"

Technician Steven was on-time and listen to my concerns.    I have a large home and my backyard has lots of spiders and ants that needs regular maintenance.

Steven removed all cobwebs which our previous pest control company would never do.   Our yard is mostly concrete with a pool.  Steven arrived with a truck mounted sprayed and he did a great job at spraying the entire perimeter of the house including where all cements join together as that is the gateway for ants.

I watched and everything he said he would do he did and more.   

I purchased the bi-monthly deal and this is our first treatment.    Time will how well things work out or not, but so far and at the start everything went great and am happy to recommend them.

"A yard worker walking on the small hill near the sidewalk in front of our house
stepped in a yellow jacket nest we didn't know was there.  These pests are
mean suckers.  Another worker who was close by was bitten twice by these
pests and they buzzed around him as he ran up our 42 front stairs. 
(He's OK and was not bitten again.)  We'd used Eloy's services once before
to remove a yellow jacket nest half-way up our steep front hill and were so
impressed by his work that we called him right away and he showed up less than
2 hours later to remove the nest.  He warned us there could be some
cosmetic damage but we told him we didn't care.  And it turned out that
the white coated hole he left is a barely visible disruption to the patch of
ivy and is actually consoling to see as proof the pests are gone.
We've used some great contractors from Angie's list but Eloy is the best of the
best:  price, quality, pride in his work, punctuality, integrity, personableness?. Recently
we recommended him to a friend who used his services and who was equally impressed. 
And not motivated just by money but more by building his business and doing a great
job, Eloy stopped by a few months ago to advise us on a potential yellow jacket
problem near our back yard barbecue and he didn't charge us for that
visit.  And this time he advised us to put up some yellow jacket traps to
gauge the extent of the problem in the back yard.  We bought a trap at
Home Depot and hung it last night and this morning there were 15 dead yellow
jackets inside.  We'll be contacting Eloy again soon to see if thinks we
need to hire him for his undetected nest removal service where he hangs
containers with a poison that the yellow jackets bring back to their
nests.  We trust Eloy to let us know if we should use his services for
this or try to handle it ourselves.

"Trap snapped 2 hours after he left. Unfortunately it didn’t kill instantly and I had to finish the job as both my husband and exterminator not present. Had to put poor critter out of its misery. We are city folks living in country for first time and have a lot to learn. Yet very efficient company that uses traps and chemistry nontoxic to environment and my animals. We also have wasp and ant problems to be addressed later in year. Have great confidence they will help."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had several wasps flying around my front and back yards.  She looked all around my house, under my patio furniture (where we found spiders and wasp nests), and under my umbrellas.  We also had a large nest inside an enclosed electrical outlet.  She destroyed all of these nests, sprayed in all the likely places, and even climbed on the roof to spray the eaves.  She was extremely helpful and pleasant and left me with a guarantee for the next few months.  If I find anymore nests, they will come back and spray them at no charge.

"Martin is great! Heâ s very responsive and shows up on time. He inspected my entire house for points of entry, sealed all openings, and set traps. He was very patient with me (I was super freaked out over the rat situation) and explained everything. He even set up a camera in my attic to monitor any movements. I highly recommend Martin and Pest Management Enterprises."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

You can remove a wasp nest yourself, but it isn’t a good idea. Although it looks easy enough to hit down a nest with a broom, wasps may be inside or around the nest and are known for getting aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you follow our guidelines for removing wasps nests with pesticide spray, insecticidal dust, water and dish soap, or boiling water, you may be able to safely tackle the problem.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.

While the term “gnat” is often used as a blanket term for tiny flying insects like fungus gnats and fruit flies, they are different insects. The primary distinctions are in their appearance, diet, and habitat. Fungus gnats are typically darker (gray or black) with long legs and are attracted to damp soil and decaying plant matter, often living in houseplants. In contrast, fruit flies are lighter in color (tan) with shorter legs and are drawn to overripe fruit, high-fructose organic substances, and other sweet materials.

Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you’ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them.

No, wasps only attack when they feel threatened. A sting may seem unprovoked to us, but we likely got too close to a nest. Threatened wasps do, however, send out a strong pheromone that instantly attracts any other wasps in the area.
