"I still have spiders and ants outside but the exterminator comes back when you call. It's hard to tell how successful the treatment is since we've had a lot of rain."

.. COST IS DETERMINED BY THE JOB. TRAVEL CHARGE Min. $ 50.00 EMERGENCY SERVICE CHARGE $125 - $250 * 1 room $ 55.00 * 2 rooms and hall $ 99.95 * 3 rooms and hall $149.95 Cost depends on the area cleaned, method of cleaning and condition of the carpet. Think about how dirty your carpet is, when you last had it cleaned, and if you have any spots or stains that need to be removed. It costs a certain amount of money to bring a technician, truck and supplies to every job, no matter what the size. For JCS, that minimum charge is $55.00. IICRC Standards require dry vacuuming, pre-spotting, pretreatment of carpet fibers, hot water extraction cleaning, application of protector, if requested, and grooming of the carpet. Spots such as red stains, rust and printer inks etc … require additional treatment above and beyond basic cleaning. The cost of these services is $5 per square foot. If the stains can be removed over time can tell. This cleaning is priced based on the amount of time and material required. Carpet protector, such as Scotchguard or Teflon, are $.35 per square foot, while steps cost $3.00 each. Complete estimates can be done over the phone and then confirmed by the technician when they arrive. At minimum, your carpet should be professionally cleaned once per year. This is a minimum and you should expect the carpet to need a corrective or restorative cleaning. JCS recommends monthly cleanings for high-traffic areas, and quarterly cleanings for medium-traffic areas. This type of program is a maintenance program which will keep your building looking professional while prolonging the life of the carpet. Keep in mind that carpet cleaning cannot correct or stop wear. Wear is, in fact, the loss of fiber. What method is best? There are several types of carpet cleaning, depending on what your needs are. For pure cleaning ability, Truck-Mounted Hot Water extraction works best. For appearance and lowest cost, bonnet cleaning works best. JCS will work with you to select the best method to suit your needs. JCS adheres to IICRC standards when performing professional, on-location commercial carpet cleaning.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Homemade raccoon repellents can be a cost-effective and humane method for keeping raccoons off your property. Raccoons despise the smell of vinegar, so keeping a bowl of it near your home can keep them away. Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.

You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know when and what to clean after the treatment. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.

However, you’ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you’ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won’t be exposed to the chemicals.

If the nest is on or in your home, you should have an exterminator remove it. However, if the wasp nest is in an area of your yard that you don't frequent, you can leave it alone as long as the wasps don’t bother your household members. Wasps are very active during the summer months, but they will vacate in the fall and not return until the following year. So, if it's safe to do so, you can leave it, but if it poses a threat of being stung because it's in an area that you use frequently, consider having it removed.

If you’re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It’s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it’s on a sturdy surface so it can’t wobble or tip (squirrels aren’t likely to walk in a trap that isn’t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait—in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.

Spider egg sacs are meant to last, so you can't crush them. One of the best ways to deal with them is to vacuum them up and then quickly dispose of your debris in the trash so the egg sacs leave your property permanently. Egg sacs surrounded by little spiderlings means that it has already hatched, but you may be able to catch many of these with a vacuum cleaner, too.
