Customers say: Quick response

"I received a call from First Choice Pest Control within a few minutes of inquiring, late Friday. An appointment was made for Monday, and the worker arrived a few minutes before the expected window. He was polite, explained everything well, and provided additional resources for preventative methods. It took about 30 or less to treat for carpenter ants, so the price seemed a bit high but it seems average going rate. They guarantee their work for a year. Convenient to pay on line. Would use them again!"

"I took three bids to take care of the squirrels that invaded my attic. I am so glad that I chose Apex and that was based on the inspection that was done by Jacob who did the the estimate on the work needed to be done. He did a much more thorough job of examining the situation and identifying what needed to be done to remove the pests and moreover, all of the areas of the house, foundation, bricks, cracks, or openings around windows and doors to be repaired to keep pests from reentering. He was able to find more places and showed me with photographs what else needed to be done and the information he provided showed that he had the experience and expertise that I wanted for the job. Nathan, who came out to do the work was also very personable, courteous, and efficient and when Jacob came back to review what had been done he explained all of what happened and then talked in detail about how this would be followed up in the coming weeks. I have been very satisfied with their work and plan to use them again for another project."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The safest ways to treat bed bugs are non-chemical, such as using diatomaceous earth, essential oils, and heat and cold treatments. Heat treatments are also one of the most effective methods because it kills bed bugs at all levels of life stages: eggs, nymphs, and adults. However, you still need to take precautions by removing items that can be susceptible to heat damage. You also need to remove plants and pets from your home during treatment.

It’s been said that baking soda can kill fleas as it may dry out eggs and larvae. However, this method has not been proven to be effective in killing fleas or other pests. However, you can use it to absorb smells so if there is a fragrance you believe is attracting fleas or ticks, you can use baking soda to rid the smell to control it.

According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.

You can get rid of raccoons quickly by making your home an undesirable place to live. Here are the best ways to get rid of raccoons fast:

  • Repair broken vents and screens leading to your home.

  • Seal open access points into your home. Many raccoons sneak in through the attic, roof, or chimney.

  • Trim trees and branches so raccoons don’t have easy access to your roof and chimney. 

  • Thoroughly clean out garbage cans, remove all trash, and secure the bins.

  • Don’t keep food or water outside.

  • Add raccoon guards to outdoor bird feeders. 

  • Clean up brush around your home—raccoons like to gather loose yard materials for bedding.

Strong scents like peppermint, rosemary, lavender, citronella, and others can repel woodpeckers—as pungent smells can overpower their senses. For that reason, you might consider making a homemade spray with one or a combination of these scents to spritz around areas of your home where woodpeckers frequent.
