I got into the cleaning business about six years ago as a summer job. It then grew to a full a full time job and the eventual take over of this company. From there I started taking certified courses in the proper care of carpets and upholstery. I became a member of the Better Business Bureau to portray the quality of my work. I am constantly looking for enhanced chemicals and solutions that clean better and that are EPA approved for the environment. Because of my three boys and our Black Lab, Macy, I understand that life happens in a home. I know how to restore your carpets and upholstery back to a like new condition.

"I will always hire Terminix for any pest control that I might need. Sean called and told me that they don't handle my specific issue -- moles. He informed that I needed to go buy some Chase at the local hardware store & take care of it myself with a fertilizer spreader. As it turned out, I not only handled my own issue in about 1/2 hour, but I spent only $25 for the product and hand spreader vs. The $175 and $225 estimates I received from the other folks. Oh, and the moles are no longer living in my yard. Thanks, Terminix, and I'm referring you to everyone I know!!!"
"I have a contract with them so I have to use them again. It pays for itself eventually if you get good repair people. You don't control who they send."
You can use a homemade spray to kill fleas on a mattress. To make the spray, combine equal parts water and distilled white vinegar. Spray the mixture on the fleas and all over the mattress. Follow this up with a generous sprinkle of salt all over the mattress, and let it sit overnight. Finally, vacuum the mattress to clean up the salt, dead fleas, and flea offspring.
No, mice do not become rats. While their similarities may make them appear to be the same animal at first, they are distinct in their appearance, behaviors, and the strategies used to remove them. Juvenile rats that have not reached their full adult size may be roughly the same size as mice, making them hard to tell apart.
It is highly unlikely that fleas will go away on their own without treatment. Female fleas can lay dozens of eggs per day—up to 50—causing their numbers to multiply quickly and spread throughout your home. An adult flea can live for around 100 days or even up to a year as long as it has access to a host, such as a pet or human. Even without a host to feed on, fleas can survive for weeks. Because of their rapid reproduction and resilience, it's best to tackle a flea problem as soon as possible. Hiring an exterminator is recommended to prevent the infestation from worsening.
The signs of a bed bug infestation include itchy, red bite marks on the skin and various forms of physical evidence on or near your bed. Look for reddish or rust-colored stains on sheets from crushed bed bugs, as well as small, dark fecal droppings. You might also find the bugs themselves, their tiny eggs, or the pale, molted skins (casings) they leave behind. In some cases, a persistent musty odor may be present. If you notice any of these signs, calling a professional exterminator is the most effective way to handle the infestation.
It is a myth that smashing a stink bug attracts more stink bugs. According to the National Pesticide Information Center, killing a stink bug will not attract more of them. They are able to secrete a pheromone that attracts other bugs, but they will only release their alarm pheromone when they’re squished—which won’t attract more bugs.
