"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."
"Ryan was fantastic. Despite running well into the evening hours, he came by anyways to treat the home I had recently moved out of. The treatment took no time at all, and he was able to handle all of my requests for specific documentation for proof to deliver to the rental agency. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing some pest control."
The cost of pest control services depends on various factors, but the average homeowner pays around $175, with a typical range of $100 to $500. Your final cost will be influenced by the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of treatments needed.

Monthly visits: $40–$70
Quarterly visits: $100–$300

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.
It is possible, though unlikely, that a home insurance policy will help cover the costs of professional bat removal. However, some policies will chip in for guano removal and associated repairs, such as replacing drywall. Take some time to read the fine print of your homeowner’s insurance policy and call your provider to inquire about bat removal, guano removal, and related repairs.
They can have a deterrent effect on birds to some extent. The reflective surfaces of these objects, such as aluminum foil strips, CDs, or reflective tape, create flashes of light and movement that can startle or confuse birds temporarily. However, some birds can become accustomed to these visual disturbances over time and might adapt their behavior accordingly. For a more sustained solution, combining shiny objects with other deterrent methods shared here is often beneficial for creating a more comprehensive and effective strategy for bird control.
