"It went great. Brian's team came the first day and took their time looking at everything I needed done. When the saw I was missing some components for the microwave installation, they took it upon themselves to go out and find the right components for me so I didn't need to worry about it. They came back promptly the next morning, and were able to install my microwave. and it looks GREAT!! They then helped me install a new light fixture while also repairing several other lights around the house. Many contractors can do this stuff. But what set Brian and B.C.G. Building Solutions apart was his wilingness to explain all the tools and techniques to me in ways I could understand. He was patient and peristent when faced with some wiring issues in my old house, and best of all, he and his team have a great sense of humor! I'd definitely recommend B.C.G. Building Solutions to anyone and I am eager to continue working with them in the future."
"I needed a handyman to temporarily install a protective cover on a window so the local electrical company could install a new line next to it. Work was done quickly and on time. Great communication and good price. Will definitely use them again!"
"We were lucky. Our 17 year old air conditioner died on the only cool night in July! Pure Air HVAC, LLC came out the next day to give us a quote and installed a new unit the very next day. The price was so good that we decided to upgrade our furnace also! Both the new furnace and air conditioning unit were less than what we expected to pay for the air conditioner alone. They answered all of our questions and explained how the new system worked. We are very pleased. The new unit is so much more efficient and the house feels cooler. I strongly recommend them if you need service or installation!"
"I hired K & K to install a range hood. There was no electrical there previously so they had to run electric. I also had them install a new light fixture and remove an exhaust fan. K & K did excellent work and even repaired an electrical box that another contractor had installed. I was given a great estimate and was charged the estimate price. Would definitely use again and recommend."
"They were friendly and professional. I was offered several options. When the installation was complete, I was shown the new furnace, the new style of filter, and how to operate my new thermostat."
"Very courteous and professional. The three brothers (Jacob, Joseph and Joshua) running the business are easy to work with and very helpful with assisting if any issues caused during the plumbing."
"Kenny arrived at my home from K and K to install the ice maker. I think he had the job completed in about 45 minutes but initially told me 1 hour. I had an existing water supply and he connected that for me also. He was very professional, informed me of the cost that I agreed to pay. This was a great customer service experience. If I needed a major appliance repair, I would definitely use this company again. I got it done when I wanted so I am more than pleased. I know it does not always happen that way."

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.
No; ticks rarely infest buildings. They prefer to stay outdoors waiting for a potential host to pass by. However, while ticks do not infest beds, they can get indoors by attaching themselves to pets, clothing, or outdoor gear. A live tick may survive in your bed for around 24 hours, but it certainly won’t breed or start an infestation.
To determine if you have a rat or mouse infestation, look for several key differences. The most obvious is the size of the rodent: rats are significantly larger with thicker bodies, while mice are much smaller and more slender. You can also identify them by their droppings; rat droppings are larger and rounder, about the size of a raisin, while mouse droppings are smaller, like a grain of rice, and often have pointed ends. Other signs include the sounds they make, as rats produce louder scratching and gnawing noises due to their size. Behaviorally, rats tend to be more cautious, whereas mice are more curious and might be seen more often. Additionally, rat nests are typically larger than those of mice. If you are unable to see the pest or find clear evidence, a professional inspection can provide a definitive identification.
Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.
The best time of day to spray your yard to repel ticks is in the early morning hours or early in the evening. These times of day tend to be cooler compared with the middle of the day when the sun is hotter. Otherwise, the solution could dry out quicker and prove less effective.
