"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"

"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."

"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!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

A combination of traps, baits, and exclusion techniques effectively manage rodent populations.

Brown recluse spiders are attracted to homes and properties in search of shelter and food. Key attractants include a steady supply of insects, which are their primary food source. Consequently, things that attract other bugs, like food left out or poorly sealed trash cans, will also indirectly attract spiders. They also seek warm, dry, dark spots with nooks and crannies for nesting, such as untended wood piles, dirt piles, and cardboard boxes. Additionally, excessive outdoor lighting can attract insects, which in turn draws in spiders.

There isn’t one best type of trap for an armadillo. However, Havahart and Tomahawk live wire cages are popular two-door brands commonly used for armadillos. One study suggests wooden traps with armadillo scent on them can increase the chance of success. It’s worth inquiring whether your local wildlife extension has scented traps or wire types available for rent.

While there are many types of wood-eating pests, the most common one in the United States is termites. They are found in every state and are typically worse in warm and humid climates. They cause billions of dollars in damage every year, which is why it’s vital that homeowners address infestations as soon as possible.

No, you should never vacuum or sweep up mouse or rat droppings, as doing so can release harmful particles into the air and increase your risk of disease exposure. Instead, wear gloves and a mask, spray the droppings with a disinfectant spray, let it soak for a few minutes, and then carefully wipe them up with paper towels. Afterward, disinfect the area thoroughly and immediately wash your hands when you’re done.
