Commercial-grade equipment ensures complete eradication in one visit for most cases. We provide follow-up inspections and prevention guidance to maintain bed bug-free environments. Treatment options accommodate different property types and infestation severity levels.
Termite Inspection
Comprehensive termite detection and elimination services. Our licensed inspectors use moisture meters and specialized tools to identify active infestations and structural damage. Treatment options include bait stations and liquid termiticides that create protective barriers around properties. We provide detailed repair recommendations and prevention plans to protect against future infestations while maintaining environmental safety standards.
Mosquito Reduction
Seasonal mosquito population management using larvicides and adulticides. Our technicians identify breeding sites and apply treatments to standing water areas while implementing barrier sprays around properties. The program targets common Missouri species like Aedes and Culex mosquitoes through regular applications from April to October, significantly reducing nuisance populations and bite risks.

After battling ants for three months and losing I finally called Steve's Pest control. Kevin arrived 15 minutes early even! He was professional, polite and answered every question I had as I watched him work. The price is very reasonable and well worth it. I will use them again. Service: Ant extermination

We are so pleased to be working with Steve's Pest Control at our lakehouse. Tech Ross S was on time, professional and educated us on how to best protect our home. Within 12 hours we no longer had ants, spiders and weird flying things around our home, deck and dock. Highly recommend this company and trust this technician who really epitomized excellence! TEN stars out of five!
