"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."

Summer is the best time of year to treat chinch bugs. Check the instructions on the treatment method or consult a pest control pro for timing recommendations. You want to wait for chinch bugs to have a chance at coming out of hibernation and move around, but not too long that they start doing damage. Aim for around mid to late spring for most chinch treatments.

Anecdotal evidence suggests coffee grounds can keep chipmunks away. Sprinkle them throughout your garden, yard, and plants to help deter them. As an added bonus, coffee grounds can help keep the slugs away, and they’re great for acid-loving plants such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and rhododendrons.
Rat poison that contains an anticoagulant like warfarin can cause bleeding, chills, confusion, extreme fatigue, headache, convulsions, lightheadedness, and seizures. Anticoagulants prevent your blood from forming clots, which can result in uncontrolled bleeding both internally and externally. Other types of rat poison that aren't anticoagulants attack your liver, kidneys, and digestive system. They can suppress your breathing and heart rate, causing low blood oxygen and poor circulation. Burning in your throat and gastric discomfort are common symptoms.
