"My service went very well. The woodpecker wasn't just causing constant noise with its obsession with a particular point of the exterior or my house, but damage as well and kept returning daily. I was surprised upon calling around that most animal pest services were so expensive, but Critter Control was fairly reasonable. 
My particular service man was also very polite, and checked for damage in many of the adjacent areas, and as I had just become injured, he provided a bit of extra help by tossing down some of the leaves clogging the gutters while he was up there. He provided excellent advice on ways we could help prevent future pest problems, and some tips on some wood rot he was seeing from the ladder which I managed to get fixed using another service provider I found on Angie's List. 
I would definitely recommend Critter Control for their services to others here, and have already recommended them to several of my neighbors.

"We had the team check our house to make sure we didn’t have bats since two of our neighbors did. Thankfully, they did not find any current bats in our house, but apparently did have a few at one time. They did find evidence of mice/rodent in the attic. So they put out appropriate measures for that. They also reviewed our insulation and noticed that it was quite light in areas. It will be coming back to actually put in new insulation for us. They were very friendly and very hard workers. They took their time, checking the house to make sure there weren’t any holes that bats could come in since the neighbors had a maternal population of bats. They took excellent photos/videos of things they found and showed it to us. Offered to help me carrying my groceries when I return from Sam’s Club. Just a super nice crew. Thanks so much team. We really appreciate it and we look forward to seeing you when you put in the new insulation!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Pantry bugs are rarely able to get into sealed packages, but they may try. If you find pests on or around a sealed food item, check inside to make sure the food is still clean. Not sure whether a package is contaminated? Spread the contents onto a cookie sheet and use a flashlight to look for pests.

Rat poison that contains an anticoagulant like warfarin can cause bleeding, chills, confusion, extreme fatigue, headache, convulsions, lightheadedness, and seizures. Anticoagulants prevent your blood from forming clots, which can result in uncontrolled bleeding both internally and externally. Other types of rat poison that aren't anticoagulants attack your liver, kidneys, and digestive system. They can suppress your breathing and heart rate, causing low blood oxygen and poor circulation. Burning in your throat and gastric discomfort are common symptoms.

Roaches have a strong sense of smell and are repelled by a variety of potent aromas. Scents that can help deter them include citrus (such as lemon and orange), herbs like peppermint, mint, basil, thyme, and oregano, spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, clove, and garlic, as well as lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree oil, and vinegar.

You can use these scents in several ways to create an unwelcoming environment for roaches:

  • Plants: Place mint or lavender plants in your home or garden.

  • Powders and Leaves: Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed bay leaves and citrus peels in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points.

  • Sprays: Create a diluted solution with scents like lemon or vinegar to spray in your home. These can also be used in cleaning products or as room fresheners.

  • Essential Oils: While essential oils of these scents can be used, be cautious as they can be toxic to pets if inhaled.

It is important to note that while these smells can help keep roaches away, they typically do not kill them and may not be enough to drive out an existing infestation entirely. For best results, combine these scent-based deterrents with regular cleaning. Be sure to clean up all food spills, crumbs, and dirty dishes promptly, and keep trash cans covered with a tight-fitting lid to remove potential food sources.

Start by searching online and asking friends and family. Some exterminators are more well-versed in moth removal than others, so peruse their website ahead of time, searching for mentions of moths. 

While on their website, look for any relevant licenses, certifications, and memberships to professional organizations. Also, look for liability insurance, as accidents happen when dealing with pesticides. Search for red flags by reading customer reviews online. Finally, give them a call to discuss the job.

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
