Indianapolis has every kind of housing stock a pest could want: century-old homes in Irvington and Meridian-Kessler with limestone foundations and crawl spaces, post-war ranches on the east and west sides, dense apartment communities near the interstates, and new construction on the far north and south edges. Each one has its own pest profile, and a treatment that works for one is wrong for another.
Pest Assassin has serviced Marion County since 2018 from our office in Shelbyville, thirty minutes southeast of downtown. That means a technician who has already seen your kind of house and your kind of problem, and a plan built around it rather than a spray truck that does the same thing at every stop.
Pests We Treat Most in Indianapolis
- Ants Odorous house ants in older kitchens and carpenter ants in damp window frames and porch posts are the two most common calls across the city.
- Rodents Mice move into Indianapolis homes every October, and Norway rats are an ongoing problem in the older neighborhoods near downtown, along creeks, and around restaurant districts.
- Roaches American cockroaches come up from the combined sewer system into basements and floor drains, and German roaches spread through shared walls in multi-unit buildings.
- Spiders Brown recluse are established in Marion County and turn up in attics, garages, and stored boxes of older homes.
- Stinging Pests Paper wasps under eaves and yellow jackets in wall voids and ground nests keep us busy from July through September.
- Termites Eastern subterranean termites are active throughout the city, especially in crawl-space homes with wood-to-soil contact and heavy mulch beds.
- Wildlife Raccoons and squirrels in attics, and bats in the soffits of older two-story homes, are the most frequent wildlife calls inside the city.
Bed bug heat treatment and mosquito barrier service in Indianapolis are handled by our sister companies. See the bed bug and mosquito pages for how those work.

- Standard. Spring and summer coverage with service calls included during those seasons.
- Single Session. One targeted treatment with a follow-up inspection, no plan required.

How a Indianapolis visit works
Call or send the form. We quote it, schedule it, and a technician inspects before treating anything. If a covered pest comes back between visits, so do we, at no charge.
About Indianapolis, Indiana
Indianapolis is the state capital and the largest city in Indiana, spread across Marion County with a downtown core, a ring of historic neighborhoods, and suburban townships in every direction. The mix of building ages, the tree canopy in areas like Broad Ripple and Butler-Tarkington, the White River and its creeks, and a large rental market all shape what pests show up and where.
We regularly service Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler, Irvington, Fountain Square, Downtown, Castleton, Lawrence, Beech Grove, Speedway, and Southport. If you are anywhere in or around Indianapolis, we cover you.
Indianapolis Pest Control Questions

Yes for a single unit, but roaches and bed bugs travel through shared walls, so we will recommend looping in the property manager. We work with many Indianapolis communities directly and can coordinate treatment of connected units.
Ants in spring and summer, then mice in the fall. Older neighborhoods add American cockroaches from the sewers and brown recluse spiders in attics and garages. All of these are covered under the Comprehensive plan.
