"Fast friendly knowledgeable complete pest control in one day. Thanks, guys! The wasps and the rest of the bugs appear to have moved out. We are free to live here again without bites stings and mystery buzzing in our ears especially when sitting on the back deck. Nice not have to get up and run or spill my coffee trying to get away from whatever crawling flying insect that decided to invade my life. Can not forget Bennett!!. He is the reason we followed through with this company. Thank you, Bennett and Jerome."

Customers say: Quick response

"Had a great experience working with Ed Hogan! Ed was responsive from the first moment he received notice that I had a woodchuck that needed to be removed. We scheduled a time for him to come to the house, trap was set, and I was instructed to call once the woodchucl was caught. Took a couple day, but we caught the woodchuck! When I telephoned Ed of our success, I left a message which he called back within 5 minutes. He was at my house within the hour to retrieve his trap, woodchuck and accessories. I would highly recommend Ed for any work, if you need to remove an unwanted animal. Lastly, he was resonably priced! Thank you Ed for your expertise and professionalism!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.

Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.

To freeze bed bugs, they’ll need to be exposed to very low temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for at least 4 days. You can use a remote thermostat to determine when the infested item reaches 0 degrees. Keep in mind that bed bug professionals have the high-quality tools and equipment needed to eradicate bugs using extreme cold, so it’s best to hire a pro for this method.

A single bed bug bites multiple times throughout one night until full, but then takes a break for a week or so to digest. However, the more bugs present, the more likely you get bit every night. Tracking how often you get bit is a good way to approximate the size of the infestation.
