See website for additional service area.

"This provider received a rating of 5 from me for bed bug treatment in 2015. When we discovered bed bugs last month, we decided to use them again. In the interim, ABES had been bought by OPC Pest Services. This time, we were first introduced to Kemuel, whose job was obviously to sell us. He left us under the impression that the treatment would be comparable to what we received in 2015, though the cost was to be $750. compared to $325. He led us to believe that we would have to leave for a few hours after the treatment to avoid breathing the fumes from the pesticide. The great news was that it could be done today. He left us with his phone number, in case we had any further concerns. A short time later, the technician Brock appeared with his approximately 1-gallon sprayer filled with Sterifab (Isopropyl Alcohol). He invested less than 45 minutes, largely spraying around seams on our sofa, loveseat, and queen mattress. Highly unprofessional. Much more to say, but I'm out of space."

"The company representative showed up at the house and did a survey. He shared pictures of locations he felt were problematic. He recommended replacing the 15 year old garage door strips as there was evidence that mice had gnawed their way through. He said he would replace the strips with a rodent proof design strip and since my doors were old he would also have to replace a metal track so the rodent free type would fit. He gave me what I thought was a high estimate and he explained that the labor on the garage doors and supplies would be $1500.00. The remainder of his work(setting traps, etc. was $1000.00. I asked that he itemized the work and he said he couldn't do it. I agreed nonetheless with the promise that he could get the job done in one half day and he would provide itemization and follow up to go over what they did. He called and said all the parts had arrived and we were ready to go. We set a date. At the time of his visit to create an estimate, I offered to leave a deposit. He stated that I would be billed after the work was done to my satisfaction. After we agreed on the date to do the project, I arranged access into the house as I was unable to be there. In the week leading up to the work date he texted me multiple times about leaving a check or giving them my credit card number as they wanted to be paid on the day of the work. Although I found that contradictory, with his assurance of returning the day after job completion to go over this, I left a check in the full amount. Then the misrepresentations began to escalate. He called me and texted me late in the morning they were to complete the work. They were not able to even complete the work unrelated to the garage doors in the time they were there which, I remind you, was over have the cost of my estimate. He failed to bring the correct size devices he had promised and said he would have to return. More importantly, he said that the firm that he ordered the garage door supplies from could not deliver them that day because my doors were obsolete. He said he could order the garage door supplies from another source. At this time I asked him very obvious questions--such as, "why wasn't this researched prior to the installation day". He couldn't answer but interestingly he said that the new supplies were less expensive and required a lot less time to install. As a result of this new information, I asked him the difference in material costs and labor and they were both significantly less. I asked him to give me a new estimate. He called his boss and they said it would cost the same. At this point I told the worker to wait to hear from me as I was going to get a new estimate for the garage doors. I told him not to take the check I had left him and to meet me in a few days to go over the work already accomplished and I would pay him for that if completed. He did not take my check as requested. He was very evasive of setting up a follow up but continued to call and text about the money owed for the work they allegedly did. After multiple annoying texts I asked him to meet and the day was not convenient for him. I asked what day worked for him and he did not respond for 6 days. In that text he again emphasized that I needed to send my money and since there was no guarantee he'd show up I did not. Nonetheless, I told him either of the 2 days he had free were fine with me. I then told him that the rodent free floor drain they had placed had holes that were too small. As a result the condensation that dripped from the pvc pipe into their drain turned into a minor flood in my basement. His next text said that his boss did not want to do any more work for me and that I didn't have to pay them anything. So now I have no idea what they did or didn't do. Obviously, I will try to find a more transparent vendor and eventually the job will be done. I simply wanted to advise future customers seeking help with pests to realize that my experience with them lacked professionalism(didn't order the correct supplies), honesty, and responsiveness. This especially after all their guarantees. Thank you."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Certain smells do repel bats, though this isn’t a foolproof method. Try applying essential oil sprays like mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, or peppermint to possible entry points and throughout the attic. Mix together two cups of warm water with a half cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Put this mixture in a spray bottle and go to town.

Moles make mounds that look like tiny volcanoes, and they are sometimes obscure. They're stealthy creatures that feast on insects. Gophers, on the other hand, create half-moon mounds while digging deeper tunnels. These critters chew on roots and plants, so it is often easier to spot the damage created. Also, moles are usually smaller, with velvety fur, tiny eyes, and shovel-like hands for digging. Gophers are larger rodents with prominent front teeth and external cheek pouches for carrying food. That'll give you the scoop on whether moles or gophers hang out in your yard.

Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there’s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add pollinator plants and habitats to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.

You don’t need heavy-duty chemicals to get rid of a bobcat. In fact, one of the most simple and effective methods of preventing bobcats from entering your property is by keeping your yard clear of overgrowth by trimming bushes and trees regularly. This eliminates potential hiding spots for a bobcat and makes them easier to spot in general.

Ticks love conditions where humidity is 90% or higher, so most ticks will die within a few hours to a few days in the average climate-controlled house.
