Bite Back Bed Bug Removal of Boston is your best choice for effective, pesticide free bed bug extermination in the greater Boston area. Bite Back uses steam heat and other non chemical methods to eradicate bed bug infestations in one treatment for a reasonable price. Our service are discreet and come with a 100% money-back guarantee.

"I caught bedbugs from a friend's place. While I didn't have a huge infestation, they followed me on a trip to another city and back. Big bummer. Bite Back folks not only helped me accurately identify my bites and the bugs themselves, but helped me do what I could to combat their spread while I was traveling. When I got home, they helped me self-quarantine to stop the spread too, then they promptly came over and treated my house thoroughly in time to make sure my small problem didn't turn into a big one. The entire time I was treated with respect with all the questions bedbugs raise (what do I do about my books and records? Should I worry about one side of the room if they're on the other? What do I tell my roommates?). Without them I assume my landlord would have had to pay a ton for a pesticide service that would have only made the problem worse in the end. Even after I was in the clear, I contacted them to make sure I followed up well to prevent future issues. I highly recommend them--eco-friendly, human oriented, honest and simple work."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

Sort of. Hornets are a subsection of wasps with some unique characteristics (along with yellowjackets and similar types of insects). Hornets are generally rare in the United States, with European and Asian hornets the two notable examples.

Hornets tend to be significantly larger than wasps, often larger than one inch. They are also typically white or brown striped instead of yellow like many wasps. They tend to be one of the more aggressive types of wasps, which when combined with their size makes them a priority for homeowners.

While keeping any critter away permanently isn’t always possible, you can keep mice away from your home by setting traps, fumigating your space, and sealing known entry points. Once you’ve taken these steps, take time to work on prevention measures, such as clearing out all clutter and recyclables and removing all food sources.

There is no exact science here, due to the nature of nests and how mice raise their young, but a good place to start is to inspect the droppings. A single mouse poops a lot, leaving around 50 droppings in a single day, likely near a primary food source. If you find only sporadic droppings, you likely have a small infestation. If you spot large mounds of droppings, you are dealing with a big problem.

Hawks might seem like fearless predators, but these smart birds do know what other animals to be cautious around. Hawks are naturally wary of humans and predators that see them or their eggs as a potential meal or threat. This list includes owls, crows, eagles, and even snakes or raccoons.
