"Kevin is a fantastic local professional and he did a wonderful job with a flea and tick treatment for our house. Despite not having fleas or ticks in the home, we had to perform this as an agreement in our rental lease. In addition to being friendly and a pleasure to work with, he and his team have years of industry experience and know the correct services to provide as well as the right prices to match. Will recommend for all pest control measures going forward!"

"Professional! To provide estimate the house, grounds and crawl space were thoroughly inspected for existing pest and other problems. Paul was friendly and provided an explanation of what was found and cost for treating. No hidden costs and no additional cost as House was treated. I felt other quotes were low and as work would have commenced I would have had additional cost for “unexpected” finds of issues to be treated. Paul was incredible, addressing issues professionally and going above and beyond when weather caused standing water in crawl space. I thoroughly enjoy working with Paul and I’m sure you will also. He is the best bet at meeting your pest control needs."

"The young man (Cody) that came to our house and did the termite treatment and was very thorough and professional. The cost of the treatment was very reasonable and we also signed a contract for pest control. I would highly recommend DC Watkins and their staff."

"David was punctual ,and professional in his introduction ,as to what he was going to do. Our main concern was ants , which he applied two types of insecticides to control the ants. David also inspected the exterior for any potential termite damage, which there was none. He also removed spider webs, wasp nest, and identified 4 ant colonies , that he applied insecticide too.
I agreed to an inspection three times a year for pest treatment, and termite inspection.
Good deal ! Very pleased !

"We were pleased with this company and would use them again and recommend them to others.  We knew we had an issue with our chimney that was not included in the price of the deal, and they gave us a reasonable price to perform this service in addition to the cleaning.

Pest Control FAQs, 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, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of essential oils against bed bugs and they are very unlikely to kill the species. However, a 2021 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that compounds in essential oils like clove oil, lemongrass, citronella, and bergamot could repel the insects.

Possums don’t typically pose a danger to humans—they prefer to stay out of sight. If they feel threatened, they play dead instead of engaging. However, they can become aggressive when cornered, typically when they become trapped inside your home or when a dog chases them. When this happens, it’s best to call a wildlife control service near you to remove possums safely.

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

  • Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor

  • Proper animal identification

  • Written management plan with follow-up visits included

  • Humane removal techniques

  • Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.
