"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."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

There are several things to consider before you hire a professional exterminator:

  • Do they have the proper licensing?

  • Are they experienced?

  • Do they use eco-friendly products?

  • Are their products pet safe?

These are questions to ask yourself when you’re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.

While the term “gnat” is often used as a blanket term for tiny flying insects like fungus gnats and fruit flies, they are different insects. The primary distinctions are in their appearance, diet, and habitat. Fungus gnats are typically darker (gray or black) with long legs and are attracted to damp soil and decaying plant matter, often living in houseplants. In contrast, fruit flies are lighter in color (tan) with shorter legs and are drawn to overripe fruit, high-fructose organic substances, and other sweet materials.

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.
