"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"

They took care of the problem with ease and were able to answer all the questions we asked. We are very pleased with the result. I highly recommend Organic Pest Control for using their service when needed."

"I called because my grandson woke up with marks on his body. I took him to a dermatologist who said we had bed bugs. I immediately called Ace and they were at my apartment in 10 mins.!!! After the inspection I received the great news that I had no bed bugs. Only spider and beetles. I appreciate Luis honesty."

"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

Scorpions may be native to desert climates, but they are nocturnal and like to find shelter in dark, cool places during the day. Your home has many ideal spots to conceal themselves in. Beyond that, they can get all the food they need from the other insects or spiders hiding in the walls of your home, and your air conditioning vents likely have condensation to provide them with cool water to drink.

Notably, earwigs, centipedes, and spiders all enjoy a silverfish lunch. You can’t turn to natural predators to fix your silverfish problem: In fact, one issue with silverfish is that they can bring in unwanted earwigs into the house or cause a minor infestation of hungry spiders, so it’s important to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Allowing wolf spiders to reside in your home can have benefits, as they serve as natural exterminators, preying on insects and pests that could become problematic. Their presence can help keep your residence relatively free of nuisance insects such as flies, ants, and cockroaches, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Wolf spiders are generally not hostile towards humans, and their bites, although painful, usually don't result in a significant medical concern. If you can coexist peacefully with these spiders and recognize their role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem within your household, they can contribute to a healthier and pest-reduced environment.

The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.

If you’re wondering whether pest control services are safe, rest assured that they are if you hire a licensed and experienced exterminator. Professionals are trained to use EPA-approved products in controlled amounts and apply them in targeted areas to minimize exposure to people and pets. Plus, many modern pest control methods are designed to be low-risk while still effectively eliminating pests like scorpions. If you have concerns about chemicals, ask your exterminator about eco-friendly or integrated pest management (IPM) options, which focus on prevention and minimal pesticide use.
