We've had really good luck with them. The thing that stands out about them is that they're small. They don't just say and ldquo;we'll get to you.and rdquo; They take a little bit extra care and they're there when they say they're going to be there. They don't give a window; they give a...

They're fantastic people. They are just really great to work with. They explained everything. When I asked questions, I always got my answers. I felt that they were very good. I don't think the price was really cheap. I think it was an average price that anybody would charge for those services...

They are really good, the owner comes every time, does the spraying himself, is super nice, and always on schedule. It cost's more for us, as we are a business, but, I think it's reasonable. I give them high ratings and will continue to use them in the future.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

An owl's worst enemy in the wild is often other raptors and environmental factors. Among the avian threats, larger owls or other birds of prey can pose a danger, engaging in territorial disputes or competing for food resources. Terrestrial predators like foxes, raccoons, and larger mammals may target owl nests or young fledglings. Environmental factors like severe weather conditions, habitat loss, and food availability changes can also significantly impact owl populations.

You can use commercial repellents to help deter rodents, but they often have mixed results. A better solution is preventing rodents from getting under your home in the first place. Using steel wool or foam sealer, plug all potential entry points like gaps and cracks in the foundation.

Also, consider installing hardware cloth or wire mesh over vents, utility openings, and any openings under the porch or foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance will aid in early detection and prevention, ensuring a rodent-free environment beneath your house.

Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.

To clean a trash can with maggots, combine chlorine bleach and hot water in a 1-to-1 ratio and pour about half a gallon of the solution into the bottom of your garbage can. Just make sure there aren’t holes in the can before doing so. Close the lid, and let the fumes go to work to kill the maggots. Rinse the can with a hose outside. Consider finishing up with a bleach disinfectant and a scrub brush before letting the can dry completely. You can also consider hiring an exterminator near you for a quick, easy solution to maggots in your garbage cans.

Squash bugs only see one generation per year, but that doesn’t mean they won’t return. These persistent pests overwinter in garden debris, under leaves, and in nearby structures, emerging in the spring ready to start the cycle again. Without proper cleanup and preventative measures, you can expect squash bugs to come back each growing season, especially if you’ve had issues with them in the past.
