"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

If you’re wondering whether pest control services are safe, rest assured that they are if you hire a licensed and experienced exterminator. Professionals are trained to use EPA-approved products in controlled amounts and apply them in targeted areas to minimize exposure to people and pets. Plus, many modern pest control methods are designed to be low-risk while still effectively eliminating pests like scorpions. If you have concerns about chemicals, ask your exterminator about eco-friendly or integrated pest management (IPM) options, which focus on prevention and minimal pesticide use.

Adult fleas can live a few days to a couple of weeks on your couch if they don't have a host to feed on. However, flea eggs, larvae, and pupae can live much longer, even several months, with the right conditions. That is why it’s vital to eradicate them from your couch and other upholstered furniture.

The same heat treatment that’s effective on flea eggs will also destroy the adults. There are four stages of the flea life cycle—egg, larva, pupa, and adult—and you’ll have to keep all of them in mind when taking on a pest infestation in your home.

Naturally occurring EPA-registered Bti products are an effective way to kill off mosquitoes at the larval stage. And, although they won’t wipe them out, there are lots of natural repellents that make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes. Try planting some marigolds, lemon thyme, or other plants they’ll steer clear of, light a citronella candle or two, or lay some bug-offensive cedar mulch.

Exterminators can get rid of your current ant problem, but they won’t prevent ants from coming back. So it’s important to implement ant preventatives to avoid future infestations.

The primary reason ants enter your home is to find food. If they can’t find any, they won’t survive. So, the most effective way to prevent ant infestations is to clean, clean, and clean some more. 

Keep your kitchen sparkling and wash your dishes immediately (or at least give them a quick rinse and wash off leftover food). Take out your garbage and compost as often as possible and tightly seal all your kitchen containers, especially the mason jars you use to hold your sugar—sugar is gold to ants.

You can also hire a local handyperson to help you prevent future ant infestations. The handyman can seal cracks and fix leaks throughout your home, which will keep any ants from entering.
