"Iâ m a very picky property manager; frugal but withnletfectionistic tendencies. So many people for hire seem to be either grossly expensive or completely unreliable/incompetent. I shopped around for help removing squirrels in my attic crawl space. Hearing people over formalize the situation as they led me up to huge bills or suggested ongoing prices to make sure the problems was solved was stressful/disappointing. However when Matt the owner called me, he immediately seemed more frank and forthright. He tuned in to my situation and brought up questions showing his level of expertise that placed far more expensive did not think to ask. He was available, ready, and patient. When he came, he was professional and thorough, quick. I was very very happy with Bearclaw Wildlife and with Matt in particular. I definitely will refer back to him with any pest or wildlife issues at my properties. Nice to see a person take pride in their work and their companyâ s name. Keep up the excellence Matt! Thank you!"

"Was very prompt to set traps to address my mole problem. Two moles were caught. He said he would return to set some more traps but I have not seen any new traps set. He said to call him if I see any more damage. I would have liked to have had a little more feedback from Doug."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood. It’s a common misconception because many kinds of termites eat wood as well as live inside it. Carpenter ants, however, are omnivores and only chew into wood to create pathways and nests, discarding the chewed wood as frass which is a major indicator of a carpenter ant problem. They prefer to eat smaller insects, sweet things like spilled honey, and sources of protein like pet food.

While taking a shower can help wash away fleas and their dirt from your body, it may not completely get rid of all of them. However, if you wash your clothes and bedding in hot water and dry them on the highest heat recommended for the fabric, it can further reduce the possibility of an infestation. However, even if just a few are left, they can reproduce and take over again, so it’s best to take additional measures and call a flea exterminator to ensure they’re gone for good.

While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans. 

Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.

While it may cost more to hire an exterminator than trying to treat the problem yourself, a professional is worth hiring if you have a major infestation. If the problem is severe and the ants are causing damage to your home, then DIY methods may not be as effective as a professional treatment. Plus, if you have carpenter or fire ants it’s best not to risk the damage they can cause to your home.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.
