"Dusty was very professional and gave me a fair price. He explained everything in detail and what the plan was. I had some mice and birds that were getting into our attic & we found a few mice in our house. He and his crew came in and removed everything thing in the attic, sanitized, sealed everything from the inside and then did brand new insulation. He checked on us over the next month and came back 2 more times to check the status of our attic trap. He was very fast, fair and professional. I would hire his company again."

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."

Bird Control questions, answered by experts

Professional pest control services for birds and bats prevent property damage, preserve health standards by avoiding the buildup of droppings, and ensure humane removal and prevention techniques.

Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn’t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home’s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.

Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all signs that you have bats in your house or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there’s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don’t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that’s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space.

While simple prevention methods may be DIY, actual removal and control of infestations are best handled by professionals familiar with humane and effective techniques.

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
