"I recently discovered yellow jackets inside my hose and found Exterminex Pest Control in my research of companies. They were very quick to respond to my questions and I saw the large number of excellent reviews, so I set up an appointment. When I set the appointment, I was told that if I received any quotes that beat theirs, to let them know. I was shocked, but it shows that they stand by their work and want to work with you. I actually received two other quotes that were less and they were more than happy to work with. Their work was fantastic, their communication was prompt and professional. They stand behind their services and have a great business practice. You cannot go wrong with them; I am glad I looked them up and worked with them"

"I’m writing this review about John Gumbus, a supervisor in the termite division of Suburban Exterminating because it’s important for Suburban customers and future customers to know what a truly dedicated, conscientious and knowledgeable professional he is. About a week ago I was having a bathroom painted when the painter showed me a large opening that he made in the wall because it felt damp. He said we had termites in the wood that was exposed. It was late in the day and after business hours so I contacted the area supervisor for pest control, Bill Zecca and asked if he new anyone who could help me at this hour. He gave me John’s contact information. I called John and told him I got to him from Bill. He said he was on vacation and before I could apologize for disturbing him he asked me to give him details of why I believed I had termites. He asked me a few questions and then explained why he didn’t think I had them. He then said to send him pictures to his Suburban email. He said he was out with his wife and would be home late, but he would call me. He called later that evening and said he had good news that we didn’t have termites, it was mold. He then went into a detailed explanation of how termites present themselves. He told me what the painter should do regarding the mold. He then said he had reviewed my account and said I should take advantage of the yearly termite inspection I’m entitled to as a Suburban customer. I took his advice and had Cesar, one of their experienced inspectors, do the inspection of my entire home. It was good news again, no termites. I have to reiterate, John Gumbus did all of this on his vacation and I truly appreciate his work ethic where he helped me, a Suburban customer that he did not personally know. Thank you, John."

"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

Most people can get rid of drain flies within a week as long as they remain persistent. This is especially important if you’re using a gentler method like vinegar or boiling water. Any eggs left behind can hatch, and the problem can start all over again. If you can’t get rid of the flies within a week or two, consider hiring a pro.

The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.

Because scorpions are active during the night, it can be hard to spot them—they are often hiding while you’re up and about. They could be hiding in holes in your walls, behind large appliances, under your bed, in your closet, or even inside your shoes. But, if you’ve seen one scorpion in your home, chances are there are more waiting in the darkness. If you’re on the hunt for scorpions in your home, invest in a UV light, as all scorpions will glow under UV rays.

Technically, yes, chinch bugs can fly. However you won’t usually see them in flight. Chinch bugs like to stick close to the ground and they usually move around by hopping or crawling (which is why they can be hard to see). Since they don’t get much chance at flying, they’re pretty bad at it and only fly for short distances—like to nearby yards.

Yes, professionals use humane and safe methods. Inform your provider of any specific concerns before treatment.
