"I finally called John, the owner of Kapture Pest Control and he took care of the problem quickly. Evans, the technician came over within a day or so, and treated the outside of the house and also the kitchen where the ants had decided to move in. Most all were gone within 2 weeks but they did return for another application and I am glad to say the ants have disappeared. The owner was very accommodating and price was reasonable and the service was excellent."

"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!"

"Absolutely top notch service you will receive from Inspect Pest Control everytime. The technician Justin is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable in the pest control field. I had a queen bee trying to nest in my house and Justin took care of it with ease. A queen bee selfie was captured see photo. Justin not only addressed the bee problem from today but also eliminated the ants and mice issues I had from a previou visit as well. I highly recommend Jusin and Inspect Pest Control for any pest issues you have. They consistently deliver top quality customer service and product to address your pest problem. Thanks again!"

"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."

"Just had Mike from UltraPro Pest Protection of Paramus come over and he took care of this bald-faced hornets nest for us. UltraPro and especially Mike Suriano were very responsive and got the whole nest, along with the queen taken care of and out of our pine treeð ² and backyard in short order. I highly recommend UltraPro Pest Protection for all your extermination and pest control needs! â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Setting up an animal trap in your yard largely depends on where you live and the type of critter you're dealing with. In many states, trapping nuisance animals like squirrels, rats, or raccoons is allowed, sometimes without needing a permit. However, certain wildlife species are protected, and not all states have lenient catch-and-release regulations.

Before placing a trap, check your local laws to avoid fines or other legal issues. Some areas allow DIY trapping, while others may require professional assistance. Most areas require a professional to relocate the animal once trapped. Consulting a pro ensures you handle the situation responsibly, humanely, and within the law.

It’s very rare to find mice in a bed frame or mattress outside of the most extreme infestation scenarios. That said, your bedroom isn’t off limits for mice if it offers them shelter, food, and warmth. Look for any gaps or openings a mouse could squeeze into, and don’t keep food in your bedroom. 

The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
