"I recently used this company for pest control in my home, and it was a great experience. Easy Booking: Booking an appointment was simple. I did it online, and the staff was friendly and answered all my questions. Friendly Technicians: The technicians showed up on time and were very professional. They checked my home carefully to find out where the pests were coming from. Clear Plan: They explained what they would do to get rid of the pests and talked about the products they would use. They also made sure to mention that the products were safe for my pets, which I appreciated."

"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

Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier—called crawl space encapsulation—on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.

Heat is the most effective instant killer of bed bugs. Exposing them to temperatures above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for over an hour can eliminate them. Methods like steam cleaners and using a dryer on high heat are effective for this. Other options that can kill bed bugs on contact include EPA-approved pesticides, bleach, disinfectant sprays with alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hydrogen peroxide. While freezing can work, it is not an instant solution, as it can take several days at 0 degrees Fahrenheit to be effective. Keep in mind that many DIY treatments won't reach bed bugs hidden in cracks or behind walls. For severe infestations or the most effective results, it is best to hire a professional exterminator for a professional heat or chemical treatment.

First, you’ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you’ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don’t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment.

Trapping is generally not recommended, as even gentle traps can become as inhumane as kill traps if a rabbit is caught and stuck for several days. Additionally, capturing one rabbit isn’t likely to prevent other rabbits from wandering your yard. If you choose this method, it's essential to use live traps designed for humane capture and release of the rabbits in a suitable, safe habitat far from your property. Be sure to set a reminder and check the trap at least twice per day.

Roaches entering your home or infesting an area are usually the result of poor sanitation. Cockroaches feed off of crumbs, spills, food scraps, and other organic matter, so they’re more likely to stick around and come back for more if your space isn’t cleaned up regularly. Maintain your home and prevent roaches by cleaning the kitchen area daily, sealing food tightly, removing open water sources, and eliminating clutter.
