"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"

"We discovered bees burrowing in our home and found Suburban Pest on Angie's List. They had great reviews so we hired them. They came out the very next day and quite efficiently treated the problem. The service person was polite, knowledgeable and professional. The whole process took less than 30 minutes, and they even gave us a discount for using Angie's List!"

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

While many pests like rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can damage your home, termites are among the most destructive. By sheer dollar amount, the damage from a bad termite infestation is unparalleled, as they can ruin walls, floors, roofs, and wooden support materials, potentially requiring massive reconstruction. Other highly destructive pests include rodents, carpenter ants, and bees that build hives within walls. If you spot signs of termites or other pests, you should hire an exterminator immediately.

Various mites can cause health problems for people and pets, such as allergies, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. Some mites, like scabies and chiggers, can transmit diseases or bacterial infections. Other types, such as dust, mold, and spider mites, also pose risks. Spider mites, for example, can quickly spread to and damage houseplants. It is best to eradicate any type of mite from your home and seek medical care if you experience symptoms.

There's anecdotal evidence that apple cider vinegar does help to repel mice. But the best way to repel mice is to keep your home scrupulously clean and seal up any obvious entry points. If you already have a mouse infestation, apple cider vinegar won’t get rid of the critters. It’s usually worth the cost of professional pest control to make sure a serious mouse problem is eradicated completely.

The time of day that most snakes are active is at night. This is when they prefer to hunt since they can do so under the cover of darkness, out of sight of predators and the prey they stalk. However, some snake species prefer very hot temperatures and are strictly active during the day.

Hawks might seem like fearless predators, but these smart birds do know what other animals to be cautious around. Hawks are naturally wary of humans and predators that see them or their eggs as a potential meal or threat. This list includes owls, crows, eagles, and even snakes or raccoons.
