"The best pest control service I have ever worked with. Mark is very knowledgeable and good attitude when talking/working with his customers. We hired him for coming to spray our rental house. We had pretty bad tenants who left the house with a lot of cockroach inside and out. We tried contacted some pest control services and all they said were: we dont work in the weekends, we need to see the house first before giving the prices.. blah.. blah.. Mark was so completely different. He, after one phone call with me, and it was on Saturday which normally his company was closed, he understood how frustrated the owner has felt when they saw cockroach, a lot, inside and outside their house.. And Mark was quickly got into his truck and came to see us right away in less than 30 minutes. I am very satisfied with the outstanding services that Mark, MSA Pest Control has provided. Trust me, you will not be regretted with your hiring decision when you consider working with MSA Pest Control. Finally, the best thing i like about MSA in general and with Mark personally, he cares for his customers happiness and satisfaction more than anything else. Thank you Mark."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether silverfish can fly, they can’t—they don’t have wings. Instead, they wriggle their bodies and move quickly in a fish-like motion, hence their name. Despite their speed, they are limited to crawling along floors, walls, and ceilings. Silverfish are known for their agility and ability to hide in small cracks and crevices, but they cannot jump or fly.

Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.

Start by searching online and asking friends and family. Some exterminators are more well-versed in moth removal than others, so peruse their website ahead of time, searching for mentions of moths. 

While on their website, look for any relevant licenses, certifications, and memberships to professional organizations. Also, look for liability insurance, as accidents happen when dealing with pesticides. Search for red flags by reading customer reviews online. Finally, give them a call to discuss the job.

Wasps don’t sleep in, but they are relatively inactive at night, sticking to the confines of the nest, in what’s known as a dormant state. Additionally, female wasps hibernate throughout the winter. That’s why evenings are the best time of the day to attack wasp nests.
