"ABC Humane Wildlife Control & Prevention did an amazing job of getting to the bottom of exactly what critters were making a home in my attic. The technicians we worked with were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. When more issues were detected, the office staff was incredible with answering questions and getting us on a service schedule that fit our needs."

"Animal tracker did a great job tackling the problem of squirrels that had moved into my attic. They responded right away and went to work the same day. I would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to my friends."

"We still had spiders after the first spraying, but the house was vacant for a long time before we remodeled it, so it was a unique case. They came back to do a second treatment at no additional cost and it worked perfectly. Everyone was very friendly and professional and they showed up on time. We would use them again.

"We had the exterior and dead attic space of our new home inspected by ABC technicians. They took photos of construction gaps that might serve as entry points for small rodents. An ABC crew sealed these gaps and installed screens on our attic vents and fans. The result of this project is that we have been completely pest free for years. We have an ABC technician come by periodically to check for activity, just to be safe (a service we very much recommend). Everyone from ABC is highly knowledgeable, efficient, competent, personable and punctual. We cannot imagine a better company."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The cockroach most easily confused with water bugs is the Oriental cockroach, for several reasons. Their shape is most similar to a water bug, and they’re notorious for seeking out and living near water. If you capture one of these bugs close to a water supply, you can quickly tell if it’s an Oriental roach or a water bug. These roaches are a darker color, and they cannot fly, while water bugs are a lighter brown and can fly to escape.

While you might want to cut corners by either borrowing or purchasing used live traps for catching rats, this can be dangerous because those traps could contain leftover viruses and bacteria that will enter your home. Always start fresh with new materials to avoid contamination.

The best termite treatment depends on your specific infestation, home, and budget. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the most common professional treatments are soil-applied barrier treatments, like liquid termiticides, and termite baits. Bait stations are placed in the soil and work by moving poison back into the colony to kill the queen. For infestations that haven't fully taken root, barriers and targeted termiticides are often the most effective options. Additionally, preventative measures such as moisture removal and installing physical barriers to protect vulnerable wood are important, particularly during construction or remodeling. It is best to work with a termite professional to determine the right treatment for your situation.

When baiting an iguana trap, several items should be avoided. Do not use poisonous baits, such as those intended for rats or mice. This practice is often illegal, is unlikely to attract iguanas, and poses a significant risk to pets or other wildlife. Additionally, avoid using herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are toxic to iguanas, such as fresh sage, rosemary, avocados, and eggplants. While ripe fruit can be an effective bait, be sure to remove any pits or seeds from fruits like apples, pears, and peaches, as they are highly toxic. Finally, steer clear of citrus fruits, which act as a natural deterrent.

Proactive measures like sealing entry points and regular maintenance treatments help keep your home pest-free.
