Q: How long do bed bugs last without treatment?

• <div><p>Bed bugs typically live between 10 months to one year, but they lay enough eggs that an infestation can continue to multiply and worsen without professional intervention. These pests can survive up to one year without eating, so you can&rsquo;t expect a bed bug infestation to resolve without proper treatment. </p></div>

Q: Are termites hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don&rsquo;t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments.

I hired this guy for multiple things. First was cleaning up and removal of 2 old barn demolition and clean up. Seeming how good of job he did, I asked him if he would be willing to do ceder tree removal on my fence line of my 80 acres. He said he could do it. He did a great job. Great work...

I don’t remember the exact amount but I thought it was a fair estimate. The younger gentleman was very professional but I didn’t want to deal with a cellulose product because it compacts quickly compared to other products.

"I have to admit, I was really disappointed with my overall experience. I was told that I could one time do a reimbursement. First off, why would you do that if you have already paid for service?!?! Then it took almost a week to get some one to address my situation. Now, I do realize that it does take time to get things rolling, but a week?? The gentleman that came to do the work was knowledgeable, but he didn't want to work with he Google representative to make sure that my NEST was/wasn't working properly. He was very short with the rep. and after several minutes of debating with him finally gave in and addressed both of our concerns. The other concern I had was, I was told that I would not have to pay anything this time, because of the delay, yet the rep. said I owed $65.00. He showed me the data he had and sure enough it said that I owed $65.00. Why, would a rep. from your own company tell me this and then turn around and not honor it?!?!? I sure hope that it doesn't take that long to get service the next time, that I need to have something done. What ever happened to customer service?? REALLY DISSSAPPOINTED!!!"
