"Very knowledgeable and concerned for customers issue. Removed 2 skunks with concern for animals well being went over and above just removing animals and checked places he thought they were making shine. Was prompt when I called to report a trapping. Was very friendly. Reasonable price compared to others. Will hire again in future."
"I had to call Craig Thomas Pest Control 4 times and each time I called I spoke to a different person. It seems I was reaching a call center each time. This was a problem because I needed to cancel the appointment I had made with them. When I called to do so I ended up speaking to a different individual than the one that scheduled my appointment. To avoid any miscommunication I called Craig Thomas twice to make sure the appointment was cancelled. I then made an appointment with another local provider who had very good Angie's list reviews. The problem was Craig Thomas Pest Control's scheduling department is very disorganized. They failed to cancel the appointment and a technician arrived at my house anyway. This was awkward because I had scheduled another local provider for the same time. Unfortunately the Craig Thomas technician arrived before my preferred provider arrived without giving me a courtesy call to let me know he was on his way for an appointment that didn't really exist! The other local provider being a fair and professional individual offered to come in and use his digital heat sensor device to locate the bee hive in the wall of our bedroom. He did this free of charge and thank goodness he did because the Craig Thomas technician's method of investigation was to put his ear up against the wall and listen. The Craig Thomas ear against the wall method unfortunately was ineffective at locating the beehive. If the other local provider had not been there I don't know how this appointment would have turned out...not very good I'm guessing. The technician from Craig Thomas was respectful and professional and after the other local provider located the beehive the Craig Thomas technician did complete the chemical application. I don't blame the Craig Thomas technician because he was just doing his job in the way that he was trained or instructed to so by Craig Thomas. But I would not use Craig Thomas again in the future. I will instead use that other local provider with the digital heat sensor device and easy scheduling. "
"Matt and Brian, our VerminX reps were cordial, well informed and did incredible work to eliminate the possibility of mice thinking our basement was an Air BnB destination. Great attention to detail. A+ from start to finish!"
"Very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Did a very thorough job not only excluding for the squirrels, but cleaning up as well. Highly recommend!"
"Still in the process of getting rid of the possums and possible raccoons. However, my overall experience is GREAT! The staff is very knowledgeable and answered each of my questions without hesitation. Certainly would call them again if needed. I've already recommended them to other family members. Thank you Wildlife Management!"
Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
Yes, sleeping in your house after receiving a pest control application should be no issue, but the best course of action is to wait for the treatment to dry completely. The drying process takes a few hours. Some treatments, such as fumigation, may require a longer drying time, so be sure to ask the technician what drying time you can expect.
Hiring a professional house cleaner costs between $120 and $240 per visit. Most homeowners can expect to pay an average of $170 for a cleaning and disinfecting service. House cleaning services may include disinfection of high-touch surfaces, but it’s best to ask your cleaner to be sure it’s included in their services.
If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media.
If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter’s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you.
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.
