"I would recommend EZ Pest Mgt for any bug or pest problem. Marc contacted me almost immediately and was able to come today. He arrived on time and performed a full inspection. His rate was very reasonable and he was able to lay traps, plug access points and clean up rodent waste. Even my dog thought he was a pretty good guy."

"Suburban was honest and told me the tubes belonged to some kind of bee. They easily could have hooked me into one of their termite contracts that I didn't need. I did renew my carpenter ant contract with them even though they seem to have completely eliminated that problem at my house a couple of years ago. These guys are top notch."

"Iâ ve been using Alternative Earthcare for tick and mosquito control for several years now. I have woods in my yard and could never take my grandchildren outside during the day without being attacked by mosquitoes. Now we can be outside without seeing one insect. Andy and staff have been great to work with. Highly recommend"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It’s an age-old and terrifying question: Can rats come through the toilet? The answer, unfortunately, is yes; however, it’s extremely rare. In the very unlikely case that this happens, it’s usually the result of rats from the sewer making their way into home plumbing pipes and up into the toilet. 

Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to Pennsylvania State University, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren’t scientifically proven effective.

Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don’t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments. Queen termites can lay up to thousands of eggs per day, meaning these pests can spread quickly. You may need to combine DIY treatments and professional extermination services to get rid of a termite infestation.

Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it’s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.

It’s very rare that home insurance covers an exterminator. Pest problems aren’t covered under standard home insurance. They’re typically considered ongoing events that could have been prevented, which makes them ineligible. Some insurance companies will specifically ban termite and rodent services because costs can be high. However, a sudden and unstoppable infestation, especially one that resulted because of a sudden event like storm, may be covered. Call your insurance company and ask about the details if you aren’t sure.
