"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."
Anecdotal evidence suggests coffee grounds can keep chipmunks away. Sprinkle them throughout your garden, yard, and plants to help deter them. As an added bonus, coffee grounds can help keep the slugs away, and they’re great for acid-loving plants such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and rhododendrons.
Once you’ve found your scorpion problem, there are plenty of ways to take action against those unwanted pests. The first things you should do are seal any cracks in your home, reinforce your screen doors, and clear up your brush and yard waste. If the problem persists, identify the hot zone areas where scorpions are most likely to go, then apply a sticky trap, spray with scorpion chemical spray, or use diatomaceous earth.
Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
Groundhogs are non-aggressive animals that are afraid of humans. They forage for vegetation in yards and gardens, so they can often be seen as a nuisance if you spot one on your property. That said, if you happen to get bitten or scratched by a fearful groundhog, be sure to get checked by a doctor, as they could carry infections or diseases like rabies, Lyme, or the rare tularemia.
Although it's easy to eliminate one or two harmless spiders yourself, professional spider exterminators have the tools, licenses, and expertise to reduce or remove major infestations effectively. They can also safely get rid of venomous black widow or brown recluse spiders and offer advice about preventative treatments to help defend against more infestations.
