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."
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.
While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans.
Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.
For a non-chemical bed bug treatment, you can try spraying your mattress with a mixture of essential oils, rubbing alcohol, and water. Pesticide sprays are available, but using them can pose potential health risks to humans and pets—especially if they are not applied correctly. If non-chemicals do not eradicate your bed bug infestation, you should consult a pest control specialist to determine the best course of action.
Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you’ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them.
Most bugs that get into and reside inside our homes are harmless. However, you should address the presence of harmful ones, such as bed bugs, roaches, or termites, that can harm you and your home. Additionally, if you notice a significant increase in bug sightings of any kind, it's a good time to perform a home inspection, looking for water or structural damage that could be inviting them in.
