Altus Exterminator & Pest Control Services
Oklahoma weather keeps things interesting, and not always in a good way. In Altus, the combination of dry heat, sudden storms, wind, and shifting temperatures creates the kind of conditions pests love. Warm months bring ants and mosquitoes. Cooler temps push rodents indoors. And termites? They don't really care about the season; they just quietly keep working.
If you've been dealing with a pest issue that keeps coming back no matter what you try, you're not alone. At Environmental Pest Control, we are a local, family-owned business, and we've been helping homeowners and businesses in southwest Oklahoma figure out what's actually going on since 1998, not just what's visible on the surface.

The ACE Certified Advantage
We believe effective pest control requires true biological training, and we start at the top. Chad Highley, our owner, is the only independent Associate Certified Entomologist in Southwest Oklahoma. This advanced training trickles down directly to our entire field crew. When we inspect your property, we are looking at pest behaviors, nesting habits, and environmental drivers with scientific insight.
Pest Problems Here Aren't One-Size-Fits-All
Altus has a mix of older homes, open land, agricultural areas, and commercial properties, and each one tends to attract different pests. A house near an irrigated field deals with different issues than a downtown business or a newer subdivision on the edge of town.
That's why we don't show up and start spraying. Before anything else, we look at where pests are coming from, what's drawing them in, and what's actually going to work for your specific property. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods, which means strategic treatments, monitoring, and prevention rather than just repeat applications.
Why DIY Treatments Often Fall Short
Store-bought sprays and traps can knock down pest activity for a little while, but they rarely fix what's causing the problem in the first place.
Ants might be trailing in through a moisture-damaged wall near the bathroom. Rodents could be getting into the attic through a gap by the roofline you didn't know was there. Mosquitoes may be breeding in a low spot in the yard that holds water after rain. Without finding those entry points and conditions, the problem keeps coming back.
That's the part of our job we take seriously, explaining what we're seeing and what your actual options are, without overcomplicating it. And when something needs immediate attention, we offer same-day and emergency service whenever our schedule allows.
What We Treat
General Pest Control
From roaches and ants to spiders, silverfish, crickets, earwigs, and seasonal insects, whether it's your home or your business, we inspect first and treat based on where pests are actually nesting or entering, not just where you're seeing them.
Rodent Removal & Exclusion
Mice and rats are common near open fields, storage buildings, and older structures around Altus. They chew wiring, damage insulation, and contaminate storage areas, and they're good at staying hidden. Our rodent services include trapping, removal, monitoring, and exclusion work to help keep them from coming back.
Termite Control
Termites cause some of the most expensive damage in Oklahoma precisely because it happens out of sight, for months or even years before you notice. We offer termite inspections, treatment options, and WDI/WDO inspections for home sales and property transactions. If you've spotted mud tubes, soft or hollow-sounding wood, blistering paint, or unexplained structural changes, it's worth getting a look sooner rather than later.
Mosquito & Tick Treatments
After rain and irrigation cycles, mosquito activity around Altus can spike fast. Ticks are also a real concern for families with pets, larger yards, or properties with dense vegetation. We treat the spots where these pests rest and breed, shaded areas, dense landscaping, standing water zones, and overgrown edges.
Bed Bug Treatments
Bed bugs spread fast and hide well, inside mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and fabric. They show up in homes, apartments, hotels, and any shared living or lodging environment. Once they're established, professional treatment is usually the only reliable way to clear them out. We inspect, assess the severity, and put together a plan that fits your situation.
Wildlife Removal
Raccoons, possums, bats, skunks, birds, and other nuisance wildlife can cause a surprising amount of damage once they get inside, attics, crawl spaces, garages, barns, and utility areas are all common entry points. We identify how they're getting in, handle removal, and walk you through what prevention looks like for your property.
What Happens When You Call
If you've never worked with a professional pest control company before, or you've had a frustrating experience elsewhere, here's what to expect when you reach out to Environmental Pest Control.
First, we'll ask a few questions about what you're seeing, where it's happening, and how long it's been going on. From there, we'll schedule a time to come out and do a proper inspection. That inspection is where we look at the full picture, not just the visible pest activity, but conditions around the property that may be contributing to it.
After the inspection, we walk you through what we found and what your options are. No pressure, no confusing upsells, just a straightforward conversation about what makes sense for your property and your budget. If you want to move forward, we'll schedule treatment and explain what to expect during and after the visit.
It's a simple process, and the free estimate means there's no cost or commitment just to find out what you're dealing with.
Ready to Get Rid of the Problem?
If pests or wildlife are making your home or business harder to live and work in, don't wait for it to get worse. The sooner we can take a look, the easier it usually is to deal with, and in the case of termites or rodents, earlier action almost always means less damage and lower costs.
Call (877) 414-7478 or contact us online to schedule your free estimate. We serve Altus and the surrounding communities throughout southwest Oklahoma, and same-day appointments for emergency situations.
