Q: Can I do pest control myself?

• <div><p>There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.</p></div>

Q: How effective are bird repellents?

• <div><p>Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.</p></div>

Q: What colors do hornets hate?

• <div><p>Hornets are attracted to bright colors that look like flowers, including purple, pink, white, green, and yellow. They are least attracted to dark colors, such as blue and black. </p></div>

Q: How often should mosquito fogging be done?

• <div><p>Mosquito fogging should be done every two days during the first week of treatment. This level of frequency helps to interrupt the mosquito breeding cycle and prevent them from laying eggs in your yard. After the first week, mosquito fogging can be reduced to a schedule of once a week.</p></div>

Q: How long do pest control treatments last?

• <div><p>The longevity of pest control treatment depends on the treatments and the type of pest. Pest control services for serious infestations can last 3 to 6 months. Some treatments are more or less permanent if the pro fixes how pests were entering the home. Other treatments, like sprayed barriers or bait traps, are designed to last for anywhere from 30 days to several months. Pest control often offers to re-apply treatments like this to ensure full eradication and discourage new infestations. </p></div>

Rob was professional and quick. Went to work and was done quickly. He'll be coming back on a regular basis. Less expensive than the "name brand" bug control company.

There isn't that I don't like. I called multiple companies that said they couldn't do anything for me. They came right out and used pet safe products and have really helped me out.

They came on time and solved the problem quickly and completely. When he came back a month later he did not charge me because the nest was quite old. He did spray just to make sure. I was impressed with his promptness and professionalism.

Great. They got me on their schedule fairly quickly; the young man who came to the house was very personable and professional, and pretty thorough. When I had a question about the bill, the owner got back to me right away. The price was definitely comparable to other companies. I will stick with...

It was fine. We’ve been using them for just over a year now. What I like about them that I keep using them is that it works and it’s affordable. They call and remind me if it’s time and setup an appointment for the next week.

The man that came was great. He explained everything to m and answered all of my questions. He joked and teased my little girls (5 and 3) as they followed him around the entire time he was there.

They came in, we went over everything. I had to be gone for 4 hours, took care of everything! No fleas, no insects, and crickets don't come into the house any longer. Best thing I could have done. Highly recommend!
