"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!"

"They have been very helpful. The refrigerator we had, had a control panel that they could not replace, so they gave us options and we were able to get a new refrigerator. They have saved us a lot of money over the year. They probably saved us $5000 on an AC issue. They are very prompt at responding and have been very professional."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Wasps are attracted to three primary things: Bright colors, food sources, and softened wood they can use for nests. They are more active in warmer months, which is when outdoor flowers and dinners also become more common. You can decrease the attention of wasps by keeping trash bins closed and avoiding bright flower colors in furniture or tablecloths.

If you find bed bugs on your mattress, your first step is to put your sheets, pillowcases, pillows, and nearby linens into a trash bag and wash them in hot water. Then, vacuum your mattress and the rest of your bedroom, paying special attention to the mattress seams and crevices near your headboard. Next, use one (or more) of the solutions listed above to kill any live bugs, or call an exterminator for a professional treatment.

Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.

For routine pest control maintenance, most specialists recommend treatments every three months (quarterly). However, the ideal frequency can range from monthly to yearly depending on several factors. If you have a severe infestation, more frequent treatments will likely be necessary. Your location also plays a role; for example, homes near water may experience more pests in spring and summer. It's best to discuss your specific situation with a pest control professional to determine a suitable schedule. If you notice any pests between scheduled visits, inform your provider so they can address the issue promptly.

Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:

  • Lavender

  • Citronella

  • Eucalyptus

  • Cinnamon

  • Thyme

Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.
