"It went amazingly well. Kody was very understanding of my embarrassment and he was very reassuring that he could get my pest problem cleared up. He showed up in an unmarked vehicle so none of my noisey, but well meaning neighbors knew what was going on. I sure didn't want anyone to know a babysitter brought in bedbugs. I am so glad I contacted Wilson pest control and even happier that we don't have anymore unwanted pests. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to anyone."
"Kody was very responsive and quoted a very reasonable price to remove two yellow jackets nest that were in our yard. On top of that, he alerted me of some bagworm issues I was having with a bush in our back yard that I was completely unaware of. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing professional help with any type of pest control. Thanks again for your great service Kody."
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"Mice problem in 4400 sq ft of attic; they removed all insulation then disinfected and sanitized the area. Installed new thermal, acoustical, and pest control insulation. Inspected and sealed any exterior entry points. Also included food traps. Josh and his team are fantastic, very professional. They communicate at every step of the way. Cleaned up at the end of every work day. Would 100% hire them again."
"Terrific! So friendly and efficient, took the time to explain to me how ants behave and how the pest control product will stop the ants. Highly recommend!"
"It was an extremely trying experience but TLC came and made me feel comfortable with them and they went above and beyond expectations and did an absolutely wonderful job! I’ve recommended them To everyone and they are my go to company for any type of pest control!"
"Terminix was quick to respond and to get out here for a termite inspection, which is what we needed. However, they signed us up for pest control and said their agent would be out to care for us right away. So far haven’t seen him yet. Will give 5 stars if that turns out well."
Regular cleaning, sealing cracks, and inspecting second-hand furniture help prevent infestations.
Stink bugs hate strong, fragrant scents like clove, lemongrass, spearmint, and Ylang Ylang, so you can use essential oils as a natural deterrent. (Always keep them out of reach of your pets!) In the garden, plants like lavender, garlic, and catnip can ward off stink bugs thanks to their pungent aroma. Also, avoid decorating with white, as stink bugs are oddly attracted to it.
A temperature of 119 degrees Fahrenheit will kill bed bugs and their eggs within 90 minutes. No temperature kills them instantly, but if exposed to high temperatures over extended periods, bed bugs will be killed off. Bed bug eggs must be exposed to the same temperature for 90 minutes to reach 100% mortality.
If you find bed bugs on your mattress, your first step is to put your sheets, pillowcases, pillows, and nearby linens into a trash bag and wash them in hot water. Then, vacuum your mattress and the rest of your bedroom, paying special attention to the mattress seams and crevices near your headboard. Next, use one (or more) of the solutions listed above to kill any live bugs, or call an exterminator for a professional treatment.
Legal considerations include adherence to local and federal wildlife protection laws, particularly for species that might be protected or endangered.
