"They said they would come back a month later to check on things. I signed up for their program. It so far ha been going well and we have no more ants and the bees might take a little longer and might cost more but i was hoping that what they did would take care of ALL pest. But the fella that came to do the treatment seemed very knowledgeable about what he was doing."

"Thank you Angi for the referrals. Osip Pest Management gave me a quote that was affordable, and after my initial phone conversation with Osip pro Jide, I felt confident that my hornet nest problem would be taken care of quickly and safely by a very knowledgeable expert. I'm extremely satisfied with the work completed by Jide in removing a medium size hornet nest that was beneath my outside electric meter box. I highly recommend Osip Pest Management services if you need help with pest control and nest removals."

"This was the most comprehensive pest control company I ever dealt with. I also love that after each phase I received an email of the detailed report of the work that was done and with the name of the person who was responsible for the work."

"Matt was wonderful. He removed the nest from upper bathroom vent, cleaned and installed a screen in vent so I won't have that problem again. I was so satisfied with job and price. The "pest control" companies don't have a license to remove wildlife, they passed me onto construction companies that wanted $1,000 for this job!!!! Thankfully Angie's List had Get Out Critters. Grateful Gail"

"I had to call Craig Thomas Pest Control 4 times and each time I called I spoke to a different person.  It seems I was reaching a call center each time.  This was a problem because I needed to cancel the appointment I had made with them.  When I called to do so I ended up speaking to a different individual than the one that scheduled my appointment.  To avoid any miscommunication I called Craig Thomas twice to make sure the appointment was cancelled.  I then made an appointment with another local provider who had very good Angie's list reviews.  The problem was Craig Thomas Pest Control's scheduling department is very disorganized.  They failed to cancel the appointment and a technician arrived at my house anyway.  This was awkward because I had scheduled another local provider for the same time.  Unfortunately the Craig Thomas technician arrived before my preferred provider arrived without giving me a courtesy call to let me know he was on his way for an appointment that didn't really exist! The other local provider being a fair and professional individual offered to come in and use his digital heat sensor device to locate the bee hive in the wall of our bedroom.  He did this free of charge and thank goodness he did because the Craig Thomas technician's method of investigation was to put his ear up against the wall and listen.  The Craig Thomas ear against the wall method unfortunately was ineffective at locating the beehive.  If the other local provider had not been there I don't know how this appointment would have turned out...not very good I'm guessing.  The technician from Craig Thomas was respectful and professional and after the other local provider located the beehive the Craig Thomas technician did complete the chemical application.  I don't blame the Craig Thomas technician because he was just doing his job in the way that he was trained or instructed to so by Craig Thomas.  But I would not use Craig Thomas again in the future.  I will instead use that other local provider with the digital heat sensor device and easy scheduling.

"Very friendly tech came to examine our house. He was really late, but this did not matter - lost his way. The cost was way beyond what we are willing to pay for pest control (over $1000) but we do have a fairly problematic carpenter bee problem."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

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.

DIY removal risks harming bees and you. Professionals offer safe and effective solutions protecting both parties.

Setting up an animal trap in your yard largely depends on where you live and the type of critter you're dealing with. In many states, trapping nuisance animals like squirrels, rats, or raccoons is allowed, sometimes without needing a permit. However, certain wildlife species are protected, and not all states have lenient catch-and-release regulations.

Before placing a trap, check your local laws to avoid fines or other legal issues. Some areas allow DIY trapping, while others may require professional assistance. Most areas require a professional to relocate the animal once trapped. Consulting a pro ensures you handle the situation responsibly, humanely, and within the law.

Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.

A strong honeybee colony can usually fight off the aggressive presence of yellow jackets. However, weaker honeybee colonies with fewer workers are especially vulnerable to yellow jackets. If yellow jackets gain entry into a weakened honeybee colony, they can easily kill the honeybees and empty the hive of all its contents.
