"I was in desperate need of some help and answers to my pest problems. This was the first & only Pro that contacted me. While I didn't technically hire them, they were very professional and responded quickly to my project request. The project was quoted at $200, but I was only charged $50 for a down payment and inspection. While I may still be baffled at how I got a small invasion of pesky flies, the Pro was excellent at communicating with me and still offered their services in my time of need."

"The owner of Ratting and Rodents and his employees are very much a professional when it comes to explaining, researching, and having plenty of suggestions for me that I could do with my home and very patient with me regarding my questions. Cesar has so much passion when it came to finalizing my very terrible yet very serious rat and rodent infestation. Sterilization was most important for me. All my concerns were taken care of by Cesar immediately and with future appointments that are coming up in the near future. They offer a free inspection and are open 24 hour emergency service calls. We were very happy with the scope of service provided, pricing and would highly recommend. Cesar thank you again for your epic customer service and professionalism! I have recommended him and Ratting on Rodents to my neighbors and when asked by others. Thank you Ratting and Rodents!"

"California Pest Defense were quick to contact me and organize for someone to come round to inspect the issue. They explained over the phone that the inspection was free, but that any extermination cost (if necessary), would be agreed between myself and the technician. Thankfully, whatever my husband had sprayed to deter the wasps from setting up a nest behind our gutters had worked, as the technician confirmed that there were no active wasps there. The technician told me about the bi-monthly pest control service that they offer, so we will be looking into that."

"He was very thorough but said he found termite evidence in the attic that could be treated at a hefty price. I'm getting a second opinion on this. After the second opinion from my regular exterminator I found they were a lot higher price."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

A solution of vinegar and water can deter moles, but be careful about the strength of the solution. Too much vinegar can dry out and kill grass or other plants when distributed too frequently.

Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.

Not likely. While the occasional spotted lanternfly insect may find its way in, it’s highly unlikely that spotted lanternflies will lay eggs and eventually infest your home because they prefer to live outdoors. If you’re concerned about the bugs getting inside, be sure to examine all humans, objects, and pets before bringing them indoors.

While cats are great at rodent control, it is their second nature to use the soft dirt of your garden as a litter box. This can lead to the contamination of your food and the spread of disease in humans.

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.
