Get help with pests at home.

Repeated activity, droppings, nesting material or property damage can give a professional something concrete to assess. Note what you saw, where it appeared and whether it has happened more than once. You do not need to identify the pest before asking for help.

Read our guide to when to call a pest professional for help organizing what you have noticed.

This route is for a homeowner or household decision maker seeking new residential pest-control service for a house, family home or eligible apartment. Commercial buildings and mobile homes are excluded. Availability is checked by pest and ZIP; a town page does not guarantee a provider connection.

Kentucky Pest Help is an independent referral publication. We do not inspect homes or carry out treatments. We may be paid when an eligible call connects, and calling does not commit you to hiring anyone. Read how the referral works.

Ask the provider to explain the evidence it finds, the areas it inspected and any limits on its assessment. A recommendation should relate to the observed problem. Confirm any inspection charge before arranging a visit.

Our pest-inspection guide explains what to ask before and after an assessment.

Ask who will perform the work, what treatment is proposed, what it costs and what preparation or follow-up is included. Request the scope and terms in writing, and verify the provider’s required licensing and insurance. A connection through this site is not an endorsement.
