"Before meeting Steve, my peace of mind had been completely compromised in knowing nothing about the bed bugs he was being called to exterminate. I initially called about the problem at night and sure enough he was there the next day to diagnose and plan to fix the problem. In case nobody here is familiar with bed bugs, they are by far the worst creatures I've ever had to deal with. They're silent and stealth bugs that look like ticks with an unfair advantage of being able to latch onto anything they come into contact with and suck your blood while numbing your skin. Steve taught me all this. Not only was my peace of mind restored when I first met and spoke with Steve, but I felt completely confident in him and his knowledge and ability to eliminate my problem. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve for any pest control job in the area. His service is outstanding, he is attentive, knowledgeable and can even create humor from a situation that I certainly wasn't laughing about before I met him. All around a class act and a pleasure to work with despite the circumstances. All Pro Pest is DEFINITELY the go-to pest control service in MA and Southern NH."

"I've had Rutland for a couple of years at this point and signed on to their anual service. I have had Absolutely zero ant sitings since they came the first time. They also managed exterior and interior rotent activity very well. When a hornet's nest appeared in a tree by the deck they promptly and expertly removed this at no extra cost above the anual service. The crew is always prompt and professional, and their work is guaranteed, althgouh I have never needed to call them back for an issue outside of the hornet's nest."

"Service was excellent. The technician that serviced my house was very professional. I have a mice problem and he placed bait stations throughout my house and basement. He also filled several holes he felt needed to be sealed. He pointed out a spot on the exterior he felt might be an entrance way for rodents. My house was just treated so currently I have not seen any."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

If you’re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It’s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it’s on a sturdy surface so it can’t wobble or tip (squirrels aren’t likely to walk in a trap that isn’t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait—in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Heat is the most effective instant killer of bed bugs. Exposing them to temperatures above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for over an hour can eliminate them. Methods like steam cleaners and using a dryer on high heat are effective for this. Other options that can kill bed bugs on contact include EPA-approved pesticides, bleach, disinfectant sprays with alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hydrogen peroxide. While freezing can work, it is not an instant solution, as it can take several days at 0 degrees Fahrenheit to be effective. Keep in mind that many DIY treatments won't reach bed bugs hidden in cracks or behind walls. For severe infestations or the most effective results, it is best to hire a professional exterminator for a professional heat or chemical treatment.

If squirrels set up a home in your attic, they can cause considerable damage. It’s not uncommon for them to chew holes in your roof, siding, or joists, and they can eat through electrical wiring. They might also travel to other parts of your home or into your wall cavities. Not to mention all that bacteria-filled feces and urine they spread around. 

You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties. Furthermore, these poisons can cause unnecessary suffering for the animal and pose a significant risk of accidental poisoning to pets or other neighborhood wildlife. Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.
