Technician Steven was on-time and listen to my concerns. I have a large home and my backyard has lots of spiders and ants that needs regular maintenance.
Steven removed all cobwebs which our previous pest control company would never do. Our yard is mostly concrete with a pool. Steven arrived with a truck mounted sprayed and he did a great job at spraying the entire perimeter of the house including where all cements join together as that is the gateway for ants.
I watched and everything he said he would do he did and more.
I purchased the bi-monthly deal and this is our first treatment. Time will how well things work out or not, but so far and at the start everything went great and am happy to 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.
"Very good customer service from the office staff, they are very quick to return your phone call and follow up when you need help. I recommend them to anyone who wants a reliable pest control company to take care of their home."
"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. "
"John was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and reliable. Exactly the type of company that you want and need when you have a pest problem. I would highly recommend ProTex Pest and Termite to anyone and everyone. Will absolutely be using them again and recommending to my friends and family!"
"Fighting against termite is a progressive battle and in every battle we have won. It is all thanks to Kilter. The team were always on spot in treating our home and service is handled professional. I haven?t seen a single termite or bug ever since Kilter became our regular pest control company. Thanks! Hope our relationships remains the same way. "
"Using Castle Termite Control was such a positive experience! It's incredibly hard to find trustworthy people to come to your home, especially as you're stressed about having termites!
I am incredibly thankful that they were kind, punctual and thorough. The work was completed as stated and I feel like they went above and beyond. While termites can show up whenever they want to, I am happy to report that we have not had a reoccurance so far. Thanks again to Castle Termite Control!"
"Amen Pest Control did a fantastic Job. They inspected my property in a professional manner, found that my termite problem was isolated and addressed the issue at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend them!"
"I called the exterminator who had done the previous work, and unfortunately found that he had passed away in the interim and another company had taken over his business. They came out and inspected and gave me an estimate for the work. I then called Hi Tech for a second estimate based on their recommendation in A.L. and their proximity to my house. Hi Tech did a complete home inspection and their recommendation was considerably different from the other company and half the cost. They proposed injecting a localized pesticide and microwaving, and they said that removing sheet rock and sub-flooring (as recommended by the other company) would be unnecessary given the age of the infestation, the age of the construction, and the type of pesticide that they would use. They explained that the pesticide that they were using would not be detected by the termites, so the ones that survived the microwaving would continue to eat the wood and then take the pesticide back to the queen and other members of the colony eventually killing them. They backed up their work with 3-years of annual inspections and a warranty that covered any future evidence of termites anywhere in the house. All the work was completed in a little over a half a day. The technician, Jason, was prompt, courteous (a quality shared by the entire staff that we dealt with at Hi Tech from the receptionist to the inspector), and informative. He worked at a steady pace, laid out clean canvas tarps to protect our carpets, and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was completed, and sprayed both the attic and crawl space with Timbor to repel future termites. In time we'll see if they were able to truly eradicate all the termites, but for now I can say that it was very satisfying to deal with such a professional company. Highly recommended!"
Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.
Scorpions can climb walls with rough surfaces (like stucco siding). They need something to grip onto, which is why they can easily climb on clothes, comforters on beds, and other items in your home.
However, it’s worth noting that scorpions cannot climb clean glass. So if you have a hole or damaged area where scorpions are coming in, a temporary fix may be to secure a piece of glass over the area.
Mud tubes, wood damage, and swarming are typical indicators.
Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts.
The Colorado State University Extension suggests there’s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.
Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective.
