"Both Rick, (the first tech) and Jose, (the second tech) came on different days, (2 weeks apart) to survey, bait, inspect and plug up holes. The bait that Rick laid out would make the rodents sick and die after two days (outside of my house) so they wouldn't perish inside my walls or pipes to smell.  
Two weeks later, Jose came by, inspected the baits traps for any disturbances, (which there were not).  We only had one rodent per year.  But that was enough for us.  -LOL!  Then, he plugged up all the exterior holes with a very coarse steel wool material which would severely hurt any potential subsequent rodents should they try to gain access.  
Both technicians were courteous, patient with our questions, educated us on rodent activity, and Heritage Pest Control practices. We were very happy with their service!

"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 questions, answered by experts

Paper wasps look similar to other wasps, like yellow jackets. They have narrow, but not thread-like, waists with black or brown bodies and yellow colorations. You can better identify paper wasps by their nests, which are made with regurgitated wood pulp. The nests look like they are made from paper and usually have visible hexagonal holes, like a honeybee hive.

They build their nests in places like eaves or branches, and their removal more often warrants the help of a wasp control specialist near you.

Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.

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.

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.

A temperature of 131 degrees Fahrenheit for 72 minutes will kill bed bugs. Research suggests several different ranges, but many suggest starting at 120 degrees Fahrenheit and maintaining that heat for at least two hours. Steam cleaning is an exception because steam comes so hot it can quickly kill bed bugs and their eggs, making it a good option for fast extermination.
