"We were unhappy with a former service we had used for several years. We had problems with our lawn that were largely ignored. We decided to try Lawn Doctor. They are reasonably priced, extremely. Knowledgeable, and very responsive. Since the first service call, weâ ve already seen vast improvement in our lawn."

"McKnights' came to our rescue after another well known pest control service cancelled due to a scheduling conflict (theirs not mine). We were leaving on vacation in two days and had a serious ant problem. He came out even though it was a weekend and took care of the issue. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of this type of service."

"very professional.  Described the process and the fees for the trapping. Came back the next day and removed the skunk and trap.  Reset the trap in case there were more than one skunk.  Came back two days in a row to check and concluded that we had only one resident at our hose.  We have seen none since.  I would highly recommend Groen's for rodent/pest removals.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

No, phorid flies do not bite humans or animals. However, they can still be harmful to humans. Since phorid flies feed on decaying organic matter and are found in unsanitary conditions, they can transmit disease organisms onto foods and food preparation surfaces. If you suspect that your home has a phorid fly infestation, protect your health by taking immediate action to eliminate it.

If you want to get rid of rats fast and don’t mind the price, we suggest contacting pest control. They have the methods, experience and equipment to handle the job as quickly as possible, along with suggestions on how to make sure rats won’t pose any problem in the future. It’s the most complete response available to homeowners.

No, poison isn’t the best way to deal with animals in your attic. It’s unlikely to completely eradicate the problem, especially if you don’t take care of access points. Also, poisoned animals may die and decay in the attic, causing noxious odors. 

Some animals may leave the attic before the poison kills them, which could lead to nearby pets or other wildlife eating the animals and becoming poisoned themselves. Ultimately, it’s better to avoid using poison and contact a professional instead.

The cost of removing a hornets nest ranges from $300 to $400, depending on the size and location of the active nest. Bald-faced hornet removal costs more than the average—about $625 to $750. The price tag also depends on the eradication method, ranging from aerosol sprays and dusting to vacuuming and extermination.

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.
