"Just cancelled service today. Have been a customer of McNeeley since 2014 and never experienced such terriible customer service until now. I don't know how BugOut expects to keep customers unless they are going for quantity to the point that it doesn't matter. Too much to even post here. Will find a local company who cares about their customers like McNeeley did instead."

We are a full service pest control company that has been serving the Piedmont Triad area since 1984. As an independently owned company, we take pride in this community and aim to be known as a company that is willing to exceed your expectations. We have received two of the leading designations in the Pest Management Industry, QualityPro and QualityPro Green. Created by the National Pest Management .

"The house is empty (ready for sale) and so I was able to have both inside and outside sprayed. I payed $190 for this....and it took the technician about 30 minutes to do the whole house. I would give the service an A, and the pricing an F. In my judgement, this is way overpriced for some chemicals and 30 minutes of work."

He came to our home on time and delivered the report as promised. He used the infrared tool to get any hidden items. He also responded to all my questions. Price was fair and comparable to other quotes I received. I would definitely hire him and his company again."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Hornets are attracted to bright colors that look like flowers, including purple, pink, white, green, and yellow. They are least attracted to dark colors, such as blue and black. 

If your house is full of things that attract spiders, you’re more likely to have a population explosion. When you have lots of cracks leading to warm, secure spots in your home, why wouldn’t they want to come in? Especially if your home has plenty of other meal-ticket insects, like flies, roaches, and fleas. Sealing up obvious cracks and gaps and keeping your house bug-free makes it a less appealing place for spiders.

Humans attract fleas with their body heat, the carbon dioxide (CO2) they exhale, body odors, and movement. Fleas love hiding in warm, dark places like hair and scalps, armpits, and groin areas. Fleas prefer to feed on pets and wildlife, but they do bite humans when other warm-blooded mammals aren’t available.

For years, it was believed that hobo spider bites were incredibly dangerous, causing flesh-eating wounds. But the rumors of their bites were greatly exaggerated, and there's been no real evidence showing a connection between a hobo spider bite and necrotizing wounds. 

That said, the spiders can and do bite, usually as a defense response. They won't attack you unprovoked, but if you take them by surprise and get close enough, they may bite you. Their bites may cause some minor irritation or itchiness. 

The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.
