Q: How do I find a reputable flea exterminator?

• <div><p>You can find a reputable flea exterminator by vetting qualified pest control professionals in your area, interviewing multiple pros to find the right one. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dont-get-stung-these-pest-control-scams.htm">Avoid pest control scams</a> by selecting an experienced and insured professional. Licensing is usually required when applying flea-related pesticides, although exact requirements vary by state, and a good exterminator will be happy to show you copies of their certification.</p></div>

Q: What attracts woodpeckers?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.</p></div>

Q: What scents will keep foxes away?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s little scientific evidence to suggest that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-remedies-ward-wildlife.htm">homemade remedies to ward off wildlife</a> are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to fully get rid of a roach infestation?

• <div><p>Although it takes time and possibly multiple treatments, roaches can be eradicated from your home. However, they can return if the conditions are right. That&rsquo;s why taking the steps to prevent an infestation is key. You may also want to discuss preventative pest control treatments with your exterminator. That way, you can reduce the risk of another infestation. </p></div>

Q: What does a termite infestation look like?

• <div><p>There are some clear signs of a termite infestation, including damaged drywall, bubbling under paint, peeling paint, sagging or loose boards, and more. Termites typically leave behind a trail on the surface and interior of your drywall as they chew through it. Look for small, pin-sized holes in drywall or wallpaper to determine whether termites have made their way inside. </p></div>

Brandon was the biggest help in finding us the right system for our house. His pricing was very fair for the amount of work he done. And it comes with a maintenance plan so I don't have to worry about the HVAC in this house for two years. Any issues I call Brandon and he's here to help.

Friendly owner, good service. My only negative is that appointments are not made in advance, they just send an invoice for services performed. They should have you agree to a service date and provide proof of service. Overall happy with a pest free home at a reasonable price.
