"Francis Animal and Pest Control was quick to respond to our request through Home Advisor. We had a quote within minutes and they were able to set an appointment for 2 business days later. The technician, Robb, was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and thorough and we would definitely contact this business again, if needed!"
"5 Stars - Outstanding Service and Long-Term Results! Stinger Pest Control absolutely exceeded our expectations from day one. We had been struggling with a persistent ant issue in the kitchen and were starting to see wasps showing up around the back patio, making it hard to enjoy our outdoor space. After calling several companies, Stinger stood out immediately with their prompt response and professionalism. They scheduled an inspection the very next day, arrived right on time, and took the time to explain exactly what was going on and how they planned to address it. The technician was extremely thorough, inspecting not just the obvious problem areas but also places we never thought to check—like small gaps around windows and hidden corners in the basement. They treated the ant trails, removed two active wasp nests, and even sealed up potential entry points to prevent future issues. We were impressed by how careful and detail-oriented they were throughout the whole process. What really made a difference, though, was enrolling in their monthly insecticide spraying service. Since starting the monthly treatments, we haven’t seen a single ant, wasp, or any other unwanted visitor in or around the house. It’s been such a relief not to worry about pests sneaking in again, and the peace of mind alone makes it worth every penny. The technicians always show up on schedule for the sprayings, and they’re polite, efficient, and respectful of our property. If you’re tired of quick fixes that don’t last, Stinger Pest Control is the way to go. Their service is reliable, thorough, and clearly designed with long-term prevention in mind. We’re incredibly happy with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends, neighbors, or anyone looking to take pest problems off their plate for good."
"Very professional and explained everything they were going to do over the phone and again in person. They are fast and efficient. We get water bugs where we live if we don’t spray. I was using a store bought spray that wasn’t fully eliminating the problem along with spiders. Ive never found a company that will also spray on the inside, that made a huge difference! Essential pest control came out a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen a bug since! I highly recommend them!"
"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."
When it comes to protecting homes, Terminix has satisfied more customers than any other insect and pest control company in the industry, with more than 15 million service visits annually.
Wasps tend to be more aggressive and defensive than bees. Both will sting to defend themselves or their colony or nest. But many bees have barbed stingers, which means they can’t pull them out of the skin after stinging, allowing them to sting only once. When provoked, wasps can sting multiple times, making them a more menacing pest.
Technically, yes, chinch bugs can fly. However you won’t usually see them in flight. Chinch bugs like to stick close to the ground and they usually move around by hopping or crawling (which is why they can be hard to see). Since they don’t get much chance at flying, they’re pretty bad at it and only fly for short distances—like to nearby yards.
If you spot two or more cockroaches inside your home, you should hire an exterminator to conduct an inspection and provide eradication treatments. If you see one cockroach and no others, it may have been a stray that wandered inside. Don’t hesitate to call an exterminator as soon as you see more than one cockroach in your home.
The number of spiders considered normal in a house can vary significantly depending on geographic location, season, and the specific environment of the house. Generally, it's common for a home to have one or two spiders present at any time. If you consistently notice more than one spider in your home daily or you're dealing with potentially dangerous species, it's advisable to seek professional pest control services to address the issue.
Both insects can damage wood, but there are key differences between termites and carpenter ants that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings.
