Founded by John Adcock Sr. (The Original Trapper John) who started out over 50 years ago primarily helping out farmers and landowners controlling animals from preying on livestock or crops. His reputation for honesty, fairness, common sense and respect for wildlife allowed for our companies steady growth to the point where we are now into our 3rd generation family owned and operated. Having almost 20 people with close to 200 years combined experience. Allowing us to combine prompt response and unequaled expertise to provide the most complete service available.

"The work was excellent. Will came for the estimate and was very polite and kind. He explained the process to me and answered my questions. Fortunately, whatever was in my attic vacated before Will arrived so I was able to proceed with repairs without fear of trapping any unfortunate critters inside my attic. All of the work was unobtrusive and remained outside. J.P. and Austin were the ones that did the repairs. I was very happy with the end results! They too were both very kind and polite and addressed all of my questions. For both appointments (estimate and repair), the technicians were on time. They worked very efficiently too. I was very happy that I found a company who could deal with both possible animal removal and the repair of damage caused by animals getting into the attic."

"Paul Gallagher, provided excellent service, arrived at the appointed time, and completed the removal of two yellow jacket nests in two locations on my property, one in the backyard, and the other was between my neighbors house and my house. They are one of the few that still provides one time service. We would definitely keep them for future service. I had originally called Brody Brothers, but they only provide service plans. They suggested that I contact Angi List for a provider."

Pest Solutions is a family owned and operated full service Pest and Termite and Mosquito Control Company. With 28 years of experience we have the knowledge and knowhow to solve any structural pest control issue you may have. We are not a big company and usually price lower than the major players. You still get the same service as we have been treating homes since 1989 and have the same products available to any pest control company. We are licensed and insured. When you call Pest Solutions, you deal directly with the owner!

"You can still get occasional bugs with any pest control company. The biggest difference for us is customer service. I have been using Pest Solutions for over a year. Their customer service is better than any other I have used. We had an ant problem in the kitchen. They came out in 48 hours. Two days later, I notified them the ants were back. The owner of the company came out himself and did the most thorough treatment I have ever seen. No more ants. I give them my highest recommendation. I often ask people "Is this someone you would want taking care of your elderly mother?" The answer is absolutely yes."

Owner-operated, use of Independent Contractors on certain services. Charges a flat rate. Travel charges may apply. Warning- Growing Pains! As of 10/1/11, Angie's List has been so good to me, and given me so much business that I have to do something I do not want to do; I have no choice, I must hire employees and/or use independent contractors. Please understand, I don't want to, I have to. What that means is that we may not provide the most excellent services that I have always tried to provide, because it may not be me that comes knocking on your door. However much I try to teach and train my employees, they just will not meet up to my expectations, not even my own son! So, I want you, my prospective customers, to know that I am only a phone call away... If for any reason you are not satisfied with our services, please feel free to call me personally (ask for Dave) and let me know whatever the issue is and I will take care of it. Thank you for your understanding... Dave Kilpatrick, Owner.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.

Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.
