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.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

Noting any signs of pests around the home
Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access
Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas

Some people find that treating their yards with natural substances can help to repel ticks. In fact, pest extermination companies often offer all-natural lawn treatments to repel ticks.

Simply spray this solution over and around the locations you expect mice to be living and running through, and the homemade disinfectant will do its job to rid your home of any feces and urine particles you could be exposed to.

Unfortunately, we do. Bed bugs sense our heat signature, particularly the altered heat signature associated with sleep, and exit their hiding spots to feast.
