"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

"Found a wasp nest at my house over a weekend, and called Bee N' Wasp on a Monday morning around 9am.  I was honestly expecting to leave a message but was pleasantly surprised to have someone answer the phone and be ready to help me.  The person who answered was very nice but since I was in LB he gave me the cell phone number for Sam, the person who services my area, so that I could coordinate scheduling directly with him.  So I called Sam, again, expecting to leave a voicemail but another pleasant surprise he answered the phone and was extremely nice.  He was willing to come out that same day @ 1130 AM!  I was not prepared for that, and asked if he could come in the late afternoon/early evening after work.  He said the next day would work, and he'd be there at 530.  Also gave me a quote of 125 to remove a single nest + 25 dollars for any additional nests or work if needed.
Next day:  He actually shows up 5-10 minutes early (great!). I show him the location of the nest that I found (plus another one that I saw after I scheduled the call), and he said he'd take a look around the house before starting.  He found 2-3 other nests on the property and told me about them before proceeding to remove them.  This man was very thorough, and pleasant the whole time too.
After all work was done, he gave me the invoice for 150, wished me a good evening and that was that.  In an out in around 30 minutes.  I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience.  I wish the guarantee was longer than 2 months but probably not something that can be controlled.

"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."

"I am a repeat customer and this is not because their service suck, which is not. I am a repeat customer because they go over and beyond to fix our pest problems. Just recently, I called them to handle a rodent problem in one of our property and they again provided a courteous and quality pest control service that has sold us in the first place. Due to the complexity of the problem, they came several times to make sure they have completely removed the pests.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.

Silverfish can infest a bed, but it’s not likely unless you have a major infestation. Silverfish may be attracted to the fabric of the bed and the dark corners of the mattress, so you should check your bed thoroughly if you are seeing silverfish throughout the house. Seeing them in bed is a bad sign, because it means they are eating your cotton or silk sheets while they’re there.

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood. It’s a common misconception because many kinds of termites eat wood as well as live inside it. Carpenter ants, however, are omnivores and only chew into wood to create pathways and nests, discarding the chewed wood as frass which is a major indicator of a carpenter ant problem. They prefer to eat smaller insects, sweet things like spilled honey, and sources of protein like pet food.

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.

Whether dryer sheets can keep squirrels away is a bit of a mystery because the evidence is entirely anecdotal. Many households claim to have success with using dryer sheets for keeping squirrels away by placing them throughout their attics, yards, on a clothesline, and any other area where squirrels like to run through. Squirrels do not like strong scents, so if you try using dryer sheets, the ones with the strongest scent may be the most effective.
