"We thought we had one or more bats. They thought we had mice, so they treated for mice. In addition to bait stations, they looked over the house and sealed all they could, though they had to come back 2-3 more times to continue checking and finding new holes to seal. We are still not sure we are rid of the mice that are in the house. We did recently find 2 dead mice outside the house. Hard to know."

At Greenix Pest Control, we know that effective pest control is a process, not a one-time fix.

We specialize in mosquito and tick control. With our exclusive proprietary blend, we achieve the best results. We do a seasonal service and one-time applications for residential properties. We will apply our product every 10-17 days from May-October. Don't get stuck in the rain with a company that sprays every 21-30 days, or offers a cheap price. If you want the best results and customer service then welcome to Mosquito Shield.

"I filled out online request for quote and my phone was ringing in less than 60 seconds with them calling me. Person calling was very polite but very obvious he was reading from a script. I let him complete his pitch and he gave me a quote (with out asking me any questions) and he proudly stated "for my zip code the price is $599". I politely declined. The reason I originally called was thought it was more of a local company than the franchise competitors. However, the phone number area they called me from was 508 are code which is Massachusetts and I'm in Minnesota. I think I'll keep looking for another company to do this work."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Rats are the most active at night, from late evening through the early morning. These nocturnal creatures forage for food and explore their surroundings in the dark, when it's quieter and there's less human activity. You're less likely to see them during daylight hours, as they usually stay hidden in walls, attics, or other secluded areas. Spotting signs like droppings or gnaw marks is often the first indication of their presence, rather than seeing the rodents themselves.

The type and amount of damage pests can cause to your home depends on the type of pest. Some pests, like rodents, often chew through wiring and can cause extensive damage to electrical systems, HVAC systems, walls, and insulation. Additionally, the pest’s waste presents a potential health hazard if it contaminates food or water. Other pests, such as termites, chew through floors, walls, and furniture, causing thousands of dollars in damage and making for costly repairs.

Yes, exterminators spray inside kitchen and other cabinets as part of a whole-home pest control treatment, especially when eradicating bugs that like to hide there, like roaches and ants. If you spot a pest infestation in your pantry or cabinets, be sure to show your pest control pro which areas have the most traffic.

Ground moles are not typically dangerous. They're not known to carry rabies like many other wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, and bats. And they don't typically bite humans, although it's possible if they feel threatened. If you do get bitten by a mole, it's best to see a physician to be safe, but most often, the bite will heal on its own unless it gets infected.

There’s no easy way to calm down swarming wasps, especially if they are already agitated. Stay far away and wait for them to settle down to avoid injury. If you’re attempting to DIY kill a very small wasp nest, wait until night to apply wasp spray, as they are calmest and most docile when it’s dark.
