"Shane responded to my HomeAdvisor inquiry within minutes. He worked with me for an appointment time. He was here on time. He inspected my problem. And gave me the good news that there was no evidence (droppings) of the roof rats living in my roof. They can be controlled if we do a few things. When we offered to pay him , he said he did free inspections. No charge. He could have easily charged us for the time he spent. I would highly recommend Amaral Pest Control. Excellent service."

"Pest Busters is reliable and responsible, They eliminated my rodent problem under the house and in the attic. I then had them clean up the attic and remove all the old insulation and install new insulation. All the work was completed on schedule. I can count on Pest Busters to do an excellent job."

"I haven't yet hired AET for the actual control process. Eric came over for consultation and inspection and gave me a friendly and excellent analysis about time and money involved in a way that is aligned with my financial condition and lifestyle. I would definitely recommend a AET inspection and subsequent action to anyone who is suspicious of possible infestation in their apartments/houses."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

No, you should never vacuum or sweep up mouse or rat droppings, as doing so can release harmful particles into the air and increase your risk of disease exposure. Instead, wear gloves and a mask, spray the droppings with a disinfectant spray, let it soak for a few minutes, and then carefully wipe them up with paper towels. Afterward, disinfect the area thoroughly and immediately wash your hands when you’re done.

Stink bugs don't build nests, but they do like to hang around out of sight. They typically hide in cracks, crevices, and tight spaces within buildings, especially during the colder months. They are often found in attics, crawl spaces, and along walls or ceilings. To find them, give these areas a detailed inspection, particularly around windows, doors, and vents.

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

Although raccoons aren’t particularly picky regarding food, certain sounds, metals, and smells bother them. You can place these items around your home to keep raccoons away:

  • Place wire mesh screens around and underneath decks and porches to prevent raccoons from nesting. 

  • Put metal sheeting around the edges of your roof or at the base of trees to deter raccoons from coming close. 

  • Place a loud battery-operated radio near the raccoon’s den to keep them from nesting.

  • Keep a bowl of cider vinegar on your deck or porch.

  • Remove old raccoon scents by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting underneath porches and decks.

Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to Pennsylvania State University, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren’t scientifically proven effective.
