"I found these guys on HomeAdvisor, chose the option that I wanted to be contacted, and Bennett called me in 30 seconds! He had me text him pictures of the insects I was dealing with and told me right then what they were. He scheduled an appointment for Jerome to come out for an estimate. I need to reschedule for an emergency dentist appointment. He was super understanding and got me on the calendar for a few days later. I ended up canceling morning of because I had gotten the issue under control on my own. Again, he was super understanding and said no problem at all, glad you got it resolved! I will definitely contact them in the future if I have a pest problem."

"Great people to do business with! Had 2 other companies come to my place for estimates. They priced out "what I wanted done." When Wildlife Management came, they told me that "what I wanted" and what was needed to be done were 2 different things, and explained the reasons why. They were more expensive, but, in the long run is cheaper to do the work on what needed to be done. Because "what I wanted", I have been paying for 5 years now for the same thing. It has now been 6 months since they completed the work, and all is still good. Well worth the money to get it done correctly the first time. Wish that I had found them 5 years ago when the problem first started with the squirrels! They explain everything, and even "dumb down" the wording so that I could understand what was going on and why. Could not ask for a better company to work with!"

"i was pleased that they covered many of our common insects at the lake. i was not as happy with the fact that they really pushed for the yearly contract and explained that it was 4 treatments through the year, but as i understand it now, they only look at the property in 2 of the 4 visits but do not spray."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.

Birds are often averse to certain strong scents. For instance, the odor of predator urine, such as that from foxes or hawks, can deter them. Similarly, birds may dislike the pungent aromas of garlic, onions, and chili peppers. Essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus can also be effective in keeping birds away. However, it's important to note that individual bird species might react differently to these scents, so it might require some experimentation to find the most effective repellent for your specific situation.

It’s difficult to be sure bed bugs are gone, especially with DIY methods. Any treatment you use should also include dedicated beg bug traps to pick up stragglers and help you monitor how many are left. It usually takes around three weeks to clean up remaining bed bugs and make sure they aren’t returning any time soon. Hiring a bed bug exterminator can decrease the amount of time it takes to remove these pests.

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood. It’s a common misconception because many kinds of termites eat wood as well as live inside it. Carpenter ants, however, are omnivores and only chew into wood to create pathways and nests, discarding the chewed wood as frass which is a major indicator of a carpenter ant problem. They prefer to eat smaller insects, sweet things like spilled honey, and sources of protein like pet food.
