"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

"I had Mark come out to inspect damage to my lawn. I had been told by a couple people that it was probably a critter. Mark came out timely and determined that it is either a skunk or racoon. We decided to not do anything right now. He gave me some suggestions and only charged for making the call. Didn't try to pressure me into anything. I will definitely have him come back if need be."

"Very friendly, courteous team. They explained everything clearly and were very thorough. They had to go up to the Attic through the the bedroom closet. I covered one side of the closet clothing with plastic. I received a call from that tech indicating that he was done but that the plastic came off and he didn't want to come down until the clothes were covered again. Very considerate and customer focused. Very happy with their work and with the two that came to inspect and resolve my issue. A week later and no issues or noises."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Rats are the most active at night, from late evening through the early morning. These nocturnal creatures forage for food and explore their surroundings in the dark, when it's quieter and there's less human activity. You're less likely to see them during daylight hours, as they usually stay hidden in walls, attics, or other secluded areas. Spotting signs like droppings or gnaw marks is often the first indication of their presence, rather than seeing the rodents themselves.

Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don’t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments. Queen termites can lay up to thousands of eggs per day, meaning these pests can spread quickly. You may need to combine DIY treatments and professional extermination services to get rid of a termite infestation.

Scorpions have a hard time climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, smooth metal, and slick plastic. Their pincers and legs are designed for gripping rough or textured materials, so they struggle to gain traction on slick vertical surfaces. This is why glass containers or traps are often used to safely contain them. Keeping furniture or bed frames away from walls and using smooth materials as a block can help limit their ability to climb into sleeping or resting areas.

The most effective natural roach repellent is Borax with its key ingredient of boric acid and diatomaceous earth. But some homeowners may not feel like these are “natural” enough, especially since you can’t use Borax around curious pets or toddlers.

On the other hand, studies have shown that oregano oil mixtures have some of the best repellent effects, and other research indicates that catnip oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils have notable effects on keeping roaches away. Rosemary oil has been shown to be the most effective natural oil for killing cockroaches outright.

Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.
