"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 termite treatment gentleman, John, and the crew were very courteous and helpful in answering questions. They were very thorough with their inspections before and after. I don't think I would have gotten the same kind of services if I had gone to a big pest control house."

"I have had a great experience with Prestige Pest Services, I have used them for almost a year and will renew for another year. I use them for their quarterly pest management. They contact me every quarter to schedule the appointment. Their technician, Saul is always on time, very professional and thorough. He takes his time inspecting for pests, laying down different traps and baits and helps protect the interior and exterior with (safe) pesticides. I definitely recommend their services."

"I had a very positive experience with Heritage Pest Control, Inc. Jose, the inspector, arrived on time and was very thorough, informative, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire termite inspection process. He explained step by step what to expect, and the price was reasonable. From the initial contact to the follow-up inspection, the entire process was handled professionally. Chuck, the owner, was especially friendly and immediately understood the specific form I needed completed. I highly recommend this company. It is clear they have been in business for a long time and truly care about their customers. They made us feel like family."

"Eric was great! He replied promptly and was able to schedule the wasp removal the next day. He arrived when he said he would and called ahead to let us know he was on his way. The wasp issue has been taken care of and he guarantees his work for 90 days as well. Will definitely use Eric again for pest control needs."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

If the snakes in your yard are non-venomous species (like common Rat or Garter snakes), why not consider the live-and-let-live approach? Some benefits of not getting rid of snakes include:

  • They’re great at controlling disease-spreading rodent populations, including rats, mice, voles, and moles.

  • Some non-venomous species (like the common kingsnake) eat venomous species like rattlesnakes and copperheads.

  • Species like the garter snake keep down populations of garden pests like slugs and grasshoppers.

Wasps are aggressive to protect their nests. Although they are deemed aggressive, they only act that way when they feel their nests are threatened. They can also act aggressive when there is a lack of food available. Most wasps will leave you alone if you stay clear of their nests.

Luckily, spiders rarely “infest” a home like many other pests. They don’t tend to live in groups except when first born, and prefer their space. But you can prevent them from gaining entry by making sure your home is well-sealed and free of other insects. You can also lay down barrier sprays or powders designed to repel or kill spiders. Professionals can also lay down these barriers to prevent future spider problems.

Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. 

Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.
