"I couldn’t exterminate bees around my bay roof window using spray I bought at Home Depot. The day they came and sprayed, it went away the same day. The technician Brett was very polite and professional. He sprayed around my house for seasonal pest control. It seems it is working but time will only tell."

"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!"

"Purchased house empty for over a year. Purchased a one year plan to treat house and rid of all insects, and other creepy crawlies that have been living there. On slab so would also rid house of termites if any which will show up on markers they leave outside. Monthly cost reasonable considering what a full-on treatment of termites would cost if discovered."

"I called primarily because we had'nt used the insert in a few years and had gotten a wasp's nest in the chimney which was removed when we had the roof redone.  I wanted to find out if a screen could be put on top to stop wasps from getting in.  After being told they had had a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to get to me they could'nt do anything  but put on a new cap for 400 to 500 dollars which would make it worth their while for the trip.  They did'nt do a cleaning and were here for about 20 minutes.  It was a special they were running for a cleaning and inspection.

Each service visit is $75.  In July  2014, I 2 guests, staying in the guestroom.  When we turned on the thermostat, the living room was cooled.  When we turned on the thermostat in the living room, it too was cooled.  No cooling was present in the guest room.  I realized that the previous serviceman sent by the now defunct Colonial Home Warranty mis-wired the damper control.  AHS refused to send a company working on the damper control, but insisted on sending a company which does not do such work. I was charged $75 for a service call.  This company recommended another company which does damper control work.  The second company came and fixed the wiring problem in 5 minutes, charging me another $75 service fee.  Their regular service call, without home warranty is $85.   

If you  need a/c work, beware that AHS pays only $10 per lb of Freon, while most AC repair companies charge around $50/lb.

Last spring, my dishwasher would not let water in.  The repairman came for 5 minutes and declared that the water shut off switch was slightly sticky.  The deductible was again $75.


I spent a lot of time checking up on various  Home Warranty companies and have not been able to come up with a good company.  I have decided to go without Home Warranty after 2 top ac repair companies assure me that my HVAC will not be out of order in the next couple of years, if I do proper maintenance.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

The time and number of treatments required for an exterminator to get rid of roaches depend on factors like the roach type, infestation severity, and extermination method. For small infestations, a single treatment may be sufficient, showing results within 1 to 3 days. However, most cases require several treatments and take about 2 to 8 weeks to resolve completely. Severe infestations can take up to 6 months to fully eliminate.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

Spider egg sacs are meant to last, so you can't crush them. One of the best ways to deal with them is to vacuum them up and then quickly dispose of your debris in the trash so the egg sacs leave your property permanently. Egg sacs surrounded by little spiderlings means that it has already hatched, but you may be able to catch many of these with a vacuum cleaner, too.

Possums don’t typically pose a danger to humans—they prefer to stay out of sight. If they feel threatened, they play dead instead of engaging. However, they can become aggressive when cornered, typically when they become trapped inside your home or when a dog chases them. When this happens, it’s best to call a wildlife control service near you to remove possums safely.

Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting.
