"Everything was explained satisfactorily. This was our first experience with pest control, so we were apprehensive at first. It's early for carpenter ants to appear so we got on top of it right away. let's see if the treatment works in the ant's busy season. Was a bit disappointed that no one followed up with a phone call to see how we were doing."

"Very friendly tech came to examine our house. He was really late, but this did not matter - lost his way. The cost was way beyond what we are willing to pay for pest control (over $1000) but we do have a fairly problematic carpenter bee problem."

Each service visit is $75.  In July  2014, I 2 guests, staying in the guestroom.  When we turned on the thermostat, the living room was cooled.  When we turned on the thermostat in the living room, it too was cooled.  No cooling was present in the guest room.  I realized that the previous serviceman sent by the now defunct Colonial Home Warranty mis-wired the damper control.  AHS refused to send a company working on the damper control, but insisted on sending a company which does not do such work. I was charged $75 for a service call.  This company recommended another company which does damper control work.  The second company came and fixed the wiring problem in 5 minutes, charging me another $75 service fee.  Their regular service call, without home warranty is $85.   

If you  need a/c work, beware that AHS pays only $10 per lb of Freon, while most AC repair companies charge around $50/lb.

Last spring, my dishwasher would not let water in.  The repairman came for 5 minutes and declared that the water shut off switch was slightly sticky.  The deductible was again $75.


I spent a lot of time checking up on various  Home Warranty companies and have not been able to come up with a good company.  I have decided to go without Home Warranty after 2 top ac repair companies assure me that my HVAC will not be out of order in the next couple of years, if I do proper maintenance.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:

  • Lavender

  • Citronella

  • Eucalyptus

  • Cinnamon

  • Thyme

Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.

Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.

You’re not likely to find water bugs in your house. They may accidentally come in an open door when flying, especially since they are attracted to lights. But water bugs tend to stay stationary in bodies of water. You’re much more likely to see a roach in your home, not a water bug.

When baiting an iguana trap, several items should be avoided. Do not use poisonous baits, such as those intended for rats or mice. This practice is often illegal, is unlikely to attract iguanas, and poses a significant risk to pets or other wildlife. Additionally, avoid using herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are toxic to iguanas, such as fresh sage, rosemary, avocados, and eggplants. While ripe fruit can be an effective bait, be sure to remove any pits or seeds from fruits like apples, pears, and peaches, as they are highly toxic. Finally, steer clear of citrus fruits, which act as a natural deterrent.

The cost to hire an exterminator or pest control service is $175 on average, with typical costs ranging from $100 to $500. However, you could spend more depending on several factors, including the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of visits required.

Service costs also vary by frequency:

• One-time service: $300–$550

• Initial visit with ongoing service: $150–$300

• Monthly visits: $40–$70

• Quarterly visits: $100–$300

• Annual visits: $300–$550

The type of pest significantly impacts the price. For example, exterminating spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, while a termite problem can range from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage. Routine pest control services can help prevent future infestations and costly damage to your home.
