"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 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."

"I had a great experience with this pest control company. Frank and Bryan were able to come out the very next day, which I really appreciated. The team was professional, efficient, and extremely thorough they sealed up my entire home inside and out. You can tell they take pride in their work. On top of that, their pricing was very fair, and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. They answered all my questions and made the whole process stress free. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with pest issues!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.

There are DIY methods and store-bought pesticides available for the public to use. However, these pesticides also come with a risk, and you need to follow the directions correctly and take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to these chemicals. These methods may be an option for small pest problems, but you should call in a pest control specialist for persistent pests and infestations.

You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know when and what to clean after the treatment. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.

However, you’ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you’ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won’t be exposed to the chemicals.

In addition to a clean home, fleas dislike oils made from plants that are naturally bug-resistant or poisonous to bugs. That includes myrtle, mint, eucalyptus, and especially cedar oil. Common household remedies like baking soda, garlic and apple vinegar don’t have any effect on fleas. Don’t spray essential oils directly on your own skin or your pets (and their bedding, because it can be a skin irritant. Stay away from tea tree oil. In pure form it can be very toxic to pets. Always ask your vet if you have any questions.

Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts. 

The Colorado State University Extension suggests there’s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.
