"Our family heard something crawling in our attic and we started to notice droppings and we knew we had a few unwanted rodents that moved in our attic. We immediately contacted a pest control service which was Wise Pest Control. Our family highly recommends this company, they were extremely knowledgeable and their whole team was extremely friendly and helpful . They quickly got rid of our rodent problem, removed all the old insulation, disinfected the entire attic and installed new insulation. Believe me this company went above and beyond our expectations, wow what a great team you guys have. Thank you all for everything we greatly appreciate the great job you all done."

"Pest N Tent did an excellent job with tenting our house. Dusti came to our house, looked around and gave us a quote. She explained everything and told us about a video we could look at. She provided bags for the food to go in. We just used them for the freezer food. They arrived on time. They were doing our neighbor's house also. They were very professional and respectful of the property. We would highly recommend them."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals.

One of the most widespread chemicals used for killing termites is Fipronil. It’s one of the most common insecticides used by termite exterminators to kill termites fast. However, it’s toxic and generally used in outdoor areas only. Popular brand names of termite killers include Taurus, Bifen, Termidor, and BioAdvanced. All insecticides have pros and cons: Some are safer around humans but don’t last as long. Some may kill nearby plants or have power odors. Some are designed for safe indoor bait stations but take much longer to work.

The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:

  • Peppermint oil

  • Eucalyptus oil

  • Cinnamon

  • Vinegar

  • Cedarwood 

  • Cloves

  • Garlic

  • Chili oil/powder

  • Cayenne pepper

Citrus scents such as lemon or lime are lethal to bed bugs. They’re drawn to the smell, but the chemicals often kill them. There are other ways to kill bed bugs without an exterminator, including using steam, DIY heat treatments, essential oils, diatomaceous earth, and more. However, you should hire a professional bed bug exterminator to eliminate large numbers of bed bugs.

Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.
