"Tom responded almost as soon as I found his business on Homeadvisor. We discussed my problem and he preliminarily set a date for the weekend after Thanksgiving, which was fine but pushed our departure back. Later that same day, he had an updated schedule and was able to come a week early which was great for us and he arrived a little early, did his inspection, we discussed options and hired him to do the job, which thankfully he was able to do then. He wrote up his report, submitted it, came back in from his vehicle and did the work in a very efficient and timely manner. We have hired him for regular, monthly pest control and inspections so we are very satisfied and thankful we met Tom (Pop's)."

Mary’s Pest Control Locally Run, Built on Trust Clark Pest Control was founded in 1940 and it was started by a World War II veteran the owner’s grandpa, the company soon became a thriving business with 26 locations that served residents as well as businesses throughout California and Northwestern Nevada. With that many locations, it became one of the largest pest control companies in the United States and one of the biggest in the West. The business was started by my family, for whom I worked my entire life. My father was an owner and a general manager of Clark south. However, they sold the business to a major corporation, and is no longer run by our family, so to carry on the tradition, I left the company to start Mary’s Pest Control. Our pest technicians will provide you with guidance on pest-proofing your home. Among the services we provide are the control of rats, mice, and other rodents, as well as bed bug control, termites, and mosquito control. We have been in this industry for as long as we can remember. Mary’s Pest Control is based on the principles our family has established since the inception of our business. With decades of knowledge and expertise, we have the top-of-the-line chemicals and equipment to treat and prevent any kind of infestation.

However, soon we sold our company. But our client’s loyalty motivated us to kick start the family business again, and we’re here to serve you once again. Same Vision, Better Solutions – Mary’s Pest Control.

It all started with a single employee back in 1992. There was just the owner, Josh Broughton, a truck, and a simple fumigation system. Back then only cockroach extermination services were available. But as the years added on, other forms of insects were added onto the roster. Next was termites, as that usually merits fast response from homeowners. Nowadays Father and Son Pest Control can take on any problem no matter what the species.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Vinegar can be an insect repellant, as many bugs find its scent off-putting. However, vinegar is acidic and may also cause damage to any plants it comes in contact with. If you'd like to use vinegar to deter pests in your garden, be careful not to spray it directly on the plant's leaves or stems.

It's also worth noting that vinegar's effects can be short. To continue to repel bugs, you'll need to spray vinegar repeatedly. 

Luckily, skunks aren’t challenging to get rid of. You can try to remove them slowly by filling their den entryway loosely with newspaper. Many skunks notice their den is in jeopardy and take off on their own. You can also try making a homemade spray of jalapeno pepper, yellow onion, and cayenne pepper—believe it or not, skunks are sensitive to these smells, so if you spray this around the den or in hard-to-reach places around your property, most skunks will take the hint and leave. 

Tree sap is not usually dangerous to humans or pets. But some trees do produce dangerous sap. Notably, ash, birch, cedar and similar saps can irritate the skin but aren’t dangerous. Sap from trees like the Brazilwood, Mahogany, Milky Mangrove or well-named Poison Walnut can be corrosive, cause nausea, or trigger those with asthma. But for most backyard trees, protective equipment like a sturdy pair of gloves should be fine.

Whether you should get rid of paper wasps depends on a few factors. If you are dealing with a large population and have household members or pets that are being stung frequently, it’s best to get rid of these wasps. But they aren’t all bad. Paper wasps feed on common garden pests, like caterpillars and beetle larva, that can harm your plants.

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.
