"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!"

"I am employed by a property management company. When tenants bring in unwanted pest, it's imperative we get rid of them quickly. Rob, our Pestquito Tech and Lindsey our account manager make it their mission to kill! We had a larger more reputable company before, but they couldn't get the job done. Rob and Lindsey get it done! They are very careful to keep the roaches from spreading to other units. They also take care of other pest and they aren't afraid to get dirty. The tenants are grateful and so am I. I highly recommend Pesquito. Thank you Pestquito. Job well done!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Deer rely on scent to tell them what’s safe and unsafe, so effective deer repellents have to be pungent. Make your own natural repellent by combining a beaten egg, one tablespoon of cooking oil, one tablespoon of dish soap, and a half cup of milk. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray around your garden, avoiding anything you will want to eat later. This stinky repellent will ward off any deer that want to make your produce their next meal. But keep in mind that if your windows are nearby, the scent may waft over.

Besides checking your pet’s fur, you can use two other tests to find fleas in your home: the white sock test and the water and lamp test.

To perform the white sock test, simply put on a pair of long white socks and drag your feet along the carpets in your home. Fleas will gravitate to the heat created by your socks. The water and lamp test involves placing a bowl of water on the floor and shining a light over it. Fleas will then be attracted to the light and land in the bowl of water.

The safest ways to treat bed bugs are non-chemical, such as using diatomaceous earth, essential oils, and heat and cold treatments. Heat treatments are also one of the most effective methods because it kills bed bugs at all levels of life stages: eggs, nymphs, and adults. However, you still need to take precautions by removing items that can be susceptible to heat damage. You also need to remove plants and pets from your home during treatment.

Various mites can cause health problems for people and pets, such as allergies, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. Some mites, like scabies and chiggers, can transmit diseases or bacterial infections. Other types, such as dust, mold, and spider mites, also pose risks. Spider mites, for example, can quickly spread to and damage houseplants. It is best to eradicate any type of mite from your home and seek medical care if you experience symptoms.

The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.
