"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

You’ll find that phorid fly larvae breed in moist, decaying, organic matter. When trying to locate a breeding site, thoroughly inspect the following places in your home: drain pipes, trash cans, garbage disposal, pet waste, rotting produce, plants, compost bins, and even under appliances like the stove and refrigerator where moist food may have dropped. It’s also possible for a breeding site to form inside of a wall, crawl space, or under your home’s foundation.

Carpenter ants can go away on their own if their food source is eliminated, but this could take weeks or months. If you have an infestation on your hands, carpenter ants need to be treated by pesticides from a licensed professional in order to go away as soon as possible.

The most widely touted method for removing fruit flies is the combination of apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Since the soap causes the flies to sink, you can leave this trap open for maximum potency and easy fly access.

Yes, sleeping in your house after receiving a pest control application should be no issue, but the best course of action is to wait for the treatment to dry completely. The drying process takes a few hours. Some treatments, such as fumigation, may require a longer drying time, so be sure to ask the technician what drying time you can expect.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.
