"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."

"Dependable Pest Solutions is prompt and on time for every scheduled service. They send reminders to me when they are going to be doing their 90 day check ups ahead of time. They make it easy with sending the report via email and providing me with information regarding what was noticed since the last check-up. I highly recommend this company for any pest need!"
"Dennis, who contacted me from this critter control service was very courteous and very prompt. He came to assess my situation in less than a day from contact with him. His service was actually the most reasonably priced service, of all those I contacted. He successfully found the hole where the squirrels were getting into my walls and ceilings, and set up the one way door. Within 2 days, all the noise that I was hearing in my ceilings and walls had diminished. He came within the time frame he conveyed and removed the one way door and then sealed up the hole. I have not had any issues since. The squirrels are no longer having parties in my ceilings and walls. My house is now very quiet. I would recommend Dennis and his service very highly."
Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground.
Not necessarily. If you see a swarm of flying insects, it could be flying ants or termites, but not always both. However, since these winged pests are attracted to moist and rotting wood, there’s a chance that both species are present at the same time.
Seeing one mouse in your home doesn’t always indicate a full-blown infestation. However, it’s very likely that if you see one, there are more lurking around. Even if you suspect that a mouse sighting is an isolated incident, it’s important to take it seriously. One mouse will inevitably lead to more if you don’t take the proper measures to eliminate the problem.
Fleas are master hiders, so they’re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they’re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They’re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it’s important to keep the home clean.
Yes, dryer sheets can help repel mice. The strong artificial fragrances found in many dryer sheets, such as citrus, floral, or lavender, are unpleasant to mice, which are very sensitive to smells. Many people report success using them to deter mice from areas like cars, drawers, vents, and cupboards. The scent can last for many days, making the space undesirable for rodents. However, dryer sheets may not be a foolproof solution on their own. For more effective protection against rodent infestations, it is best to combine them with other preventive measures like traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices.
