"Jon answered my text/call very quickly and have an exact time he can squeeze me into the schedule. Heâ s taken care of a few issues, crickets and carpenter ants and the problem has gone away. He keeps up to date with me ensuring his efforts were successful and gives good recommendations for standard pest control throughout the house as he sees fit. Many things of which he pointed out and I did not realize were critter outlets! A+ service and good priced compared to big name companies. You get the customer care and informative exterminator. Call B&m!"

"I called E&G Exterminators because we had yellow jacket bees in our house. I called and they came out right away. Their technician, Marco, was very polite and professional. The bees got in where the brick and the siding meet in the front of the house and ate their way through the wall. Over 500 yellow jackets killed."

"My house is under contract for sale this month and I had to remove several bee hives in the attic crawl space per the buyer's inspection report. I found Paul at Rid-A-Bug on HomeAdvisor today and he called me back within an hour. He said he could come to my house today to get the job done at a very reasonable price compared to other larger pest control companies. Paul arrived at my house on time, cleaned out the bee hives (which was a fairly risky job), and charged me a reasonable rate with a quality guarantee. He was professional, honest, transparent, and timely. I would recommend him to anyone."

"The actual gutter cleaning itself was top notch. When the cleaners left, they put a message on my door indicating that I have an issue with my roof. I called customer service and was greeted by a high-pressure salesman. They wanted to spray my roof down with a cleaner for $650 to "control organic matter buildup". I almost laughed at the salesman. I live in the Southeastern Forest. Organic matter... really? This felt too much like an attempt at a money grab. Their customer service is nice enough but their aggressive sales tactics are a turn off. I will look for smaller businesses in the future."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

While you might want to cut corners by either borrowing or purchasing used live traps for catching rats, this can be dangerous because those traps could contain leftover viruses and bacteria that will enter your home. Always start fresh with new materials to avoid contamination.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

  • Raccoons

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Mice

  • Rats

Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.

Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it’s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they’re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.

A rat nest often looks like a messy, loosely formed pile hidden in a quiet spot. It may appear as a ball-shaped cluster or just a scattered heap made from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, leaves, twigs, and other soft materials. Rats gather whatever they can find nearby to build their nests, often tucking them away in walls, attics, or behind appliances for warmth and safety.
