"I have a critter of sorts in my wall. He said its almost definitely a mouse (or mice). He could lay traps or rip the wall open, but they dont repair it. I opted for traps. He laid a bunch of mouse traps. 5 days later I dont have any mice in the traps, but I still have a critter in my wall. I called him back. He said hed come out again, and I never heard from him again. $150 down the drain. Another pest control service said its most likely a chipmunk and they will lay a trap in the attic. Going to try that route now."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.

Hazing is an effective strategy for keeping foxes away from your yard because these wild animals are usually scared of people, loud noises, and sudden movements. If you have a large dog patrolling the yard, that’s also usually a powerful deterrent for foxes. You can also use hazing to keep badgers away from your yard, along with pests like raccoons and coyotes.

Heat is the most effective instant killer of bed bugs. Exposing them to temperatures above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for over an hour can eliminate them. Methods like steam cleaners and using a dryer on high heat are effective for this. Other options that can kill bed bugs on contact include EPA-approved pesticides, bleach, disinfectant sprays with alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hydrogen peroxide. While freezing can work, it is not an instant solution, as it can take several days at 0 degrees Fahrenheit to be effective. Keep in mind that many DIY treatments won't reach bed bugs hidden in cracks or behind walls. For severe infestations or the most effective results, it is best to hire a professional exterminator for a professional heat or chemical treatment.

The fastest way to get rid of termites is to apply a liquid insecticide exterior barrier around your home. If you have a severe infestation, this is your best option, and we recommend having a professional exterminator tackle this project.

The main things to consider when hiring an exterminator is your infestation size and budget. The price range for roach extermination varies widely depending on the circumstances. If it’s a localized infestation that only requires a few treatments from an exterminator, it will probably only cost hundreds of dollars at most. But if you have a large house and a widespread infestation, be prepared to pay thousands of dollars for fumigation and tenting.
