"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."
Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.
While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans.
Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.
If the nest is on or in your home, you should have an exterminator remove it. However, if the wasp nest is in an area of your yard that you don't frequent, you can leave it alone as long as the wasps don’t bother your household members. Wasps are very active during the summer months, but they will vacate in the fall and not return until the following year. So, if it's safe to do so, you can leave it, but if it poses a threat of being stung because it's in an area that you use frequently, consider having it removed.
Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.
As nocturnal animals, mice are most active at night. During the day, they prefer to hide in cool, dark, and undisturbed places. Common hiding spots include spaces between walls, inside pantries and cupboards, behind sofas, and in old boxes or other clutter.
