"Kapture Pest Control did a great job fixing our wasp problem. We had wasps in our gutter and siding. Kapture Pest Control came quickly and was able to treat the issue on the spot and we immediately see decreased activity. They returned for follow up a week later because we still had minor activity and now all the wasps are completely gone. They were very professional and caring and made sure the problem was completely solved to our satisfaction. Thanks for the great service!"

"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."

"So glad I found these guy (Nugo) and used them. I have multiple rentals, which had pest problems like mice,Squirrels and more. They come took care of it and within days the problems were gone. In the past I used other company s orkin and Viking and they never got rid of the issue yet I was paying them for a whole year. With U.S. Bird Control it only took one visit. I Highly recommend this company. Very knowledgeable and honest."

"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."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The cost of pest control services depends on various factors, but the average homeowner pays around $175, with a typical range of $100 to $500. Your final cost will be influenced by the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of treatments needed.

Service costs also vary by frequency:

  • One-time service: $300–$550

  • Initial visit for ongoing service: $150–$300

  • Monthly visits: $40–$70

  • Quarterly visits: $100–$300

  • Annual visits: $300–$550

For specific pest examples, getting rid of spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, whereas a termite infestation can cost from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage.

While the term “gnat” is often used as a blanket term for tiny flying insects like fungus gnats and fruit flies, they are different insects. The primary distinctions are in their appearance, diet, and habitat. Fungus gnats are typically darker (gray or black) with long legs and are attracted to damp soil and decaying plant matter, often living in houseplants. In contrast, fruit flies are lighter in color (tan) with shorter legs and are drawn to overripe fruit, high-fructose organic substances, and other sweet materials.

The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals.

You should not see live bed bugs after heat or fumigation treatments, but you may see dead bugs. For chemical treatments, it can take several days for bed bugs to die. However, you may see live bed bugs if they are hiding in areas to avoid insecticides or if they are resilient to the type of treatment used. 

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.
