"Great experience! Kevin and his crew were extremely knowledgeable about my bird issues. Kevin went above and beyond to remove, fill holes and install bird spikes for the troublesome starlings and sparrows. He cleaned attic of any nesting materials and droppings. I would recommend this company and will use again if needed."

"Critter Control was friendly,listen to our problem, right on time, and obviously knew just what and where to look to solve our problem. Several possible places for mice entry where found along the foundation. However, a major problem was a place over the porch where mice could enter the attic two stories up. A black snake could make the same climb following his mice prey. The problem was the attic entrance not the foundation. Critter Control offered very reasonable solution to our problem. I should have called them rather than keep trying to solve the problem myself by trial and error."

"I had my home treated by One Source Pest Solutions, LLC on August 18, 2025, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. Loren and Blake were the technicians who came out—they were both professional, courteous, and clearly knowledgeable about what they were doing. They took the time to explain the treatment process, answered all of my questions, and made sure to thoroughly address the areas of concern. I really appreciated their attention to detail and how respectful they were of my home. Since the treatment, I’ve noticed a big reduction in bug activity—exactly the results I was hoping for. The products used were effective yet safe for my pet, and there were no harsh smells left behind. If you’re looking for a reliable pest control company with top-notch service, I highly recommend One Source Pest Solutions, LLC. I’ll definitely call them again if I ever need another treatment!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.

The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.

Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.

Maintaining a clean environment can deter spiders to a certain extent by removing clutter and reducing the number of insects they prey on. Spiders tend to favor secluded spots to spin their webs and hunt for prey, and regular cleaning practices such as dusting, vacuuming, and decluttering can disrupt these ideal conditions. Despite these preventive measures, some spider species are highly adaptable and may still infiltrate your home despite your best efforts to maintain a tidy living space.

The fastest method to get rid of moles is, unfortunately, not the most humane one. Poison baits and traps are the quickest way to get rid of a mole infestation. 

However, the poison can be dangerous and even deadly to other visiting animals, such as birds, cats, and dogs. The toxins can even affect predatory birds who eat the moles after they've consumed the poison.

Although it takes time and possibly multiple treatments, roaches can be eradicated from your home. However, they can return if the conditions are right. That’s why taking the steps to prevent an infestation is key. You may also want to discuss preventative pest control treatments with your exterminator. That way, you can reduce the risk of another infestation.
