What we see in Independence
Local construction, local pest pressure
The Independence Square and Truman neighborhood hold homes built well before 1900 - rubble and stone foundations, crawl spaces, and decades of mature landscaping grown right up against the structure. That is termite and carpenter ant country, and it is where an inspection matters more than a spray. Out toward 23rd Street and the Little Blue valley the stock shifts to 1950s and 60s ranches on block foundations, where the recurring problems are mice in the fall and ants at the slab line every spring.
Why Independence Homeowners Choose All Star
Pre-war foundations, crawl spaces, and mature trees drive termite, carpenter ant, and rodent activity, while the Little Blue valley on the east side adds moisture-driven pressure.
30+ Years Experience
Real field knowledge from someone who has seen what works and what does not.
No Contract Required
Plans are available if you want one, and one-time service is always an option.
Guaranteed Re-Service
On our service plans: if pests return to a treated area between visits, we come back and treat it again at no charge. Bed bugs and cockroaches are not included in between-visit re-service — those treatments include their own scheduled follow-up visit.
Direct Owner Contact
You talk to the person responsible for solving the problem.
Family-Conscious Treatments
Modern treatment methods with respect for families, pets, pollinators, and wildlife.
Clear Pricing
A firm quote from the owner after a free inspection — no hidden fees and no surprise bills. A trip charge may apply to homes farther out.
Seeing Ants in Walls in Independence?
Carpenter ants and acrobat ants in a wall usually point to moisture — a leak, a damp sill, or wood that stays wet. We find the source of the moisture and the nest, not just the ants you can see.
Not sure if it's ants or termites? Here's how to tell them apart.
Common Pest Problems in Independence
Termite Control in Independence
Subterranean termites swarm March through May. Routine termite inspections are free.
Mouse & Rat Control in Independence
Mice move indoors as nights cool in fall. Our rodent exclusion work carries a 2-year warranty.

Mosquito Control in Independence
Our regular mosquito service in Independence is yard misting: we treat the shaded spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day — under decks, in dense shrub beds, along fences and tree lines. If you would rather not mist the whole yard, the Fog-Free Mosquito Station Program is the other option, with stations placed where females go to lay eggs. Misting runs April through September; the stations run April through October. Either way, dumping standing water every week makes a real difference.

FAQs for Independence Pest Service
Do you offer free inspections in Independence?
Yes. All Star Pest Solutions offers free inspections and clear recommendations for pest issues in Independence.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Recurring service is available but never required. If a full year of quarterly protection is the right fit for your home, we will tell you why — and if one-time service suits you better, we will say that too.
How is pest service priced?
Pricing depends on the pest, property size, and treatment needs, so All Star quotes each home individually after a free inspection. Call or text (913) 738-7827 for a firm number.
What happens if pests come back?
On our recurring service plans, if pests return to a treated area between scheduled visits, we come back and treat it again at no charge. After a one-time treatment, a return visit is a new service call. Bed bugs and cockroaches are not included in between-visit re-service — those treatments include their own scheduled follow-up visit. Details are on our guarantee page.
