After Initial Investment

Prevention is smarter than reaction. Our State Shield program creates a year-round defensive barrier around your home — stopping ants, spiders, cockroaches, rodents, and more before they ever get inside. Rather than battling pests after they invade, State Shield targets and repels them outside your home, giving you peace-of-mind protection every month of the year.

Bed bug heat treatment

Bed bugs? We heat the whole room, eggs included.

ThermaLock™ heat brings the room to a temperature that is lethal to every bed bug life stage, usually in a single visit, and leaves no chemical residue where your family sleeps. We inspect first so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

Starting price, final after your inspection.

Pay over time with Acorn financing

  1. step one

    You book

    Use the price box, call the office, or call Julie any hour, and we schedule a time that works for you.

An inspection has a fee, and we waive it when you move ahead with treatment.

    Between treatments, at no cost. That covers everything your State Shield plan covers.

“I was a little skeptical when my previous bug guy retired and recommended State Termite. I had great control over the stink bugs and spiders in the basement and was worried they wouldn’t be as good. BUT...THEY ARE BETTER! Nicest service techs! goes over and beyond. Truly cares about your concerns and checks everything out thoroughly. I love how we get the same tech guy out every time. He knows the house and knows our needs! 5 star service for sure! Highly recommend!”

“Had a very unexpected underground hive pop up as I was mowing. We have a lot of kids in our neighborhood. I called at 9:56 am. They arrived and were done by 11:08 am.”

“The tech showed up on time, checked every room, and showed us exactly where the bed bugs were hiding and how he'd treat them. No pressure, no upsell. Just a straight-up plan. The treatment actually worked, and they checked back to make sure they were gone.”

FAQ

Straight answers.

Why am I billed monthly when you only come every three months?

We break up the quarterly payments to make it a smaller, easy monthly payment, so you don't have to choose between standard living expenses and keeping a pest-free home.

What does it cost?

State Shield plans start at $49 a month, after the initial investment, and scale with your home's size and the plan you pick. Put your address in the price box and you'll see your number in seconds. Bed bug heat is a starting price, with the final price after an inspection.

Is it guaranteed?

Yes. If pests come back between treatments, so do we, at no cost. That applies to everything your State Shield plan covers.

Why do I need service in winter?

Mice and rats move in when it gets cold. Year-round quarterly visits keep pests from getting established before you notice them.

Is it safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our treatments are pet-safe and kid-safe, and you usually don't need to be home unless we need interior access. Tell us about little ones and pets when you book and we'll walk you through it.

Do I really need a plan?

Pests don't keep a schedule. A plan means regular quarterly visits, a no-cost return if pests come back, and a team that already knows your home. If you just need a one-time fix, call us and we'll talk it through.

How do I pay, and is financing available?

Pay monthly on your plan, or manage your account any time at My account. Financing is available through Acorn for bed bug heat and termite work.
