"I had a bad fruit fly problem in my kitchen for over a month, they were increasing faster than I could rid them. Home remedies like apple cider vinegar helped reduce them, but I couldn?t fully get rid of the problem. Finally I decided to call a pest company. Found Lady Bug Pest Control, gave them a call, along with another local company (they didn't call me back), but Lady Bug answered when I called. They were able to come out the next afternoon. The tech who came out told me allll about fruit flies, which was appreciated so I know how to avoid them in the future. He treated my kitchen in about 5 mins. The flies were completely gone in about two days. Him and the company were very professional, knowledgeable, and provided effective service. Highly recommend. Ps. I tried those plug in light stick traps from Target, it didn't catch a SINGLE fly after 5 days of being plugged in. Hope this review helps someone!"

I remove nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, armadillos, rodents, etc. humanly from homes and properties. I have lower prices than the larger companies along with better service. I have 20 years experience working with wildlife. Inspection of your home, roof or property is free of charge.

"I waited many weeks to post this, to make sure I didn't post out of anger. I've used Blake for many yrs. Il've literally paid him thousands. I am posting our last correspondence. Blake didn't inform me that he didn't have his cameras until AFTER I agreed to quote and AFTER he was finished for the day. That concerned me, as he usually has them up for a few days, sometimes a wk, to make sure squirrels are allout. He came back 2 days later and closed the holes. *pictured are his 'fix'. After a few days of concern, I called to ask about the $550 charge without cameras. He stated, "that's what I charge". I said that was ok. If he felt it was fair, I'd respectfully accept it. In less than 3 wks, another hole was made. When I let him know, I was shocked at his response. I own my own business, and wouldn't still be here after 26yrs if I treated clients this way. Anyway. did some research and found how easy (and inexpensive!) To get your own materials and do it yourself! (' help others on how, if you'd like to know). I didn't realize that he had been happily patching rotten wood, to ensure himself continues business. Blake seems very nice and soft spoken, Beware."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Cinnamon's warm scent appeals to many people but not to many bugs. The spice contains eugenol, which also happens to be used in insecticides. While the level of eugenol in cinnamon isn't enough to eliminate bugs on its own, the scent can be strong enough to keep them away. 

You can try sprinkling cinnamon around areas where you've seen insects, such as ants and mosquitos. Remember that you'll have to reapply frequently, especially after periods of rain.

In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.

There's anecdotal evidence that apple cider vinegar does help to repel mice. But the best way to repel mice is to keep your home scrupulously clean and seal up any obvious entry points. If you already have a mouse infestation, apple cider vinegar won’t get rid of the critters. It’s usually worth the cost of professional pest control to make sure a serious mouse problem is eradicated completely.

Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.

Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.
