"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."

"Prices were comparable to what we have been paying a nationwide pest control company. Schopen's service far exceeds the other company. They were here the same day to deal with our rodent problem. The technician was very professional yet friendly. They did a very thorough job! The other company told us we would have to wait a week for service even though we had been with them for several years, paying thousands of dollars over that time. We are cancelling the other company today!"

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

Hornets are attracted to bright colors that look like flowers, including purple, pink, white, green, and yellow. They are least attracted to dark colors, such as blue and black. 

When you’re checking for bed bugs in your home, start by searching for the telltale signs rather than the insects themselves, as they tend to stay hidden during the day. Here are the key signs of a bed bug infestation:

  • Rust-colored or reddish stains on mattresses and bed sheets

  • Dark spots on fabric

  • Shed skins

  • Fecal matter (looks like black spots)

As for fleas, you can typically spot them on your pet. If you notice them scratching themselves excessively, look for bites and bugs on their skin and fur.

It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can’t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to Pennsylvania State University, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren’t scientifically proven effective.
