Common pest issues in Manchester

Wasps and hornets are common summer infestations. In the winter, you’re more likely to have mice and rats seeking shelter from the cold. Ticks are another big concern, especially since they spread Lyme disease. You might also have problems with invasive insects like Asian longhorned beetles, brown marmorated stink bugs, emerald ash borers and spotted lanternflies.

Pest control costs in Manchester

Manchester exterminator costs vary depending on the severity of your infestations. Expect to pay between $150 and $500 for a one-time service. However, on the high end, dealing with an extreme bedbug, rodent or termite infestation can cost $2,000 or more. About two-thirds of the homeowners who treated pests in the past year paid up to $1,000, and 30% spent up to $5,000, according to a ConsumerAffairs survey.

How to hire an exterminator in Manchester

You might handle small gnat, silverfish or carpenter ant infestation yourself, but professional treatment is often needed to solve the underlying problem and prevent pests from returning. Here’s what to consider before making your final decision.

1. Read reviews: Look for consistently positive feedback on technician expertise and treatment effectiveness. Patterns of complaints related to billing errors, unmet expectations and bad communication are all definite red flags.

2. Check credentials: You can confirm a company’s license through the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food’s Division of Pesticide Control. We also suggest hiring companies with additional certifications through organizations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).

3. Compare quotes: Get quotes from at least three different exterminators. Make sure your estimates are detailed, including the type of treatment, frequency of visits and total costs. If you’re signing up for recurring treatments, make sure you understand the contract terms and pricing.

Pest problems need quick action

Minor issues like moths might seem harmless, but serious ones like rodents can threaten your family's safety and damage your property. About 16% of Americans report experiencing health issues due to pest infestations, a ConsumerAffairs survey found.

Manchester pest control FAQ

What is the difference between pest control and an exterminator?

Even though the terms “pest control” and “exterminator” are often used interchangeably, there are some key distinctions:

  • Exterminators quickly eliminate an existing infestation. They often rely heavily on pesticides to kill pests quickly and may not address the underlying causes of your infestation. If you have a sudden influx of roaches, call an exterminator to get rid of them.
  • Pest control companies focus on long-term prevention. They typically use exclusion, sanitation and targeted pesticide application (often with a preference for less toxic options). A pest control technician will identify entry points, recommend sanitation improvements and use targeted treatments to prevent pests from entering your home in the first place.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
How often should you get pest control in Manchester?

It depends. How comfortable are you with seeing any pests at all? A lower tolerance might mean more frequent service. Homes with lots of landscaping, nearby water sources or older construction might need more frequent pest control.

  • Quarterly: Every three months is a common frequency for general pest control in Manchester. It helps maintain a protective barrier and catches infestations early.
  • Bi-monthly: If you have a higher pest pressure or a lower tolerance for pests, every two months frequency might be more suitable.
  • Monthly: This is usually reserved for severe infestations or pests requiring more frequent attention, like German cockroaches.
  • Annual: Some treatments, like termite bait stations, require annual checks and replenishment.
