"After Healthy Homes did such a great job on my rental apartment, decided to see if they could help me with the cigarette smell in my car. Was sold a small handheld fog machine and some Un-Odor product. Fogged the entire interior of my vehicle, sprayed the product on all surfaces. After washing the windows with Windex and wiping everything down with a dry towel, the car was free from odor and looked and smelled clean and fresh! Fantastic Products!!!"

"Professional & efficient. Started with a certified arborist coming out for inspection, and providing an estimate of work to be performed. Total cost was comparable to other estimates I had gotten. Prior to crew coming out, separate company came out to mark utility lines on lawn in the area of the tree work to be performed. A week to two weeks later, crew of 3 came and took down the very large ash tree, and hauled it off. Stump grinding was handled immediately afterwards."

"First of all, on a positive note Jack was friendly and personable. Also, Jack's prices are much more reasonable than many other WNY services. Jack receives a mixed review as our experience with him had some hits and misses. He gets a B for setting up a trap on the exterior of the home to encourage the racoon/squirrel to escape. Jack installed a metal grill over the former opening in the soffit. However, Jack gets a D for what happened soon after. When we explained there were still squirrels in the attic after Jack installed a metal grate over the opening, rather than investigating the attic or setting up traps inside the attic, Jack dismissed this idea and the possibility squirrels could be in the attic and simply explained there was no way they could get in. Soon after, the squirrel(s) which were trapped in the attic chewed through the exterior soffit to escape, resulting in further costly repairs. When we inquired if Jack would help alleviate the cost of these repairs, we received no response."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.

Most spiders are harmless and are more interested in finding and eating insects than trying to bite you or your family members. Certain spiders in your home may be advantageous if you have an issue with insects. Most spiders are non-venomous and have small mouths, so even if they did bite you, it wouldn’t be enough to cause any harm.

However, some species of spiders can cause harm if you are a victim of their spider bite, including the black widow and brown recluse varieties. Both species’ venom is poisonous, and you should seek medical help if bitten.

Unless foxes are a major threat or nuisance, living peacefully alongside them is often better. Reclusive foxes are rarely a risk to humans, and they can help keep rodent populations at bay and boost biodiversity in your yard. Plus, if you are a wildlife lover, there is the simple privilege and pleasure of watching a fox family interact right on your doorstep.

Squirrels follow a diurnal routine like humans, remaining quiet at night because they sleep. Homeowners concerned about squirrels in their homes are more likely to hear these critters in the early morning when they awaken, eager to start their day and search for sustenance. As the sun sets, squirrels wrap up their daily endeavors and return to their cozy nests for the night's rest.

While you might want to cut corners by either borrowing or purchasing used live traps for catching rats, this can be dangerous because those traps could contain leftover viruses and bacteria that will enter your home. Always start fresh with new materials to avoid contamination.
