Backpack charged & ready

Your bugs have had a good run.

Blum's Pest Control. Licensed, insured, and honestly a little too excited about this.

The situation

Right now, in your kitchen, this is happening.

You went to bed. They did not. They've got a DJ. They've got a disco ball. They've got your cereal.

A late-night kitchen where cockroaches in tiny party hats dance around spilled cereal while one roach DJs on top of a toaster under a sugar-cube disco ball. LIVE
Actual footage of your kitchen at 2:14 AM. (Probably.) Blum's verdict: party's over.

Apprehended on a back porch, mid-slice. Relocated to a lovely forest far from any Domino's.

A tearful grey mouse carrying a tiny suitcase and a polka-dot bindle, walking away from a mouse hole in a baseboard at sunrise.

Offense
Ate the corner off every single cracker
Status
Moved out. Very dramatically.

Given 24 hours' notice and a granola bar for the road. The single tear was a nice touch.

EVICTED
How it works

Four steps. One of them is screaming.

You call

Ideally while standing on furniture. It helps us gauge urgency.

Blum suits up

Jumpsuit, gloves, backpack. Takes 40 seconds. He's timed it. A lot.

Bugs reconsider

Their life choices, their address, and their whole deal, really.

You get your house back

Plus a high five. The high five is mandatory.

★★★★★
"Showed up uninvited. Ruined a perfectly good party. Didn't even stay for the DJ set. Zero stars if I could."
— A Cockroach (formerly of 412 Elm St.)
★★★★★
"Called at 6. He was here by 6:20, already smiling. Still smiling when he left. I don't know why he was smiling. My kitchen is spotless."
— Deb K., satisfied (slightly unsettled) customer
★★★★★
"I had a SUITCASE packed and everything and he still made me leave. Do you know what the rental market is like for mice right now?"
— M. Mouse, now living in a shed

Our fleet

Meet the fleet. (It's one van.)

  • Since 1972. The van, not Blum.
  • Red siren light is purely decorative and legally can't be turned on.
  • Top speed: "enough."
  • If you see it parked on your street, the bugs already know.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is the backpack safe?

It is safe for you, your kids, and your pets. Blum's eyebrows have a more complicated relationship with it, but they grew back.

Do you do ghosts?

We understand the confusion. The jumpsuit, the backpack, the energy. But no. We do bugs. If something in your attic is moaning, it's probably a raccoon, and we do do raccoons.

Why is he smiling like that?

He genuinely loves this job. We've looked into it. There's no other explanation.

Can I watch?

Yes. Blum will narrate the whole thing like a nature documentary whether you watch or not.

What if the bugs come back?

Then Blum comes back, for free, and he'll be even more excited the second time. You've been warned.
