Our home is probably the largest investment that most of us will ever make. Let Pointe help safeguard this investment from pesky invaders and damaging pests. With our exclusive PointeGuard Exterior Protection and our PinPointe Interior Service, our highly trained and certified specialists will create a pest free sanctuary for you and your family. \n\nBotanical pest control - environmentally friendly ecosmart\n \nAs part of our continuing commitment to leaving a minimal impact on our environment, we are proud to offer our botanical EcoSmart product line. \n Unique and Patented Mode-Of-Action \n \n EcoSMART�s plant oil active ingredients target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site called octopamine, which is found only in invertebrates (i.e. insects).\n \n Unprecedented margin-of-safety\n \n Mammals do not have receptors for Octopamine, so EcoSMART�s plant oils have no adverse effect on them. Additionally, many of the plant oils used are classified as �Generally Recognized As Safe� (GRAS) and/or are approved for food and beverage consumption by the U.S. FDA. \n \n Effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests\n \n EcoSMART�s products provide quick knockdown and control against a wide variety of indoor and outdoor pests.\n \n Attractive fragrances\n \n Because the active ingredient is comprised of plant essential oils, there may be a �floral/botanical� fragrance associated with some of EcoSMART�s products. This fragrance is not harmful and will dissipate after a short period of time.\n\n Customer satisfaction or its free! If we do not provide a service to your level of satisfaction, we will promptly return for free until you are satisfied. If the problem persists, we will refund your last service payment.\n\n\nMake the switch to Pointe and find out what others already know; that nobody takes care of their customers like Pointe. Nobody!\n

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.

While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans. 

Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.

It’s normal to spot the occasional ant roaming your house, but if you’ve applied DIY treatments that don’t eradicate the problem, you should consider hiring a professional ant removal service. You should also be concerned about an ant infestation when these pests cause structural damage to your home by tunneling into wood features.

There’s little scientific evidence to suggest that homemade remedies to ward off wildlife are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won’t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.

Rats are attracted to homes that provide food, water, and shelter. Common attractants include uncovered garbage, pet food left out overnight, crumbs and food spills, and easily accessible pantries. They’re also lured in by leaky pipes, standing water, and cluttered areas like basements or garages. Outdoor factors such as overgrown vegetation or woodpiles near the foundation can create additional nesting opportunities.
