"I have a vacation home in Kitty Hawk. Last time we were there we saw several bugs when we first got there. I called First Light Pest Control and they came out the same day to help us out! I was very pleased by their work ethic, punctuality and communication. I’ve already booked a return visit for termite prevention. 10 out of 10 I would highly recommend! Thanks guys!"

"Pest control can be a difficult service to assess, except in cases of a known pest that is eliminated and where demonstrable proof of efficacy is shown. While the agent servicing our particular problem (moles) is cordial and knowledgeable, we will have to wait for a period to see if treatment was effective."

"Showed up right on time. They came to inspect the crawl space for humidity and termites, and to maintain a pest free space. I was very happy to know that the chemicals used were pet friendly. There was no pungent odor to the spraying etc. I am confident that the job was done. We are still working out the details to the termite maintenance. They will be back in 3 months for another go around. It was all very professional."

"Our dryer vent is long and not accesssible for owner cleaning without very specialized equipment -- we needed a pro for the job.  This provider was prompt, courteous, explained what he was doing and offered tips for better maintenance.  I would certainly recommend this company to others.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

If you spot a bug in your home that seems very similar to a flea, it’s likely a springtail, which is a tiny jumping insect that can resemble a flea. Unlike fleas, they are not dangerous to humans or animals because they don’t bite. Fleas are smaller than springtails, which is how you can distinguish them.

You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties. Furthermore, these poisons can cause unnecessary suffering for the animal and pose a significant risk of accidental poisoning to pets or other neighborhood wildlife. Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.

Some of the best smells for keeping squirrels away are those that have a spicy or pungent odor. This includes pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, mint, and coffee. Just be careful when handling cayenne or chili pepper. Don’t touch your face to prevent getting some in your eyes, and be sure to keep it away from children and pets.

Whether rain affects a professional mosquito treatment depends on the treatment type, the quantity and intensity of rain involved, and how soon after the treatment it rains. Larvicides, for example, are often applied to water sources where mosquitoes lay their eggs, so it won’t matter if it rains. Some barrier sprays need sufficient time before the next rainfall to penetrate the surfaces properly and do their work.

The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:

  • Peppermint oil

  • Eucalyptus oil

  • Cinnamon

  • Vinegar

  • Cedarwood 

  • Cloves

  • Garlic

  • Chili oil/powder

  • Cayenne pepper
