"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."

"Rick provided excellent pest control service after we discovered a mouse in the house. He conducted a thorough inspection, identified vulnerabilities in the exterior, and recommended effective improvements. He installed everything needed to secure our home and was extremely knowledgeable throughout the process. Would definitely hire him again!"

We have been lucky to have Raul Gonzalez as our exterminator over the years and would highly recommend his work. Not only are all issues handled quickly and well, but Raul also is full of information and insight on how to best keep our establishment free from pests."

"The Terminix people were easy to work with and did a great job. The sub contractor hired, Amtech Wildlife Management, got rid of my bat problem but charged $5,800 for less than total of 8 hrs work. I was at least able to talk him doen to $5,000. The materials used were about 4ft of 3ft wide blk fiberglas window screen, 4 cans of expanding foam, and gorrilla tape (duct Tape)-- all of which I sell down at the hardware store. And a spray repellent that last for about two weeks. This is what I got for $633 an hour!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Both insects can damage wood, but there are key differences between termites and carpenter ants that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.

As with anything ingested by animals, there is always a chance that mushrooms will be toxic. Clearing the tops of mushrooms from the soil to prevent them from being eaten by pets is always a good idea. Since poisonous mushrooms can be deadly, we recommended that any mushroom ingestion is treated as a veterinary emergency. Watch for signs of lethargy and digestive distress in any animal suspected to have eaten a mushroom and contact your vet immediately.

When looking for natural roach repellent options, citrus, bay leaves, cucumber, garlic, and catnip may all help to keep cockroaches away. When an infestation requires a bigger intervention, boric acid, baking soda, diatomaceous earth (DE), and soap mixed with water are all considered natural and nontoxic roach treatments.

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.
