"Discovered a colony of termites in our garage, started calling different companies on a Saturday afternoon. The first 5 companies didn't have much to say, either because it had an answering service or the person was just an admin. Called Advantage and the owner actually answered and provided information on termites and what can be done. Had them come out and do an evaluation and then the following week they came out and did the work. Excellent knowledge and excellent work. Very good folks, great experience!"

With over 100 years in business, we are earning your trust. Founded in 1915, Plunkett’s Pest Control is a family-owned & operated company with third-generation ownership. Plunkett’s delivers professional pest control services to residential and commercial clients in 20 states and growing. Our entire staff is knowledgeable, trustworthy, resourceful, and passionate about preventing & solving pest concerns for our clients and safeguarding the communities we call home.

"100% would recommend Mica from Plunkett’s to deal with your cockroach issues. We had roaches off and on for many months, despite a good cleaning regime etc., and eventually realized other units in our shared building had the same issues. Mica quickly and precisely diagnosed the source of the issue, was real with us about time and possible costs, worked with us in coordinating multiple units, patiently answered all questions, and in the end helped my neighbors and I deal with this extremely persistent issue in a relatively short time frame. He approached treatment with a lot of care and thought, in particular listening and adjusting for our concerns re: safety of our young toddler. This was a big one for us! Plunkett’s was a bit more expensive than some other pest control companies we looked at, but neighbors had already tried multiple other services and it never got rid of the issue. In the end, it was probably cheaper than multiple ineffective treatments, but more importantly we haven’t seen a roach in several months."

We are a family owned pest control company that is in our third generation of serving the St. Louis area. We have been protecting homes and businesses in St. Louis since 1959. We have 3 offices in the area in St. Peters, Ballwin, and Fenton.

"Just wanted to share my experience w/ Blue Chip Pest Control. My 6 month old puppy got into their rat poison box in my back yard which they assured me would never happen. They said he could never get into it and that the poison would never hurt him because of his size. (About 50lbs. at the time). He couldn’t stop vomiting and was pooping blood. My girlfriend took him straight to the Vet where they treated him with vitamin K and some nausea stuff for his stomach. I have been a customer for over 10 yrs. and when I called to notify them they told me that wasn’t possible like I made it up. All I asked from them was to please pay the approx. $400 Vet bill. We went back and forth for several months finding it very difficult to get ahold of them most times. Finally they asked me to get something in writing from my Vet which I did and they still would not respond for over a month. I then threatened to leave a bad review and within an hr. they responded offering to credit my account for the Vet bill. That would have been great if they’d have did that in the beginning, but after all the grief all I really wanted was to get reimbursed so I could take my business elsewhere. I know the ownership changed recently but that is no way to treat a long term customer. I will never use them again and if asked, will def. urge others to use someone else!"

When Paul and Leo Lugge opened the doors in 1959 they had only four employees and a vision for their company. Today, because of a dedication to quality service, BELOMAN is the market leader in the Madison, St. Clair, and Monroe county area. It was this early vision and hard work of Paul Lugge, and now his son Jim, that has made BELOMAN the most trusted name in home comfort. Jim Lugge has continued with the growth of this company by introducing BEL-O “THE” Plumber. Now known, in the industry, for quality and customer satisfaction in the HVAC, plumbing, indoor air quality and sheet metal industries. Today, BELOMAN is over ninety employees strong and strives to stay the leader in the Metro East communities.

"They did an excellent job doing the repairs on my gas replacing in the house. And nay concerns I had about repairs done wrong by them. They have rectified it already."

In business since 1933, Locally owned and operated. Guaranteed Termite and Pest Control Service. Authorized users of The Sentricon Colony Elimination System. Members of the National Pest Management Association, MO Pest Management Association, and The Greater St. Louis Pest Control Association.

"They installed this system more than five ??? years ago. In recent years I am not aware of any technician services although I am billed $260 yearly. I never have any evidence of any visits. I am home most of the time & never see their truck, or get a knock on my door. The leaves around the devices they installed are never disturbed. I believe I am making a donation to them yearly. I recall some years ago complaining & they said they couldn't locate some devices as they got covered up. Couldn't believe they were so unprofessional as to not map the locations or insert markers. In past years I have found some insects & hope they were ants."

"I have used Critter Control for many years. I used them because their employees were invariably knowledgeable about the various animals often telling me from clues left by the animals exactly what type of animal I was dealing with. They have now been bought out by a large company and it seems as if a lot of that knowledge has left. I recently hired them to deal with animals, I assumed possums. They have changed their pricing structure from a per animal charge to a flat fee. They explained that before hand and while pricey, I was willing to deal with it because of the good experiences I had had in the past. They came out and caught immediately a baby possum. Afterward, I got up the scat so I would know if there were others. There were although the employee thought it wasn't more scat just mud. I pointed out that when it had been fresh, it was obviously scat. I also suggested that they might want to move the traps as I did not think it reflected where the animals had been going. Long story short, they only caught the one possum and left. I hired another company and on day one, they caught two more. I won't use Critter Control again as they now seem to lack the basic knowledge that long ago drew me to them."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The costs range from $300 to $2,500, depending on the severity of the infestation and the treatment method (heat, chemicals, or fumigation).

In addition to a clean home, fleas dislike oils made from plants that are naturally bug-resistant or poisonous to bugs. That includes myrtle, mint, eucalyptus, and especially cedar oil. Common household remedies like baking soda, garlic and apple vinegar don’t have any effect on fleas. Don’t spray essential oils directly on your own skin or your pets (and their bedding, because it can be a skin irritant. Stay away from tea tree oil. In pure form it can be very toxic to pets. Always ask your vet if you have any questions.

For years, it was believed that hobo spider bites were incredibly dangerous, causing flesh-eating wounds. But the rumors of their bites were greatly exaggerated, and there's been no real evidence showing a connection between a hobo spider bite and necrotizing wounds. 

That said, the spiders can and do bite, usually as a defense response. They won't attack you unprovoked, but if you take them by surprise and get close enough, they may bite you. Their bites may cause some minor irritation or itchiness. 

Rats have a strong sense of smell and do not like the smell of bleach. However, pouring bleach in drains or toilets is not a good idea because it can cause dangerous chemical reactions and even damage your pipes. It’s best to have a professional plumber install a rat-blocker or non-return valve instead to keep critters from crawling up the toilet.

Bleach can technically kill drain flies, but it’s not really a great tool for getting rid of an infestation. Bleach flows down your pipes too quickly to penetrate the film where drain flies lay their eggs. Alternatively, you can use it to clean around drains, which can help prevent drain flies from returning once you get rid of the infestation.
