"George, the owner, was very helpful and professional. Angel, the man who did the work, was competent, thorough, professional, and did an A+ job. Besides setting out traps and coming for 5 weeks to check the traps, he rodent proofed my home and did an excellent job. I would use this company again and highly recommend them."
"A yard worker walking on the small hill near the sidewalk in front of our house stepped in a yellow jacket nest we didn't know was there. These pests are mean suckers. Another worker who was close by was bitten twice by these pests and they buzzed around him as he ran up our 42 front stairs. (He's OK and was not bitten again.) We'd used Eloy's services once before to remove a yellow jacket nest half-way up our steep front hill and were so impressed by his work that we called him right away and he showed up less than 2 hours later to remove the nest. He warned us there could be some cosmetic damage but we told him we didn't care. And it turned out that the white coated hole he left is a barely visible disruption to the patch of ivy and is actually consoling to see as proof the pests are gone. We've used some great contractors from Angie's list but Eloy is the best of the best: price, quality, pride in his work, punctuality, integrity, personableness?. Recently we recommended him to a friend who used his services and who was equally impressed. And not motivated just by money but more by building his business and doing a great job, Eloy stopped by a few months ago to advise us on a potential yellow jacket problem near our back yard barbecue and he didn't charge us for that visit. And this time he advised us to put up some yellow jacket traps to gauge the extent of the problem in the back yard. We bought a trap at Home Depot and hung it last night and this morning there were 15 dead yellow jackets inside. We'll be contacting Eloy again soon to see if thinks we need to hire him for his undetected nest removal service where he hangs containers with a poison that the yellow jackets bring back to their nests. We trust Eloy to let us know if we should use his services for this or try to handle it ourselves.
"Overall it went much better than I thought it could have after I saw swarmer's (lots of them) coming out of our home. I thought for sure that I was going to have to tent, but after getting a couple of inspections done. I decided to go with No-Nonsense Termite because they convinced me that tenting wasn't necessary (Thank God) and that my infestation could be controlled with basically non-toxic chemicals. I've yet to see any signs of termite since their treatment, and I check regularly. I signed up for their home protection plan so if I do need them again I'm covered."
"I contacted Mr. Sorensen through Angie's List yesterday. Now today, the very next day, he has already come and removed the wasps nests. He is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend him. "

"AMEN Pest Control has successfully controlled all of my pest problems by identifying the source of the problem and coming up with a treatment solution to keep pests under control. The rodents were because I had added an upper deck and changed the roof line. The trees were close enough to the house that tree rats were jumping onto my roof and burrowing into the attic. An ant colony caused the ant problem in my backyard. When we tented for termites, everyone in CA has to at one time or another, they included an ant treatment because they knew ants arrive to eat the termite carcasses. My mosquito problem was because of my pond and besides the added mosquito fish, they suggested a hanging mosquito repellent that controlled the mosquitos. AMEN Pest Control is the best!"
"We were impressed with Hi-Tech Termite Control from start to finish. We had 3 estimates for termite treatment for our home. All 3 reported the same thing - subterranean termites - yet Hi-Tech seemed to offer the best deal. Their price was the least expensive, yet they were the only ones who guaranteed their work for 3 years, to include 3 yearly inspections following the date of service. Of course, any evidence of termites during this period would be eradicated by them at no cost. Great peace of mind. They were timely and professional in all interactions. So far, we are quite impressed and would definitely use them again. "
"Robert was very knowledgeable about flea investation. He called to checked up on the situation. I highly recommend him to help with any pest control."
You should not squish a roach because it can spread disease, attract more roaches, and release allergens. Roaches feed on the bodies of dead roaches, making more of them come. Squashing an individual roach only kills that one, whereas boric acid powder or baking soda can kill an entire population because it travels back to the nest before dying.
In addition to a clean home, fleas dislike oils made from plants that are naturally bug-resistant or poisonous to bugs. That includes myrtle, mint, eucalyptus, and especially cedar oil. Common household remedies like baking soda, garlic and apple vinegar don’t have any effect on fleas. Don’t spray essential oils directly on your own skin or your pets (and their bedding, because it can be a skin irritant. Stay away from tea tree oil. In pure form it can be very toxic to pets. Always ask your vet if you have any questions.

Finally, check the company’s contract carefully for things like guarantees, discounts for multiple treatments, and liability insurance.
If you find bed bugs on your mattress, your first step is to put your sheets, pillowcases, pillows, and nearby linens into a trash bag and wash them in hot water. Then, vacuum your mattress and the rest of your bedroom, paying special attention to the mattress seams and crevices near your headboard. Next, use one (or more) of the solutions listed above to kill any live bugs, or call an exterminator for a professional treatment.
Termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles can move from wood furniture to other areas of your home. If you notice signs of bugs in wood furniture, it's best to remove and isolate it for treatment. Remember that it can be difficult to identify which type of pest you are dealing with, and they can already be in areas of your home.
If DIY methods don’t work or you don’t know which pest it is you should contact an exterminator if you are showing signs of wood-eating pests to prevent further damage.
