"There was a roach problem in the apartment building. I contacted Alleviation Pest about the problem. They were prompt to assess the problem. Through a series of sprays, due to the huge pest problem, there has been a significant decrease of the pest. I appreciate their promptness, professionalism and effectiveness. As a result, I'd recommend them and would use them again."

"Gene showed up as expected for the initial inspection. He walked us through the issues and was very thorough. He patiently answered my questions regarding two pest control issues as well as a potential regimen for the lawn. We went with an exterior treatment to eliminate ants and I can already tell a huge difference a day later. (No ant trails in the kitchen coming from the deck!) He gave us information/pricing on another treatment needed. It's not super urgent so my husband and I are deciding which we prefer to use. As unsuspecting, newish homeowners, he could have pressed us to treat now and use the most aggressive process and we wouldn't have known the wiser. We really appreciate his honest helpfulness and plan to use Natural Elements for pest control and lawn services in the future."

"It went well, I gave him a call and he showed up on time the next day. He inspected my home and determine the point of entry of the rodent. He placed a trap and the rodent was caught in few days.He came back and removed the rodent then proceeded to seal the area off. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about what technique would work best. I would highly recommend him if you are having a pest problem."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

For a minor infestation, you can expect to clear up a German cockroach problem in about two weeks. That’s usually enough time to confirm that they don’t have additional hiding spots and aren’t continuing to encroach from an outside source. If you have a major infestation and use the services of a pest control company, it can take several weeks and multiple visits to fully clear your home, up to a couple of months.

In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.

Gophers are ubiquitous in certain areas, and the only way to completely get rid of them is to put down gopher wire two feet below the surface of your soil and vertically along the edges of your yard. Unfortunately, this may not be a practical solution unless you’re completely redoing your yard or installing an aboveground garden. Alternatively, you may consider putting underground rock barriers around the edge of your yard to discourage gopher visits. However, you’ll still likely get some pests because they can dig as deep as 6 feet below the surface.

Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.

Start by searching online and asking friends and family. Some exterminators are more well-versed in moth removal than others, so peruse their website ahead of time, searching for mentions of moths. 

While on their website, look for any relevant licenses, certifications, and memberships to professional organizations. Also, look for liability insurance, as accidents happen when dealing with pesticides. Search for red flags by reading customer reviews online. Finally, give them a call to discuss the job.
