"I had what wound up being a big project, a house built in 1955 on 4 acres with a cinder block foundation and roof ridgeline with many entry points. I called on a Saturday and left a message and one of the principals of the company called me on Sunday to ask me about the problem and make an appointment for one of their people to visit and assess the situation. He came (on time) two days later and spent over an hour crawling over every square inch of the house to see the extent of our infestation and made a recommendation. I called around to a few of the nationally recognized pest control businesses and all they wanted was a credit card number to come out for a visit and put us on a monthly program of traps and visitation that I figured would go on for a lifetime. We hired VerminX. They took three days to complete the work. They had 4-5 people on the job, all courteous and knowledgeable. They taped off the work area 100% and when they left there was no dust anywhere outside the work area. They've been back two times already to check on the traps they left behind and to assure that no more critters were able to get in. If you call and leave a message, they're back to you within no more than an hour or so, even on weekends. I'd highly recommend these folks."

"This was an emergency and it was treated like one by Langdon and his team of workers. These gentleman arrived within minutes, after quickly returning my call. My family and I were up all night with a bat flying around and we were very frightened and panicked. (We had never experienced this before.) Paul and Matt arrived and they were quick to remedy the problem! I was very impressed and we were SO relieved!! They explained the type of bat that this was and their behavior during this time of the year. They checked the whole perimeter of the house (inside & out) and pointed out areas of potential problems if not treated/sealed. They were NOT pushy or trying to sell anything. Just being very informative and they answered all of our questions. TOP NOTCH GENTLEMEN! ** LANGDON, PAUL and MATT ** - THANK YOU !!!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is generally safe to return to your house once the pest control professionals have granted permission. Keep in mind that you’ll only need to evacuate your home during extreme pest control treatments, such as whole-home fumigation, while more minor treatments don’t require leaving. When you return home, be sure to follow the pest pro’s instructions carefully, especially those surrounding wait times and safety precautions.

No, poison isn’t the best way to deal with animals in your attic. It’s unlikely to completely eradicate the problem, especially if you don’t take care of access points. Also, poisoned animals may die and decay in the attic, causing noxious odors. 

Some animals may leave the attic before the poison kills them, which could lead to nearby pets or other wildlife eating the animals and becoming poisoned themselves. Ultimately, it’s better to avoid using poison and contact a professional instead.

Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.

A flea can live as long as 100 days when it has a live host to feed on. They tend to live a much shorter life when they’re on a short-haired dog or cat versus a pet with longer hair. Without a host, fleas will typically only survive for about one to two weeks.

Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don’t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won’t leave, it’s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.
