"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
Bed bug extermination costs between $1,000 and $2,500 on average. While the price is often relatively steep, this is the best way to eradicate a bed bug infestation as soon as possible. Your total extermination budget will vary depending on the treatment location and the infestation’s severity.
There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden.
You’ll want to locate all areas in your home that could be a potential entry point for mice, such as doors, windows, vents, baseboards, holes, and cracks in your home’s foundation. Don’t forget to check less-obvious areas like the attic, plumbing and sewers, and even the roof and gutters. If you check these spots and don’t find any signs of mice, consider hiring a pest control pro to dig deeper into potential hiding spots.
Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you’re concerned about the environment, a natural mosquito repellant may be better than either fogging or spraying.
