"I had a momma raccoon and 4 kits in my attic. Ed did the work. He gave me same day service. Within 10 seconds of inspecting outside of my home he found mommas access location inside my attic. Momma and 3 kits have been removed and are on their way in Edâ s truck to a good outside home in the wild. Ed also installed metal screens to the vents on the north and south side of my house just below the peak of my roof. He also repaired the slats on each vent. We figure early April momma climbed up a downspout of my rain gutter, then climbed the roof to the peak and entered through the vent by pushing through the slats. She delivered her kits up there 6-7 weeks ago. I knew of none of this until several days ago when I heard movement in the attic. The 4th kit escaped Ed. My attic has flooring you can walk on only at the top of the stairs thst pull down. 90% of my attic is very thin material that canâ t support a person walking on it and has a very deep application of blown insulation on it. The 4th kit is hiding in there somewhere. Ed left momma and the 3 captured kits in a cage at the top of the stairs overnight hoping the 4 th kit would come hang out there and he could capture it. No such luck, itâ s still hiding in a sea of insulation. Ed has packed up and left, I paid him in full. If I hear the kit moving in the next few days Iâ m to call Ed and heâ ll come back. If not within a week or so it will expire. Ed is a good man, very professional and absolutely knows critters and how to rid your house of them. His price was considerably less than Iâ d have paid a company. Lastly - my girlfriend does not trust strangers. She became comfortable with Ed. That is high praise."

"Terminix was quick to respond and to get out here for a termite inspection, which is what we needed. However, they signed us up for pest control and said their agent would be out to care for us right away. So far haven’t seen him yet. Will give 5 stars if that turns out well."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

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.

Roaches have a strong sense of smell and are repelled by a variety of potent aromas. Scents that can help deter them include citrus (such as lemon and orange), herbs like peppermint, mint, basil, thyme, and oregano, spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, clove, and garlic, as well as lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree oil, and vinegar.

You can use these scents in several ways to create an unwelcoming environment for roaches:

  • Plants: Place mint or lavender plants in your home or garden.

  • Powders and Leaves: Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed bay leaves and citrus peels in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points.

  • Sprays: Create a diluted solution with scents like lemon or vinegar to spray in your home. These can also be used in cleaning products or as room fresheners.

  • Essential Oils: While essential oils of these scents can be used, be cautious as they can be toxic to pets if inhaled.

It is important to note that while these smells can help keep roaches away, they typically do not kill them and may not be enough to drive out an existing infestation entirely. For best results, combine these scent-based deterrents with regular cleaning. Be sure to clean up all food spills, crumbs, and dirty dishes promptly, and keep trash cans covered with a tight-fitting lid to remove potential food sources.

The signs of a bed bug infestation include itchy, red bite marks on the skin and various forms of physical evidence on or near your bed. Look for reddish or rust-colored stains on sheets from crushed bed bugs, as well as small, dark fecal droppings. You might also find the bugs themselves, their tiny eggs, or the pale, molted skins (casings) they leave behind. In some cases, a persistent musty odor may be present. If you notice any of these signs, calling a professional exterminator is the most effective way to handle the infestation.

Cinnamon's warm scent appeals to many people but not to many bugs. The spice contains eugenol, which also happens to be used in insecticides. While the level of eugenol in cinnamon isn't enough to eliminate bugs on its own, the scent can be strong enough to keep them away. 

You can try sprinkling cinnamon around areas where you've seen insects, such as ants and mosquitos. Remember that you'll have to reapply frequently, especially after periods of rain.

Maintaining a clean environment can deter spiders to a certain extent by removing clutter and reducing the number of insects they prey on. Spiders tend to favor secluded spots to spin their webs and hunt for prey, and regular cleaning practices such as dusting, vacuuming, and decluttering can disrupt these ideal conditions. Despite these preventive measures, some spider species are highly adaptable and may still infiltrate your home despite your best efforts to maintain a tidy living space.
