"For my follow-up visit today, technician Ryan Gajewski came out. He was one of the BEST servicemen I've ever had, for any type of repair or service. He took the time to listen, answer my questions, help me understand the process, and give me professional advice - all after his regular day of stops, as mine was considered an "emergency stop"! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing service from Suburban Pest Control (I'm sure their other technicians are also good & professional). Ryan G was wonderful - I was blessed that he was the one who came out today, and after a most stressful day of dealing with my pest issue, he left me feeling very at peace based on the work he did!"
"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."
Don’t count on squirrels leaving on their own. Squirrels like the safety that a cozy attic provides and won’t be in a hurry to leave, especially if they’ve recently given birth to a litter. It’s best to address the situation with DIY removal tactics or hire a squirrel removal pro as soon as you suspect squirrels are living in your attic.
DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.
Rat poison is dyed bright colors like blue, green, or pink. This will allow you to easily identify bait and is intended to prevent accidental ingestion.
Brown recluse spiders are attracted to homes in search of warm, dry, and dark spots that provide easy access to insects. An existing bug problem is a primary attractant, as spiders follow their food source. Other factors that attract brown recluse spiders include the presence of anything that might lure insects, such as food left out or poorly sealed trash cans. They are also drawn to excessive outdoor lighting, untended wood or cardboard boxes, and dark areas with nooks and crannies for nesting, like woodpiles or dirt piles.
You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.
