"I was a loyal customer for 3 years, even after a rather inexcusable experience. Jonathan was the initial technician to start our first few services. He was extremely professional, thorough, & effective. We only saw him a handful of times after that, unfortunately. All of our pest issues that Green Pest Defense treated were previously resolved by proper outdoor applications. But at one point after sporadic ant issues, the company insisted on coming inside the house. Although the technician came across as knowledgeable, he was extremely aloof as to his application of ant gel bait/pesticide. I spent an hour cleaning up after he left. I was dumbfounded to find gobs of gel out in the open, everywhere. The most puzzling to me was the blob right next to my kitchen sink on my butcher block counter top (photos below). There were large blobs left all over my wood floors in areas that my grandchildren and pets could easily reach. That incident was well over a year ago and I am still finding dried, too hard to remove, beading that he placed under my upper cabinetry. After this experience, I wrote a very kind email to the company regarding my experience as I thought it worth mentioning for a few good reasons. The response I got was more of a “thanks for bringing this to our attention” and no apology. From then on I would request only outside applications- as those had worked just fine before when performed properly. Often I was not at home when the service technicians were scheduled to come. Because of this, I would email the company ahead of my service with specifics that were worth noting and information that would help save us all time & potential unresolved issues. A few times I would request rescheduling as heavy rains were in the forecast and I didn’t want to pay (for tick spray as an example) just to have it washed away. I realize they try to keep abreast of the weather situation too, but I’ve always been proactive to avoid potential situations and it tends to work out better if I do so. In the last year, we built a small play area onto our back deck for our toddler grandchildren. I know the products the company uses are supposedly safe when dry but I prefer no pesticides to be applied directly in the children’s play area. I thought it would be helpful to put signs up showing “no spray” in the areas I didn’t want treated. It would’ve been just as easy to treat under the deck as opposed to on the deck if the technician felt that portion of the house absolutely needed it to be, in order to be an effective visit. I also pointed out where we saw the ant trails and requested plenty of ant gel to be applied as we had a large amount of ants this season. Even so, I still had to do some of my own pesticide control. I let the company know that in the past, it took 2 visits with ample and strategic gel applications to rid the ants. They wanted to come in the house again and I reminded them of what happened the last time their technician came in, & unless they could send Jonathan, I wasn’t keen on it. They couldn’t send Jonathan, evidently. I understand they assign territories- but it is hard starting off service with a great technician like Jonathan, then dealing with blobs of pesticides on my kitchen counter with another technician. Most recently, I was lucky enough to have endangered monarch caterpillars taking up residence in a small area of my flower gardens. So I had put up 2 signs, one on each end of the area, signifying “no spray” between the 2 signs. I always signed it with a “thank you”. Evidently I was asking too much as I received an email the next day notifying me that my contract was canceled referring to the signs I’ve left in the past. I’ve read some other reviews that people have left saying how this company was really good about not spraying kids’ areas per request- so I’m not sure why my signs with my requests were too much to ask. I was trying to avoid confusion by leaving the signs which were easy to understand-in lieu of my not being at home to explain. I do think that with my location being on the outer borderline of their service area, along with my requesting service in between regularly scheduled quarterly services, that they’ve been waiting for an opportunity to drop me, regardless of what their response here will be. Bottom line is I’m costing them more than they’re getting from me. I tried explaining everything in detailed emails to avoid repeat services but one of their technicians used minimal amounts of product and effort in ridding the pests to begin with- causing the repeat visits. Not to mention that some pests will require repeat visits regardless. I have cameras all over the property so even with my not being home, I saw what was/was not being done. It’s a shame to be treated like this as I’ve been a faithful customer and very considerate. But often as a company grows, it will do things of this nature. I’ll be hiring a company with a better understanding of integrated pest management, more thorough training for the techs that need it, and more understanding and tolerant of small requests."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.

Roof rats can carry a variety of pathogens and parasites, including salmonellosis (food contamination), leptospirosis, trichinosis, rat-bite fever, murine typhus, plague, and toxoplasmosis. Diseases can be spread via urine, droppings, or saliva. To prevent transmission, it’s essential to promptly address a roof rat infestation and avoid direct contact with the animals where possible.

You’ll find that phorid fly larvae breed in moist, decaying, organic matter. When trying to locate a breeding site, thoroughly inspect the following places in your home: drain pipes, trash cans, garbage disposal, pet waste, rotting produce, plants, compost bins, and even under appliances like the stove and refrigerator where moist food may have dropped. It’s also possible for a breeding site to form inside of a wall, crawl space, or under your home’s foundation.

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it’s still prime mosquito season.

Neither the black widow nor the brown recluse are deadly spiders, and North America has no deadly species. However, other places in the world do, including Australia, which is home to the funnel web spider, considered the world’s deadliest spider. However, Australia has not reported deaths from a funnel web spider bite over the past few decades after developing an antivenom.
