"June of 2013 I bought a 1926 home that had been inhabited by an elderly person who wasn't able to do much maintenance or cleaning allowing the silverfish and spider populations to thrive.  During the renovation prior to moving in I was killing about 5-7 spiders a night including one I thought was a brown recluse.  I was a wreck after that and too scared to move in. I called Diam in a panic and they sent out Jason the next day. 
Jason did an excellent job of inspecting my property inside and out and explaining the habits of brown recluses and their distinct web style.  He did notice a lot of cellar spiders but assured me that he didn't see any brown recluse webs. He put down traps in likely spider traffic areas and said he would come back in 30 days to inspect the traps to see which types of spiders were present just to make sure.  He sprayed quite liberally around my exterior foundation and all around the house and walk in attic area and told me to call them before the 30 days if I was still having problems and advised that I download their free Diam Pest app on my smart phone so I could send them pictures of any weird spiders or other pests.  I felt so much better after his visit that I was able to move in.
He came back 30 days later to do a follow up spray and trap check. Traps contained a couple varieties of cellar spiders but no brown recluses. I also noticed a signifcant reduction of spiders. After the 1 month followup spray there were none. This exceeded my expectations as all the research I did online in old house forums said that spiders were difficult to control.  I was so pleased I decided to go on a quarterly contract.  Since then I have had two maintenance treatments at $89 a pop and I haven't seen a spider in the house in months. Worth every penny!
I really appreciate that they send reminders and follow up calls to confirm the quarterly maintenance appointment. I also like that they send the same representative to my house each time.

"The Critter Control Company was easy to reach (a live person!) and arrived promptly for the appointment. Their representative, Tom Mendicino, was professional in every way. Tom gave me a far better understanding about invasive animals and also demonstrated great compassion for the critters that he deals with. Tom gave me a kill or no kill option on the squirrels, which made the choice to hire him easier. 
Removing the squirrels was no small task and took a couple of weeks. I believe a total of 4-6 squirrels were trapped and removed. Tom then did a first rate job in patching the holes and used a more rodent resistant material. He did a few extras too, at no additional cost. Our home is over 100 years old and has many issues, for anyone who works on it. Tom never complained, always explained every detail and answered all questions that I had. He demonstrated a great attitude as well. Whenever there was a need to call him, he almost always
answered his phone immediately! I would gladly have Tom Mendicino back if I ever need this type of work done again. In addition to the squirrel abatement, Tom did a bat check on my house and attic. He did not charge extra for this. 
I had the pleasure of speaking to the office people at Critter Control as well after the initial appointment. I found them to very accommodating and professional. This is a first rate company and I would highly recommend them.

"Fenix was great to work with. They came when they said. They asked questions and listened for answers. They did their own assessment of my home and the potential issues. They were great to work with. The tech that came to our house was great and very professional."

"We called Hawkeye Exterminators to help with a maggot infestation resulting from a dead animal on the roof of our home. The animal had been removed for a few days but the problem persisted, which is quite usettling and gross! Before I searched Angie's List for Pest Control I had contacted a chain company for animal control but did not think I was on the right track. Mr. Rhinehart answered my initial call directly and scheduled me the same day. He surveyed the roof area involved and identified the source of our ongoing concern, cleaning away and spraying accordingly. After the more acute problem was addressed, at our request he made a more routine application to the exterior of our home for spiders. We appreciate the professional, courteous and timely service - we will depend on this company for future needs.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there’s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add pollinator plants and habitats to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.

If rats found a spot they liked to build a nest, then it’s possible more rats will show up or return to that same spot. That’s why it’s important to close off any access points rats may be using to get inside your home.

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

Spiders have lots of scent-sensitive hairs on their legs. Scented oils they aren’t fans of can act as a natural spider repellent to help keep their populations at bay when you rub them around your home’s entry points. Studies suggest mint and chestnut oils are two scents that spiders hate.

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

  • Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor

  • Proper animal identification

  • Written management plan with follow-up visits included

  • Humane removal techniques

  • Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.
