"I am a realtor and would recommend this company for any real estate termite/pest inspections. 
They have an entomologist on staff are professional and provide a professional WBI report.
Inspected home with possible infestation by powder post beetles.  Determined there was no active inspection. 
Found inactive pest activity missed by home inspector and wrote report indicating that no treatment was necessary and
gave detailed description why. 
There was an evident inactive infestation in new flooring.  Lumber Liquidators would not provide provide on-site inspection of defective product.   Called 2 local companies that would not take call, had another competitor inspect the floor verbally tell me there was no active infestation but would not document the statement without a 500.00 treatment.  Yet another company told me that the treatment could stain hardware, damaging the new hardwood floor.  
Best of all there service price was 25% less than the inspector that would not provide a report.

It is much less than anybody else charges. We used them when they came out in an effort to remedy our problem. Since that time we have had other pest control in here so I think that the issue we had was not one that was clearly identified for them to resolve.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.

To determine if you have a rat or mouse infestation, look for several key differences. The most obvious is the size of the rodent: rats are significantly larger with thicker bodies, while mice are much smaller and more slender. You can also identify them by their droppings; rat droppings are larger and rounder, about the size of a raisin, while mouse droppings are smaller, like a grain of rice, and often have pointed ends. Other signs include the sounds they make, as rats produce louder scratching and gnawing noises due to their size. Behaviorally, rats tend to be more cautious, whereas mice are more curious and might be seen more often. Additionally, rat nests are typically larger than those of mice. If you are unable to see the pest or find clear evidence, a professional inspection can provide a definitive identification.

While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don’t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.
