"Ben was thorough and knowledgable. He eradicated our yellow jacket problem. He was punctual and efficient. It was so nice to have a yard we could enjoy without all the nasty insects! I highly recommend his pest control company."

"Brian quickly contacted us after I called HomeAdvisors for help. That same day he came over to analyze the situation. He said he thought we had a raccoon in our attic and proceeded to find a way to get him out. He set a trap, and the next morning we had a raccoon in the trap. I can't tell you how grateful we were to know that she was caught and we wouldn't have to contend with all the noise she made each evening let alone the damage. Brian was very personable and professional and he explained each method he was using. He came out to the house four days in a row to make sure all was going well and he finalized the job by repairing and covering the hole on our roof. I would recommend him in a minute. Can't say thankful enough. JoAnn Lewandowski"

"For my follow-up visit today, technician Ryan Gajewski came out. He was one of the BEST servicemen I've ever had, for any type of repair or service. He took the time to listen, answer my questions, help me understand the process, and give me professional advice - all after his regular day of stops, as mine was considered an "emergency stop"! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing service from Suburban Pest Control (I'm sure their other technicians are also good & professional). Ryan G was wonderful - I was blessed that he was the one who came out today, and after a most stressful day of dealing with my pest issue, he left me feeling very at peace based on the work he did!"

"Had a problem with "VOLES" in my lawn. Tunnels, holes, turf dug up. Johnston Pest Control solved the issue the next day. They bated in areas showing vole presence, checked back promptly next couple days and removed the problem. No more voles in yard."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Spiders have lots of scent-sensitive hairs on their legs. Scented oils they aren’t fans of can act as a natural spider repellent to help keep their populations at bay when you rub them around your home’s entry points. Studies suggest mint and chestnut oils are two scents that spiders hate.

When looking for natural roach repellent options, citrus, bay leaves, cucumber, garlic, and catnip may all help to keep cockroaches away. When an infestation requires a bigger intervention, boric acid, baking soda, diatomaceous earth (DE), and soap mixed with water are all considered natural and nontoxic roach treatments.

Bleach, which can kill drain flies, can also kill fruit flies, but it’s better to lure fruit flies to a liquid rather than applying chemicals, as it’s very difficult to reach them all. A more practical approach is to lure fruit flies with traps made from liquids like apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap. This method is safer and more efficient, since it targets a larger number of fruit flies without relying on harsh chemicals that may not reach all the pests.

Yes, stink bugs can play dead. Stink bugs don’t just release bad odors, they have a defense mechanism to pretend to be dead, even when flicked over and swept into a trash bin. That’s how stink bugs may keep coming back even if you thought you got rid of them.

Spotting a single scorpion in the home doesn’t mean you have a full-blown infestation, but it does mean there’s a way for them to get inside. Other scorpions could easily use the same method, like entering through an air vent, as these arachnids are social creatures that tend to live in groups. If you see a baby scorpion, however, that likely indicates a nest somewhere in the home. This is also true if you spot a scorpion with an infant on its back.
