You've got a bug. Maybe more than one kind of bug. Maybe you're not even sure exactly what it is — you just know it shouldn't be there.
Whatever it is, A Big Head Pest Control handles it. We're a full-spectrum bug exterminator in Shively, KY — one call covers cockroaches, ants, spiders, wasps, fleas, bed bugs, silverfish, and the full list of pests that make homes and businesses uncomfortable.
You don't need to figure out which company handles which pest. You need to call us.
You turn the light on and something moves fast across the counter. Cockroach. Maybe a few of them. This is not a one-bug problem — by the time you see an individual cockroach in open space, a colony is already established in the appliance motors and cabinet hinge cavities nearby. We treat the colony, not the surface.
Could be fleas. Could be bed bugs. Could be something else entirely. The answer matters because the treatment is completely different. We inspect first, identify what's biting, and treat the actual cause — not the most likely guess.
Under the eaves. In the corner of the back porch. A wasp nest or hornet nest that's growing and getting more aggressive. This needs same-day or next-day response. We do that. Colony eliminated, nest removed, structure treated.
Same spots. Same time of year. This is a colony returning to the same foraging routes. We identify the species, treat the colony source — not just the trails — and break the annual cycle.
Bed bugs. This is the discovery that nobody wants to make. We confirm through inspection, explain your treatment options honestly, and get you scheduled fast.
Most cockroach treatments fail because they address the individuals you can see — not the colony you can't. Our cockroach extermination program in Shively uses gel bait applied directly to harboring sites where cockroaches actually live. An insect growth regulator breaks the reproductive cycle simultaneously.
We identify the species, whether fire ants, carpenter ants, or others. We treat the colony source, not just where the ants are visible, using bait transfer, direct injection, or broadcast treatment.
Whether dealing with common house spiders or venomous species in Shively, KY, we treat both situations seriously through species identification, interior and exterior treatment, and harborage assessment.
We offer same-day and next-day scheduling for active wasp and hornet nest situations. Colony eliminated, nest physically removed, and follow-up deterrent treatment applied.
Bed bug heat treatment reaches every life stage — including eggs — in a single visit. For situations where heat treatment has constraints, our chemical program covers the full lifecycle over multiple scheduled visits.
We treat the interior and yard simultaneously, using adulticide and insect growth regulator to address both the live adult population and developmental stages.
We treat silverfish and other household bugs by assessing moisture conditions. We handle carpenter bees by treating nesting sites and plugging galleries, and treat bagworm infestations during the active larval stage.
Pest control cost depends on what pest is present, how extensively it's established, and what your property looks like. We inspect first, tell you exactly what we found, and give you a written quote with specific scope before any treatment begins. For common single-pest situations, we can provide ballpark ranges over the phone.
Do you treat both inside and outside the home in Shively, KY? Yes. Treatment scope depends on the pest. For most insects entering from outside, exterior perimeter treatment is as important as interior treatment.
How quickly can you come out for a wasp or hornet emergency in Shively? Same-day or next-day scheduling is available for active stinging insect nest situations.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children? Product selection takes household safety into account at every stage. Tamper-resistant hardware is used wherever necessary.
What if I'm not sure what kind of bug I have? Identification is part of what we do. If you can take a clear photo of the insect or droppings, send it to us before scheduling.
Do you offer ongoing pest protection programs in Shively, KY? Yes. For homeowners who want year-round protection, we offer recurring programs with scheduled visits at quarterly or bi-monthly intervals.
