"I got to meet one of the owners Todd, and he was great at explaining everything carefully and ensuring that the bugs at our house were all exterminated. I am only giving 4.5 stars for now because the job is not finished, but he really cares about the treatment and gave us a 90 day plan to make sure that we would no longer have a cockroach infestation. We also have a small puppy, so he made sure to explain to us that the stuff he used was safe. Overall, I really had a great experience with Gotham Pest Control!"

The men who come to do the services 3 times a year are fantastic!!!  They are polite, accommodating, eager to please and take care of each and every place in my home that could possibly cause problems.   I ask them to spray all the areas that could possibly become a problem area, and they check every bait box that had been placed throughout  my house, to see if there had been any recent activity.  They are eager to please and will go into the hot attic, or on their knees through the crawl space to make sure I have no "unwanted guests" living here.   The relief of knowing that they check everywhere and everything and find no new activity is very comforting!   I also know that if there is any problem or any sign of activity at any time during the year, all I have to do is call and they will be here to solve the problem.   I pay for 3 seasonal visits of service, but if there is a problem, they will come more often until the problem is solved.  The fact that they have always had superior workers every time they have been here speaks to the fact that this company is worthy of my high praise!    I have nothing but the highest praise for this company!

"I?m based in Montclair and had a really good experience with Inspect Pest Control. They were a huge help with both carpenter ants and termites, which had been stressing me out for a while. From the first visit, they were professional but also very easy to talk to. They explained what was going on in plain language and didn?t make it feel overwhelming. What I appreciated most was the communication?they actually kept me in the loop and followed up, which you don?t always get with companies like this. Overall, they made a tough situation a lot easier to deal with, and the results speak for themselves. I?d definitely recommend Inspect Pest Control if you?re dealing with pest issues."

"We had a mouse in our garage. Vinny was not only quick to respond, he was very knowledgeable, and within one day the mouse was caught. Vinny came back to check the traps and offered to come back again once we had the garage cleaned out to set new traps. Vinny gave us some good ideas about how to rodent proof our garage. He was very accessible via phone. We would highly recommend this company to anyone who had an issue with pests."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

It’s very uncommon for roaches to bite humans. Cockroaches don’t need humans for food and prefer to be elsewhere than on a living being. They have no poison or powerful pincers to cause any significant damage. However, in very bad infestations cockroaches have been known to search humans for dead skin cells, which leads to them nibbling around feet, hands, and eyelashes. They don’t cause any serious harm, but this is an easy way to spread the diseases cockroaches carry.

The cockroach most easily confused with water bugs is the Oriental cockroach, for several reasons. Their shape is most similar to a water bug, and they’re notorious for seeking out and living near water. If you capture one of these bugs close to a water supply, you can quickly tell if it’s an Oriental roach or a water bug. These roaches are a darker color, and they cannot fly, while water bugs are a lighter brown and can fly to escape.

Scorpions are repelled by strong scents like lavender, cedar, peppermint, and cinnamon. Applying essential oils of these scents mixed with water around your home's perimeter and entry points can act as a mild, chemical-free deterrent. In addition to scents, scorpions also tend to avoid well-lit areas, preferring to hide in dark, cool, and damp places during the day. However, it's important to note that these methods are not fully effective on their own and should be combined with other preventative efforts, such as sealing any potential entryways into your home.

Yes, wolves are generally afraid of humans, as well as most large carnivores, such as bears. The risk of a wolf attacking a human or killing them is very low. Biologists hypothesize that this fear was instilled over centuries of humans hunting wolves and the fact that humans have an upright posture like bears that wolves are also afraid of. Like all wildlife, it’s best not to feed wolves and keep them at a distance from yourself and your home. 

The houseplants that are prone to spider mites include English ivy, palms, philodendrons, calathea, and alocasia. Although spider mites can infest any indoor plant, they are more commonly drawn to the types listed above. If you have these in your home, pay special attention to them to help catch signs of infestation early.
