Pest Control Indianapolis

We provide affordable and family-friendly pest control services to our neighbors throughout Indianapolis, including those living in the neighborhoods of Broad Ripple, Irvington, Fountain Square, Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, Castleton, Warren Park, Riverside, and Bates-Hendricks.

Absolutely! In Indianapolis, we only use kid- and pet-friendly treatments and maintain a safety-minded approach through all aspects of the pest control process. Our Field Experts will let you know when it’s okay to re-enter treated areas. Typically, that means about 30 minutes outdoors (depending on the weather) and 1–3 hours indoors (depending on ventilation). If you have fish tanks, bird cages, or terrariums, your Field Expert may suggest a few extra precautions.

Some of the most common pests in Indianapolis include ants (especially pavement and carpenter ants), termites that damage wooden structures, and spiders like wolf and cellar spiders that move indoors during cooler months. 

Rodents such as mice and rats frequently invade in search of food and warmth. Mosquitoes thrive near standing water in spring and summer, while wasps and stink bugs are more active in late summer and fall. 

Professional pest control helps stop these pests before they become bigger problems and keep your home protected year-round.

While sprays and traps from the store can take care of the pests you notice, they often fail to reach the hidden sources of an infestation. Pests can nest in walls, under floors, or around your foundation, making temporary solutions only a short-term fix.

At Moxie, our Field Experts are trained daily to identify problem areas, anticipate pest behavior, and apply precise professional treatments that target the root source of the issue.

Absolutely. With Indianapolis coming in at #16 in a recent list of the most mosquito-infested cities in the U.S., area homeowners need relief and we are happy to provide it. As part of our mosquito control services, we apply fogging treatments to address active infestations. We also install In2Care Stations, which are discreet devices that target mosquitoes while they are still in their larval stage. These strategies help break the breeding cycle and keep your outdoor spaces enjoyable. Our Field Experts will service your In2Care Stations every 21 to 30 days to keep mosquitoes at bay and your yard comfortable all season long.

We’d love to help with your voles, a pesky problem for homeowners throughout Indianapolis. Our Field Experts will inspect your lawn for signs of activity like burrows, small holes, grass root damage, and visible runways, and then apply granulation and place bait stations to reduce the population. Regular maintenance every 21 days helps protect your lawn while keeping vole numbers in check.

The climate in Central Indiana, with its hot, humid summers and cold winters, has a significant influence on pest activity. Mosquitoes thrive in warm, humid conditions, where standing water creates ideal breeding sites and higher temperatures speed up their life cycle. Ants are more active when it is warm and moist because the soil is softer for building colonies and food sources are abundant. Ticks flourish in humidity because it prevents them from drying out while they search for hosts. In cold winters, rodents move indoors to find warmth and food. 

Because these climate conditions naturally support pest activity, professional pest control is the most effective way to manage infestations and keep your home and yard comfortable year-round.

Yes, pest activity in Indianapolis changes with the seasons. In spring, warming temperatures and increased rainfall create ideal conditions for ants, mosquitoes, and ticks because moisture encourages breeding and plants provide abundant food sources. 

Summer heat and humidity further accelerate mosquito life cycles, help ants maintain active colonies, and allow wasps to forage efficiently. 

In fall, rodents and spiders move indoors seeking warmth and shelter as outdoor food becomes scarce, while mosquitoes and many insects decline. Winter slows most insect activity, but mice and rats remain active indoors. 

Professional pest control helps manage these seasonal challenges, giving you greater peace of mind throughout the year.

Increased activity after the first treatment is nothing to worry about. Seeing more pests at first is a good sign that the treatment is working and flushing them out of their hiding places. As the products take hold, you should notice a sharp decline in activity within a few days. If pests return between scheduled visits, Moxie provides free warranty reservice for customers on our year-round plans.
