Exterminator vs. Pest Control: The Differences You Need to Know

September 10, 2026
When you find unwanted visitors in your home like termites, rodents or carpenter ants, your first reaction is right. ‘Call an exterminator!’ you yell while doing a quick internet search for ‘exterminator, Roanoke, VA.’ Exterminator has the word ‘terminator’ in it, and it conjures up images of that famous movie cyborg assassin who ‘handled’ things. An exterminator does ‘handle’ unwanted pests, and you do want those pests out of your house – forever. But wait a minute. Your neighbor gave you the business card for their pest control technician. Doesn’t ‘exterminator’ and ‘pest control technician’ describe same person? Not exactly. While the descriptions are used interchangeably, there are differences between the two roles that are important for you to understand when dealing with household pests.
