Why not use poison for rodents?

• <div><p>Poison will kill small rodents and can seem like the quick and easy way to get rid of them. But—in addition to its inhumane nature—poison has some drawbacks. First of all, if you have small children or pets in the home, setting out poison isn't the best idea, as your pets or children could ingest it. </p><p>Poisoned mice and rodents don't die instantly. Instead, it can take several days for the poison to work its way through their system. In the meantime, there's a chance that a predator, such as a cat, fox, or other mammal, will eat the poisoned rodent and become poisoned themselves.</p></div>

• <div><p>As beautiful as vines on your home's exterior can be, they do like to attract many kinds of creepy crawlies. Bugs—including beetles, aphids, weevils, and others—like to make themselves at home in ivy. You can also bet if a wide selection of bugs is available, it will attract spiders, too.</p></div>

How can I prevent the flies from entering my home?

• <div><p>Keep flies out of your house by keeping the windows or doors closed, especially when cooking. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-window-screens-necessary.htm">install window screens</a> to prevent pests from entering your home while allowing a cool breeze to enter your home.</p></div>

Q: Can fleas live in your bed?

• <div><p>You may find fleas in your bed if they followed you there on your pet or your clothing. While they will need you or an animal as a host, they can hide in bedding since it is warm and out of sight. If you spot signs of fleas or see live fleas in your bed, hire a flea control specialist immediately to eradicate the infestation and prevent it from spreading further.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to have bed bugs and not find them?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to have bed bugs and not find them because they hide in small spaces outside of mattresses, including baseboards, headboards, electrical outlets, clothing, and in crevices of walls. They can squeeze into spaces as small as the width of a credit card. Bed bugs can also live up to 400 days without feeding, making them resilient and hard to eradicate.</p></div>

This company had the best price I found and was able to come the same afternoon. Showed up in a uniform shirt and warned me of any problems (bees would be aggressive afterwards and to keep the dog inside) which I thought was very considerate. I would recommend Dan's to my friends! Great work.

It went fine. He was incredibly responsive, came over in like 10 minutes. He did get rid of bees but the charge for like 15 minutes of work was $70. I thought that was a bit steep.

"In 2017 we had an infestation of black ants so we contacted Dakota Pest Control. They were prompt, thorough, informative, and offered to come out for another treatment if needed at no additional cost. Fortunately, one treatment was all we needed. Since it was so nice to not have to deal with spiders, ants, and other pesky insects last year we decided it was worth it to have a general treatment done this year and will probably continue on an annual basis. Cost was very reasonable for the services provided."
