"Had a great experience with Gernatt Pest Solutions! Ben came out quickly and took care of a wasp and ant problem we were dealing with. Super professional, friendly, and thorough ? we haven?t had any issues since. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable pest control!"
"We seemed to get a bat in the house once a year, but we recently had 4 bats in the house in about a year. Brian Wulf concluded they were hibernating in my attic. The project started as the coronavirus pandemic began and that delayed things, but he installed excluders (one-way doors) and came back in September to remove them and seal up the openings. I haven't seen or heard a bat since his first visit and we can now sleep soundly again ... except for the dogs in our bed."

Spiders love dark, quiet, and protected places, especially when it comes to laying their eggs. Egg sacs are hidden in small webs that you may find in rarely-used wall corners and ceilings. Spiders are somewhat more likely to lay egg sacs against a house or inside a home to preserve them from the elements. These egg sacs are very durable and can hatch in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
Yes, mulch can attract pests. Spiders, centipedes, and ants are some common pests that are attracted to mulch. You can avoid infestation by laying your bags of mulch in the heat for a few hours or by using an inorganic mulch, as it’s less attractive to pests.
A rat nest often looks like a messy, loosely formed pile hidden in a quiet spot. It may appear as a ball-shaped cluster or just a scattered heap made from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, leaves, twigs, and other soft materials. Rats gather whatever they can find nearby to build their nests, often tucking them away in walls, attics, or behind appliances for warmth and safety.
Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.
