are covered under our general pest program, with ongoing monitoring and treatment as needed.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?

$75 Initial Scorpion Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Scorpions

Scorpions are covered under our general pest service.

Scorpions can be dangerous, especially species like the bark scorpion, which deliver venomous stings that may require medical attention. We can provide targeted treatments and home sealing strategies to reduce scorpion activity and protect your family from unexpected encounters.

How do scorpions get into my house?

Like all insects, they come into the home looking for food and water. They find little cracks around doorways and windows, plumbing pipes and utility lines. Basically anywhere they can find a way in.

Are scorpions dangerous?

Some scorpions, like the bark scorpion, can be dangerous. Our treatments reduce scorpion activity and minimize risks.

How can I keep scorpions out of my home?

We combine sealing recommendations with perimeter treatments to keep scorpions from entering your home.

$75 Initial Spider Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

Spiders

Spiders are covered under our general pest service.

Under most conditions outdoors, spiders are considered beneficial because they feed on insects. However, they are undesirable to most homeowners when indoors, and the unsightly webbing spiders use to catch insect prey usually outweigh this beneficial behavior. From black widows and recluse spider to hobo spiders and all the rest, we’ll exterminate them.

Treatment

We start by looking at where spiders are showing up and what might be drawing them in. Then, we remove reachable webs and apply a targeted exterior treatment to the areas spiders use to enter or shelter. If you’d like the inside treated as well, we’re always glad to do that by request.

Timing

We can usually be out today or tomorrow to take a look. Most spider issues start to calm within a few days as the treatment takes effect. You may see a little more movement at first, that’s normal. If you see new activity or you’re unsure about what you’re seeing, give us a call. Quarterly customers can call anytime for a follow-up at no additional cost.

Cost

Spiders are included in our general pest service. A typical membership plan begins with a $75 initial visit, followed by $105 quarterly service. If you prefer a single treatment, a one-time service is $165 and includes a 30-day warranty. We’ll walk you through what makes the most sense for your home before we begin.

FAQ

Why do spiders keep showing up?
They often come indoors seeking shelter or food. Treating entry points and reducing exterior activity helps limit what you see inside.

Do you treat inside the home?
We don’t generally need to, but we can. Interior service is available by request.

Is increased activity normal after treatment?
Yes. As the product starts working, you might see a bit more movement at first. This is temporary and usually settles within a few days.

Can I prevent spiders myself?
Removing clutter, sealing cracks, and keeping outdoor lights limited can help, but once spiders have established themselves, professional treatment is often needed.

What should I expect at the first visit?
When I (Sebastian) show up, the first thing I do is listen. Then I take a careful look and explain what I’m seeing so you’re not left guessing. I’m not here to talk you into anything, just to give you clear information and take care of the problem the right way.

What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?
We’re not a “spray and go” company. We don’t rush through appointments or treat people like the next stop on a long route. Every home is different, so we take time to listen, explain what we’re seeing, and build a plan that actually fits your situation.

$75 Initial Wasp Treatment


Includes General Pest Service + Warranty

The stakes are too high to hope for the best.

Want a bit of insider knowledge? Traditionally, pest control companies grow by knocking on doors… looking for problems that may or may not exist. When they’ve grown a large enough book of business with that approach, they sell it. We look at service differently at Vanguard Pest Control. Our family has been serving this region since 2007. Our success doesn’t require knocking on doors; we’ve grown to serve over 2,500 families through happy customers telling their friends about our work. Our future relies on your satisfaction, so we can’t afford to let you down.

It’d be an honor to earn your trust.
