"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.

"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

The best hornet repellent includes a variety of essential oils such as peppermint, clove, geranium, and lemongrass, all of which have a pungent smell that hornets can’t stand. 

There are many steps you can take to keep mice out of your home. The most preventative include removing all available food sources, keeping your home clean, and sealing up entry points to your home. You can also try using live traps or even getting a cat. If none of these measures work, enlist the help of a pest control company.

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.

You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.

The time it will take to see results from a professional exterminator can vary depending on the type of treatment and the severity of the infestation. You may notice a reduction of ants within a few days, but it can take weeks to months for the treatment to take full effect and kill the entire colony of ants. Make sure to discuss what results you can expect with your exterminator and any post-infestation cleaning you should do after the treatment.
