You just spotted something crawling, or you heard noises above the ceiling. Stay calm. This page walks you through the first hour in your Lafayette home, then helps you pick a provider with smart questions. You will also see which tasks are fine for DIY and which are not. Enormouswear Pest Control is a referral service. Independent local providers do the actual work.
Your First Hour in Lafayette
You do not need to fix everything at once. A few quick moves limit the problem and help a provider later.
- Take photos. Snap the pest, the droppings, or the damage. Add a coin for scale.
- Save a sample. Put one bug in a sealed bag or a jar. Experts can identify it faster.
- Clear the food. Wipe counters. Seal pantry items. Take out the trash.
- Dry things out. Wipe wet spots and fix any small leak you can reach.
- Keep pets and kids away. Do this around droppings, nests and any trap.
- Do not spray in a panic. Heavy spraying can scatter ants and roaches into new rooms.
Write down where and when you saw the pest. That small note saves time on the phone.
Questions to Ask a Provider
Not every pest job is the same. Good questions help you compare quotes fairly.
- What pest do you think I have, and how did you find out?
- What method will you use, and is it safe around pets and children?
- How many visits does the job need?
- What does the written quote include? What does it leave out?
- Is follow-up included if the pests come back?
- Are you licensed and insured in CA? Ask to see proof.
- What can I do before and after the visit?
A solid provider answers in plain words. If you hear only pressure, move on. You owe nothing at this stage, and there is no obligation to book.
DIY or Call a Provider?
Try, then call. Some work is yours to do.
Fine for DIY: cleaning up food crumbs, sealing small cracks with caulk, fixing a dripping pipe, setting sticky traps, putting out ant bait for a small trail, and trimming plants that touch the walls.
Better for a provider:
- Termites, which chew wood from the inside and can hide for months
- Bed bugs, which hide deep in beds, sofas and wall gaps
- Rats or any animal in the attic or crawl space
- Wasp or hornet nests in a wall or high up
- Any pest that comes back after you have tried twice
Pros bring tools you cannot buy at a hardware store, plus the training to use them safely. Wildlife work also has rules about trapping and handling, so a trained provider is the safer path.

What Providers Typically Handle
Providers in our network cover a wide range of jobs for homeowners.
- Everyday pests: ants, spiders, roaches and crickets, inside and around the house
- Termite treatment: inspection, then barrier or spot treatment where needed
- Rodent control: trapping, plus sealing the holes that let mice and rats in
- Wildlife removal: raccoons, squirrels, opossums and birds in attics, vents or under porches
- Bed bug treatment: inspection and a plan that may use heat or targeted products
- Clean-up and repair: removing droppings, replacing torn insulation and screening vents, depending on the provider
Some providers offer all of these. Others focus on one or two. Ask what is on offer before you book.
Keep Them Out Once the Job Is Done
Treatment clears out what is there now. Prevention stops the next wave. Fix it, then seal it. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed back. Keep firewood off the wall. Repair torn vent screens. Check door sweeps. Many homes in the region are older stucco ranch styles with small gaps in the walls, so an outside walk-around twice a year pays off. Ask your provider about a maintenance plan with check-ups through the year.
How the Referral Call Works
Enormouswear Pest Control does not send a crew. It is a referral service. Here is the simple path.
- You call or send the request form and describe the problem.
- Enormouswear Pest Control connects you with an independent provider near Lafayette.
- The provider talks with you, may inspect the home, and gives a written quote.
- You decide. There is no obligation to hire.
Provider hours and availability vary, so ask when you connect. Prices and timing are set by the provider, not by Enormouswear Pest Control.
