I’m currently in the process of buying a home, and after our initial inspection, we were told there might be termite damage. We first contacted a large national pest control company hoping to get a quick inspection and quote for negotiation purposes. Unfortunately, they scheduled us for Friday and never showed up. They then rescheduled for Monday and didn't show up again, and the same thing happened on Tuesday. By that point, we had wasted nearly a week of our two-week inspection period and only had two days left. That’s when we called Liberty Pest Control. I explained our situation, and Trai promptly reached out and was able to fit us into his schedule. From the start, he was professional, friendly, communicative, and genuinely helpful. He confirmed the appointment, kept me updated on his arrival time, and called me personally when the report was complete to walk me through his findings. The level of customer service was outstanding, especially after the frustrating experience we had elsewhere. Trai made a stressful situation much easier and gave us the information we needed within our tight timeline. I would 100% recommend Trai and Liberty Pest Control to anyone needing a home inspection or pest services. I was extremely impressed with the company, and once we move into our new home, Liberty Pest Control will be the first company I call for ongoing pest control services.

How Liberty treats it
Inspection
When you choose a plan online, a local Service Advisor visits your home for free to confirm it's the right plan. On your first visit, your Service Specialist does a thorough inspection inside and outside to see how many stink bugs there are, where they're getting in and what draws them, like sunny walls and gaps around windows, siding and attic vents.
Treatment
- Treat windows and eavesOutside, your Service Specialist treats around window and door frames and eaves, where stink bugs gather and look for a way in.
- Treat siding and ventsThey also treat the sunny sides of your home, siding and attic vents, where stink bugs rest before moving inside.
- Inside treatmentYour first visit always includes treatment inside where stink bugs gather, like around windows, and on later visits they treat inside only if it's needed and ask you first.
Follow-up
Your Service Specialist comes back every 3 months to inspect and treat around your home, including in the fall, when stink bugs look for a way inside. If covered pests show up between visits, just text us.

- Take out window air conditioners in the fall, or seal the gaps around them.

Common questions
Are stink bugs covered by my plan?
Yes. Stink bugs are covered by every plan.
Why are there stink bugs in my house?
Stink bugs come inside in the fall to find a warm, sheltered place to spend the winter. They slip in through gaps around windows, doors, siding and attic vents.
Do stink bugs damage my home?
No. Stink bugs don't eat wood, fabric or food in your home, and they don't breed indoors over the winter. They can leave a smell when crushed.
Why do stink bugs smell?
Stink bugs give off a strong odor when they're crushed or disturbed. It's how they defend themselves.
How can I keep stink bugs out?
Seal gaps around windows, doors, siding and attic vents before fall, and repair torn window screens. If a few get inside, vacuum them up instead of crushing them.
