"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."
"Flexibility of payment. Mark has done my pest control for over 5 years. Any issues or added issues he gets it taken care of. A man of his word. I have referred him to many people and will continue."
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"John was very quick to respond and immediately helped me with my bat problem. He did a very thorough inspection of my problem areas, quickly wrote up a quote and was able to get the work done in just a few hours."
"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!"
"I had an existing company and their sales rep convinced me to give them a shot I was thoroughly impressed. Very professional and a very effective service."
Naturally get rid of gnats by luring them into a homemade trap with sweet-smelling items from around the house. Cover a bowl with plastic wrap, place a paper cone in a jar, or simply leave a wine bottle with a bit of residue on the bottom. Each of these traps will attract remaining gnats and keep them from spreading.
Tree sap is not usually dangerous to humans or pets. But some trees do produce dangerous sap. Notably, ash, birch, cedar and similar saps can irritate the skin but aren’t dangerous. Sap from trees like the Brazilwood, Mahogany, Milky Mangrove or well-named Poison Walnut can be corrosive, cause nausea, or trigger those with asthma. But for most backyard trees, protective equipment like a sturdy pair of gloves should be fine.
Bleach can technically kill drain flies, but it’s not really a great tool for getting rid of an infestation. Bleach flows down your pipes too quickly to penetrate the film where drain flies lay their eggs. Alternatively, you can use it to clean around drains, which can help prevent drain flies from returning once you get rid of the infestation.
The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.
Stink bugs don't harm humans or their homes, but they can do a number on vegetable crops, especially in large numbers.
