The person arrived and asked about my specific complaint & explained just how much of an area he could cover. He was very pleasant and went about his work quite professionally. I gave Quality a B because I have ticks & chiggers in my yard again. Have a call in to the company for a return visit.

I had a severe flea and tick problem in my yard, and they transferred themselves into our house. The neighborhood cats and dogs run freely, thus there are fleas and ticks everywhere. They are a very courteous and professional staff. I have had no problems since they sprayed.

I would say that the price is reasonable and that I usually pay around 100 dollars. The price that I do pay is very decent and works out good. They have always been on time and professional.

We've been using this service for over close to 15 years. They spray 2 times a year to keep the bugs out and they do a good job. They have always been courteous and professional. This summer we had a mouse show up, so this time they helped us with that. They laid traps, and educated us on...

I have used them for 25 years or more. They are reliable and efficient. They are careful when they put the spray down. They are always very friendly. They call us about scheduling so we don't have to keep track of it. They are accommodating as far as time goes.

I am in the busyness of bee hive and swarm removal for the betterment of all parties involved. No job is the same and I operate with that flexibility in mind. I am up front honest about all the details and aspects of the job before I begin and expect it in return. I have a travel fee for long distance jobs, otherwise my fees are job based.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It’s possible that skunks will leave on their own. Skunks may appear briefly on your property and move on if they cannot find food. However, waiting them out is not a foolproof solution. If the skunk finds a food source on or near your property and builds a nest, the animal will almost certainly not choose to move. If you can eliminate food sources, you’ll have a better chance of seeing the skunk leave on its own.

If you’ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro.

Seal entry points, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.
Use bat deterrents like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home.
Reduce bat attractions like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard.

Besides checking your pet’s fur, you can use two other tests to find fleas in your home: the white sock test and the water and lamp test.

To perform the white sock test, simply put on a pair of long white socks and drag your feet along the carpets in your home. Fleas will gravitate to the heat created by your socks. The water and lamp test involves placing a bowl of water on the floor and shining a light over it. Fleas will then be attracted to the light and land in the bowl of water.

Many services include pest removal as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.

A combination of traps, baits, and exclusion techniques effectively manage rodent populations.
