"We contacted Adams Pest Control for a problem wasp nest that I couldn't spray effectively. The technician who came out was Caitlin and she was outstanding. She was professional, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did she take care of the nest I was aware of, she was thorough enough to find 2 more and took care of them as well. We had a really good experience with Adams due to Caitlin and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Well done!"
"I had a great experience with Samantha and Davonte. Yellowjackets were coming into our house they were able to identify the location inside the house quickly, give me some tips on what to do right after they used their spray/powder and did an external sweep of the house for other pests. They were very direct and kind with their service."

"Francis Animal and Pest Control was quick to respond to our request through Home Advisor. We had a quote within minutes and they were able to set an appointment for 2 business days later. The technician, Robb, was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and thorough and we would definitely contact this business again, if needed!"
"He was professional, explained exactly what he was doing and asked me questions. He did a great job! All of their technicians have been very professional, courteous and easy to talk with. One of the most professional home service pest control companies we have ever worked with. Highly recommended."
"All they did was spray it when I asked him to take them out and scrub them. I called them back and he came back to clean it and fixed it, he was absolutely superb."
Each service visit is $75. In July 2014, I 2 guests, staying in the guestroom. When we turned on the thermostat, the living room was cooled. When we turned on the thermostat in the living room, it too was cooled. No cooling was present in the guest room. I realized that the previous serviceman sent by the now defunct Colonial Home Warranty mis-wired the damper control. AHS refused to send a company working on the damper control, but insisted on sending a company which does not do such work. I was charged $75 for a service call. This company recommended another company which does damper control work. The second company came and fixed the wiring problem in 5 minutes, charging me another $75 service fee. Their regular service call, without home warranty is $85.
If you need a/c work, beware that AHS pays only $10 per lb of Freon, while most AC repair companies charge around $50/lb.
Last spring, my dishwasher would not let water in. The repairman came for 5 minutes and declared that the water shut off switch was slightly sticky. The deductible was again $75.
I spent a lot of time checking up on various Home Warranty companies and have not been able to come up with a good company. I have decided to go without Home Warranty after 2 top ac repair companies assure me that my HVAC will not be out of order in the next couple of years, if I do proper maintenance.
Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all signs that you have bats in your house or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there’s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don’t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that’s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space.
If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.
Flea eggs can’t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue.
Flea eggs also can’t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer.
While there are plenty of DIY home remedies for pests, trapping and fumigation costs are worth the investment when dealing with a serious infestation that is hard to get rid of, like termites, bed bugs, or mice.
DIY traps and sprays might help eliminate a few ants or the occasional mouse, but they're no match for a full-blown infestation. Call an extermination pro to locate where pests hide, how to treat the issue at the source, and how to keep it from returning.
Yes, exterminators are a type of pest control professional that is qualified to remove wasps safely and effectively. Exterminators will inspect the wasp problem, administer professional-grade treatments, and apply preventative measures to avoid a future infestation. Consult a local exterminator about your wasp problem as soon as you identify it.
