"Just checked roof and no pigeons. Awesome! Brandyn of On Edge Pest Control contacted us promptly. Upon inspection, he provided options to resolve problem along with explanation of each process, cost, and pros/cons. Quotes were very reasonable. Once method decided, work began almost immediately. Communication was easy. With other companies, had waited weeks or months to hear back if any response received at all. Brandyn is a knowledgeable, personable, honest, hard-working conscientious young man. Definitely recommend On Edge Pest Control. Just wish we had found Brandyn prior to spending many hundreds of dollars and wasting months of frustration trying to work with another company without success. Try On Edge Pest Control."
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"Recently purchased home. Wanted to start a pest control service. After research, went with Bulwark for their outstanding ratings. Their service was prompt and the tech was very professional. Answered all my questions and took the time to go in detail on their service. My only small complaint was no treatments above eye level. The tech was able to de-web a few high corners and that was fantastic. But personaly, I wish I could just napalm the place and "feel" 100% sure that every nook and cranny has been treated. Outside of that personal opinion, the service itself was exemplary and would recommend it to anyone."
"We have used Western Exterminator for years, and have always been pleased. The past two years the inspector who has done the termite inspection has found termite infestation we were unaware of. My big issue is the delay between inspection and treatment. The infestation was identified on January 30. At that time we were told Western would call us to schedule treatment. On February 4 they called, and told me the earliest they can perform treatment is March 24!!! Online information states that a large colony of termites can eat 1 pound of wood in a day. So, there is the potential of a lot of damage done between now and the treatment, and also the potential for spread of this active infestation to adjacent areas of my house that will not be covered by the March 24 treatment. This near two month delay seems an unacceptable business practice."
"I cannot give enough stars for excellent service. They eradicated an extreme bed bug infestation at our parentâ s home, also confirmed termites and treated to control that problem as well. Their ability to haul away infested furniture & carpeting prior to treatment was a Godsend because dumpsters are not allowed in their subdivision. One hire for everything made it all easier & life better! Thx"

"I have a contract with them so I have to use them again. It pays for itself eventually if you get good repair people. You don't control who they send."
Typically, bed bugs live for four to six months. However, they can live even longer in cool conditions without any food. Bed bugs breed frequently, giving rise to dozens of babies that can quickly infest your home, so it’s best to keep a vigilant eye out if you suspect bed bugs may be around.
One of the best ways to get rid of mice is to prevent them from showing up in the first place with smart tricks—like placing a deterrent around the foundation of your house. Try building a barrier of rocks to make it harder for such rodents to get cozy in the small corners and crawl spaces that might give them access to the interior.
It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:
Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.
Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.
When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.
Roof rats get their name because they’re most often found in attics or the area around the attic. They often use tree limbs that hang over a roof to get into a home’s attic and look for shelter. Once inside, they not only like the attic space but can also burrow themselves into soffits or small holes in the ceiling and build their nest.
Boric acid is among the harsher chemicals you can use in your home, and it poses risks whether ingested, inhaled, or touched. Kids and pets alike tend to put their hands and mouths on anything within reach, so it’s always a good idea to store boric acid in a spot they can’t get to and use it only when they’re not around for an extended period. When you use it, ensure they’re out of the house and fully clean up any trace of boric acid when you’re done because even a small amount can cause problems.
