"Technician Robb Putek (COA 8043) arrived within the time specified. He was very friendly and professional. Robb inspected inside and outside of my home, letting me know where my problems were and what he could fix. He also let me know about problems he could not fix such as a garage door that had gaps, but gave me suggestions on what to do about it. Robb did a great job filling in gaps inside and outside of my home. He showed me the places he fixed, which I felt looked professional and neat. Would recommend this business/technician highly base on my experience."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts
Mice are nocturnal creatures who are highly skilled at hiding from humans. So, if you see mouse droppings but never any mice, it’s quite likely that you’re dealing with an infestation. The presence of mouse droppings indicate the areas where mice are most active in your home. Additionally, the number of droppings and freshness can help you determine the severity of the infestation.
While possums don’t typically carry rabies, they can have lice, fleas, ticks, and mites. According to the University of California’s Pest Management Program, possums can also carry diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, and fevers. Possums are also the carriers of a parasite that can pass to horses and cats called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).
The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:
Peppermint oil
Eucalyptus oil
Cinnamon
Vinegar
Cedarwood
Cloves
Garlic
Chili oil/powder
Cayenne pepper
Ask your friends and family for recommendations for exterminators. You can also browse online for reputable ant control companies in your area—make sure they have glowing reviews and the proper licenses and permits.
Give them a call, and they can take a look at your infestation, determine the type of ant they’re dealing with, and give you a cost estimate. Then, you can compare quotes and choose the pro that’s right for you.
It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.
