"The owner Michael is the person you actually deal with. He’s very professional, came the same day I called. Explained everything to me about our pest issue, Springtails in the house and outside, as well as Bark lice outside on our deck. I will definitely use Ares Pest Service again when needed."

"I found Ares Pest Control through Home Advisor, and I'm so glad I did! Michael responded promptly to my inquiry, which I submitted online after business hours. I had a nest of very aggressive hornets, and he came over the next day to remove them. Although we didn't meet (he took care of the hornets while I was at work), I appreciated how prompt, friendly, and thorough he was via email. He charged a very fair price for his services, too. Thank you, Michael!"

"Dennis was extremely efficient and professional. He called me less than 5 minutes after requesting a quote through home advisor and was at my house within a couple hours. He was able to catch the raccoon in my attic in under 10 minutes and suggested to use wire mesh over my broken gable end to prevent anything else from getting in. If you need someone to take care of a critter in your house quickly I would definitely call Animal Control Pros!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Skunks are nocturnal creatures, meaning they are primarily active at night, particularly around dusk and dawn. Their activity levels increase as the weather warms up, and they are generally dormant or inactive during the winter. Skunks are especially active during the spring months when they are foraging for fresh food and seeking mates. While they are typically not seen during the day, daytime activity is possible if a skunk is having trouble finding food, has babies to care for, or is severely ill.

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.

Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it’s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.

Roach spray usually starts working almost immediately on contact—within seconds to a few minutes. However, if it's a residual spray designed to keep killing over time, it can take hours or even days to fully affect roaches that come into contact with treated surfaces. For larger infestations, it may take at least a week to see a noticeable drop in activity, since not all roaches are exposed at once.

The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.
