"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
Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
No, the spotted lanternfly does not sting, bite, or otherwise do anything painful or damaging to humans or animals. Do not hesitate to approach and kill the insects and any eggs you find on sight—you’ll be playing an important role in slowing the spread of these invasive and destructive pests. If you’re not sure if the insect is a spotted lanternfly, snap a picture and contact your local extension office for help identifying it.
Whether dryer sheets can keep squirrels away is a bit of a mystery because the evidence is entirely anecdotal. Many households claim to have success with using dryer sheets for keeping squirrels away by placing them throughout their attics, yards, on a clothesline, and any other area where squirrels like to run through. Squirrels do not like strong scents, so if you try using dryer sheets, the ones with the strongest scent may be the most effective.
The costs range from $300 to $2,500, depending on the severity of the infestation and the treatment method (heat, chemicals, or fumigation).
One way to keep pests away is with good housekeeping. Keep ants away with a clean kitchen. They’re less likely to wander in looking to score some free food if there isn’t a mess to find. Wipe down counters, don’t leave dirty dishes around, and keep food in air-tight containers.
The average roach exterminator cost is between $100 and $600, depending on the species, infestation severity, and home size. Read on for a cost breakdown.
If you need to get rid of bugs and pests making your home unsafe, it's time to decide if fumigation is necessary. Learn more about average fumigation costs.
