"Great Service We recently had this pest control company spray our house to help prevent ants, and we couldn’t be happier with the service! We’ve had a pretty bad ant problem during the spring and summer in the past, but they were quick to respond, knowledgeable, and did a great job treating our home. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and effective pest control!"

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

On average, fleas can leave for about 2 to 3 months in your carpet. However, if they have access to a host for feeding, they can return to the cozy carpet and live much longer. That’s why it’s essential to remove fleas from your carpet quickly before they take up permanent residence.

The best way to permanently get rid of skunks is by setting up deterrents around your property to keep skunks out. Get rid of skunks permanently by:

  • Not leaving food or water outside

  • Installing a motion-sensor sprinkler system

  • Installing fencing that’s at least 3 feet high and a foot deep

  • Adding motion-sensor lights in the yard

  • Cleaning up brush, sticks, woodpiles, and leaves on your property so skunks can’t use the materials for a nest

  • Seal up cracks and holes around your property to prevent skunks from building a den

  • Placing fresh lemon peels around the perimeter of your home

Termites can start causing damage within just a few weeks of settling in, and while the signs might not show up right away, they can hollow out drywall and structural wood within a few months. If left untreated for a year or more, the damage can be extensive and expensive.

Raccoons are primarily crepuscular and nocturnal, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and throughout the night. While less common, they may come out during the day to find food, especially in warm months or during the spring birthing season (April and May) when caring for their young. Seasonally, raccoons are active year-round and do not truly hibernate. However, during periods of severe cold, they will often remain in their dens for extended periods.

Notably, earwigs, centipedes, and spiders all enjoy a silverfish lunch. You can’t turn to natural predators to fix your silverfish problem: In fact, one issue with silverfish is that they can bring in unwanted earwigs into the house or cause a minor infestation of hungry spiders, so it’s important to get rid of them as soon as possible.
