"Steve, Jesse, Simmons, and the entire team at Carolina Wildlife Handling have dealt expertly and knowledgeably with the small bat colony in our attic. From educating us as homeowners about this protected species and about the health risks associated with their guano to following my lead in not discussing the critters in front of my youngest children until they had been relocated - this crew were pros. They explained each step of the process in detail, came when they said they would, were respectful of property and very thorough, Too bad the bats are now fully excluded and relocated, because it would be a pleasure to hire them again! I recommend CWH without reservations."
"Jeremy was the exterminator that did the job, he has addressed my concerns with great attention to the issues. Legion pest control is my preferred exterminator."
The previous pest control company I had (a large nation wide company) came out once a quarter for service. Every time they came for service they said they treated the crawl space. Recently we saw some roaches in the house, so when I went to check in the crawl space, it was clear that the crawl space had never been treated.
After terminating service with that company, I had a couple of other companies come out for an assessment. One salesman promised to clean up (de-web) the crawlspace, but the technician who came out said he would not enter the crawl space. This seems to happen a lot with pest control companies i.e. the technician never follows through on promises made by the salesman.
Taylor Cook from Economy Exterminators clearly laid out what they would do in the contract - in writing. The price was about 30% more than the previous company but they are supposed to come out 6 times a year (every 60 days) instead of every quarter. This may be over doing it, but they do cover 44 pests including carpenter ants and mice. This is more than what most companies cover.
Kevin Hagan, the technician who came out per schedule a couple of days later did everything that was agreed, which included de-webbing the crawl space and treating it and thus adequately met my expectations.
Foundation Crawl Space Automatic Vents:
I ordered for this along with the pest control agreement. I had previously got quotes for this from 2 other Angies list companies. Economy Exterminators gave the best quote.
While talking about the vents, Taylor said the vents came with a lifetime warranty. However, when I received the copy of the contract, it said 1 year labor & materials warranty. So when I asked about it, he said he will revise.
However, the revised version said 5 year warranty, which is what the manufacturer offers the company. I understand that Taylor may have misquoted when he said lifetime warranty. However, I just did not like the way this went about, so I cancelled the order.
The next day, Taylor called me back to tell me that he asked his management to make an exception and keep the initial promise and provide lifetime warranty. The revised contract this time had the lifetime warranty clearly written out.
In the meantime, I verified from the manufacturers website that they do indeed provide only a 5 year warranty. So the extra mile (or more) that Taylor and Economy Exterminators went to earn my business is remarkable.
Hopefully, I will never have to avail of the warranty and the vents will keep working fine, but my experience so far with Economy Exterminators had been exceptional. "
"They came out right away and then scheduled the time to come treat our house shortly thereafter. They had a crew and even treated the second floor of the wall that was termite damaged for extra treatment. As a result, we have been using them for pest control since. I definitely recommend them for termite treatment."
"Up front, unforeseen circumstances haven't allowed me to hire Wildlife Home Solutions for the job... yet. But I will. Not only were they the only business that contacted me in person instead of form-mail or a link to a corporate website, they were the only one to show up and inspect the property at all. They were thorough, very polite, answered all of my questions, and the price quoted was reasonable for the work to be done.
I look forward to working with them in the future and would definitely recommend their services."

"I had some spiders getting in to my house. I reached out to several pest control companies, and Makallnic Home Solutions was the one I chose. They had the best customer service from the time I called to the end of the service. They did a fantastic job and was quick to getting my home serviced."
Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs—their main food source—will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common.
Signs include visible nests, droppings, frequent loud noises, or structural damage caused by these animals, indicating a need for pest control intervention.
Popular nesting areas outside of a home include eaves, porches, gutters, and chimneys. However, some birds can make their way into your attic or ventilation systems. A reputable removal service will inspect your home's interior and exterior for any evidence of roosting and nesting birds while they prepare to remove them.
When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:
Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn’t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home’s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.
