Easy interaction with 3D Pest Control. Mr Evans got us on a routine spraying schedule and has even checked in to see if we’ve had any concerns since their initial visit. No pressure or gimmicks like I’ve had from the bigger companies.

I am satisfied with their service because they are so trustworthy. I have had them come out even when I wasn't home and have never had and problems with CRIPPS EXTERMINATING CO. They spray outside and inside for me and would give them an A rating.

We have used them for nearly fifteen years. The man Jerry Gallbright that comes out is very sweet. They call the night before they come out and ask if you have any issues that need to be addressed. When I did have an issue with mice in my attic, he put some stuff out to take care of them.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The main reason wolf spiders gravitate towards houses is the presence of their prey, including insects like flies and ants. Their attraction is also heightened by the availability of suitable shelter in areas cluttered or undisturbed and in moisture-rich environments like basements. Openings and gaps in the structure provide an easy access point for these spiders. During cold weather, wolf spiders may also seek warmth indoors, making your home an attractive refuge during harsh weather conditions.

Yes, dryer sheets can repel mice. Mice are sensitive to smells, and many dryer sheets have strong artificial fragrances like citrus, floral, lavender, vanilla, and woodland. Dryer sheets often continue to release scent for many days; some even last for an entire month, making your home unpleasant for mice. Also, dryer sheets are easy to rub around the house and place in drawers, vents, cupboards, and small holes.

False chinch bugs are generally smaller and somewhat paler than true chinch bugs, although they otherwise look similar. The name is a bit of a misnomer: They act very similarly and both feed on plants by sucking out their juices. However, chinch bug feeding tends to be very destructive to the plant, while strangely the false chinch bug does relatively little damage.

There are a few main causes of bed bugs. You can pick up bed bugs through traveling since these pests can hide in the seats of buses, taxis, airplanes, and other vehicles as well as seats at restaurants, hotels, and other public places. Bed bugs can also travel on purses, backpacks, luggage, and other bags. Another main cause of bed bugs is multi-unit housing, such as apartment complexes or college dorms.

Keep flies out of your house by keeping the windows or doors closed, especially when cooking. You can also install window screens to prevent pests from entering your home while allowing a cool breeze to enter your home.
