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.
"I highly recommend the No-Nonsense Termite Company to get rid of termite and/or other insect and rodent problems that you may have in your home. They're very efficient and their prices are very reasonable. Excellent customer service."
"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. "
"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!"
"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!"
A rodent infestation often has a distinctive, unpleasant smell. The most common odor is a strong, musky scent, similar to stale ammonia, which comes from mouse urine. As the infestation grows, the smell can become more intense. You might also notice a foul, decomposing odor if mice or rats die inside the walls or hidden areas. This combination of smells is a clear sign of a rodent problem and should prompt immediate action to address the infestation.
Not usually. Most pest control will offer one-off services without the need to sign a contract. However, for especially large projects, or treatments that will involve additional trips for months into the future, pest control companies may require you to sign a contract.
Aside from a warm, cozy place to curl up, you might wonder what attracts mice to your home. Several items attract mice, including: Birdseed Pet food Water Cereal and whole grains Food scraps from the composting bin Open trash cans High-fat and high-sugar foods Unused cars—they make great homes for chilly mice Insulation in the attic Clutter Brush from your yard, including leaves, sticks, wood, and shrubs (so mice can make nests) Overgrown trees or bushes—mice love to leap from branches onto the roof Indoor nesting materials, including cloth, paper, tissues, and toilet paper Tiny cracks in the siding or foundation
Squash bugs only see one generation per year, but that doesn’t mean they won’t return. These persistent pests overwinter in garden debris, under leaves, and in nearby structures, emerging in the spring ready to start the cycle again. Without proper cleanup and preventative measures, you can expect squash bugs to come back each growing season, especially if you’ve had issues with them in the past.
The best hornet repellent includes a variety of essential oils such as peppermint, clove, geranium, and lemongrass, all of which have a pungent smell that hornets can’t stand.
