"Arriving on time in a vehicle with no advertising displayed whatsoever, Mark first walked me around the entire outside of the house. He explained that any indoor carpenter ant infestation would be a satellite nest arising from a main source somewhere outside, e.g., wood piles, and mature trees with openings or branching close to the ground. Sure enough we found a large tree with a triple trunk about 20 ft from the back of our house with a very active carpenter nest in the center of the divided trunk. Also, there was a large wood pile nearby. These two areas were sprayed with a slow-acting insecticide which would be carried into and through the nest. Additionaly five other large trees on our property were sprayed as a preventative. Then the entire perimeter of the house at the foundation/ground level was also sprayed for the same purpose.

Next Mark and I came back inside to deal with the carpenter ants inside the ceiling beam area. For this treatment he used a cartridge containing a gel insecticide that was applied similar to using a caulking gun. He explained that the gel is completely safe for interior use and would not be harmful to humans or pets because it does not produce an aerosol like the outside treatment. Just as important, Mark explained that the gel is formulated to be very slow acting and would be carried back into the deeper parts of the nest to eradicate the queen and eventually all of the surviving carpenter ants. I also pointed out two areas in our basement ceiling that had evidence of water damage from a previous plumbing break, and he treated these with the gel insecticide.

Finally, Mark recommended that we wait a week or more before closing-up and repairing the beam, and he said to call him if we had any questions or concerns. Since we've had such a long history with the roofing problem and beam repair, we decided to make a temporary, cosmetic repair so we could easily recheck to see if the ant population died off. And just as Mark explained originally that the process would be slow, we did call back after a few weeks and left a message reporting that the population activity was decreasing but was not gone entirely. He returned our call promptly and assured us that what we described was normal and expected. Again he added that we should not hesitate to contact him again.

As of this date, 11/26/12, we know the carpenter ants are eradicated. We are extremely pleased with the services of Shepp Pest Control. We also have a one-year guarantee on this service call, and we intend to call this company for a repeat treatment next Summer, 2013. Everything was handled in a most courteous, helpful and professional manner. We would happily continue to use Shepp Pest Control and ABC Wildlife Company in the future as well as recommend them to family and friends!

"Patrick was very professional all areas. He greeted me with huge smile and explained exactly his procedure for the job. He was very thorough in the application of the pesticides. And followed up with a closing explanation. I would definitely have Patrick come back for next treatments."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The costs vary from $150 to $1,000 per visit, depending on the infestation size, business type, and treatment frequency.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

No, you should never vacuum or sweep up mouse or rat droppings, as doing so can release harmful particles into the air and increase your risk of disease exposure. Instead, wear gloves and a mask, spray the droppings with a disinfectant spray, let it soak for a few minutes, and then carefully wipe them up with paper towels. Afterward, disinfect the area thoroughly and immediately wash your hands when you’re done.

When you spray a roach, the chemicals, usually a mix of neurotoxins like pyrethroids or pyrethrins, start affecting its nervous system almost immediately. It disrupts the roach’s nerve signals, causing paralysis and eventually death. You'll often see the roach twitch, flip over on its back, and stop moving within seconds to minutes.

It is a myth that smashing a stink bug attracts more stink bugs. According to the National Pesticide Information Center, killing a stink bug will not attract more of them. They are able to secrete a pheromone that attracts other bugs, but they will only release their alarm pheromone when they’re squished—which won’t attract more bugs.
