"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

We make back yards worth mowing and front porches worth swinging. We bring friends and family together for picnics and pool parties, barbeques and bonfires. We eliminate mosquitoes from your yard so you and your family can actually enjoy it! Our service works so well, we guarantee it! Because we take care of the mosquito larvae and the adult mosquitoes, we are able to break the mosquito lifecycle and all but eliminate mosquitoes from your yard altogether. So, if you are ever bothered by mosquitoes between treatments, just call. We will return and do a follow-up evaluation and re-treatment free of charge. It’s great for kids and pets too, since it’s a milder concentration of the active ingredient used in lice shampoos for children and flea and tick shampoos for pets.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Strong scents like peppermint, rosemary, lavender, citronella, and others can repel woodpeckers—as pungent smells can overpower their senses. For that reason, you might consider making a homemade spray with one or a combination of these scents to spritz around areas of your home where woodpeckers frequent.

Silverfish can crawl on you in your sleep. They enjoy consuming dandruff and will crawl on your scalp for nourishment. They can also find their way to your hairbrushes and anywhere you’ve shed dandruff. It’s important to keep pillowcases, sheets and brushes clean to avoid making your bed hospitable for unwanted guests.

Allowing wolf spiders to reside in your home can have benefits, as they serve as natural exterminators, preying on insects and pests that could become problematic. Their presence can help keep your residence relatively free of nuisance insects such as flies, ants, and cockroaches, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Wolf spiders are generally not hostile towards humans, and their bites, although painful, usually don't result in a significant medical concern. If you can coexist peacefully with these spiders and recognize their role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem within your household, they can contribute to a healthier and pest-reduced environment.

Setting up an animal trap in your yard largely depends on where you live and the type of critter you're dealing with. In many states, trapping nuisance animals like squirrels, rats, or raccoons is allowed, sometimes without needing a permit. However, certain wildlife species are protected, and not all states have lenient catch-and-release regulations.

Before placing a trap, check your local laws to avoid fines or other legal issues. Some areas allow DIY trapping, while others may require professional assistance. Most areas require a professional to relocate the animal once trapped. Consulting a pro ensures you handle the situation responsibly, humanely, and within the law.

Carpenter bees do not make honey like honey bees, but they are still essential pollinators. In fact, they have a unique talent called "buzz pollination," in which they use the vibration from their wings to help release pollen from the flowers' anthers. Honey bees are also vital pollinators but do not use this process because they are too small and lack the strength required to buzz pollinate.
