"I highly recommend David and his company, Rutman Restorations. I had rodents in the crawlspace of my home and the insulation and vapor barrier needed to be removed and replaced. This was no small task, as I have a single story home which has a larger footprint than many two story homes. David and I agreed to an excellent price and timeline. At first I was a little overwhelmed because I could see this was going to be an all hands on deck process. David coordinated work with Summit Pest company regarding the removal of the rodents and even spoke with the HVAC company when we discovered water in one of the ducts. (Which has now been addressed by the HVAC company that installed the A/C). David and his crew went to work right away removing old contaminated insulation and then sprayed the crawlspace with an antimicrobial solution before installing the new vapor barrier and insulation. David always kept me informed as the work progressed. I was happy to see they were using respirators, specialized suits and other safety equipment during the process. The crew worked diligently, had a great sense of humor, they were respectful and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I’ve owned other homes, but this is the first time I’ve ever been involved in the restoration of a crawlspace. I knew I was in good hands with David, Nico, Ben, Nayla and their great crew. Thank you for all your hard work! Kudos to all of you!"

"Great! Jeff came on the same day the request for service was made. He was able to come that night, described what / how the bat removal would be accomplished with the safety of the owner and bat being the priority. After releasing the bat outdoors, the exterior of the home was inspected, looking for possible point/s of entry. Jeff was efficient, knowledgeable, personable, professional."

The Oregon Garden near Salem is a perfect place to see hundreds of flowers and plants. If you are seeing hundreds of spiders in your home it is time to call Pointe Pest Control. We are Salem’s local solution to spider infestations. One of the most common spiders we see in Oregon is the giant house spider. Its size might be frightening, but its venom is harmless. The most dangerous spider is the black widow. Any bite from a black widow should be considered dangerous. When you call Pointe Pest Control, we arrive to your home an offer a free inspection. We will help you identify the spider. We don’t stop with arachnids; our technicians eliminate all pest infestations. Wasps, rodents, ants, or bed bugs; we can eradicate any pest.

"Don’t waste your time or money. Called for attic rats. Was told that the issue was old and the rats are gone, which was completely incorrect. They treated for mice (which we still have) then told me that to treat for rats would be an additional $800. When a dead rat was found, the service person refused to remove it stating, “[they] didn’t want to get their clothes dirty.” Bait and switch service. No pun intended. I’ve never been unhappier with a service in my life. I will never use this company for any reason whatsoever."

"I i’m only writing on here because I don’t know what to do our experience started out great Hayden the technician that came out for us was amazing cannot say enough nice things about him however things got weird when I tried to call yesterday and their phone lines were down and it said Verizon announcement 24 for your call cannot go through when I googled what announcement 24 meant it said some thing about needing to make payment I’ve had a skunk in a cage for two days now I have left six voicemails got a call back yesterday from a guy who I might’ve been a little snippy with I did ask for a discount for the inconvenience he said he couldn’t I then said OK go ahead and come out and take care of the skunk and I’ll talk to my husband to see what we need to do from there he said OK nobody showed up yesterday and I have called multiple times today and gotten no response and no communication the skunk has been in the cage for going on two days now to me it’s inhumane the fact that they pellet gun it and you have to deal with the stench is absolutely horrible I called another company that said they remove it and gas it which would be much nicer because the smell after a skunk is killed is absolutely horrible. I don’t know where else to turn at this point I wrote a message on Reddit to the owner and I’m sure I’ll hear back but this has just gotten crazy and I am extremely upset… that’s fine if they can’t offer a discount for the inconvenience of there phones being shut off I get it but it doesn’t hurt to ask but for a company to have our credit card info on file and to blatantly Not get back to you when you have a live animal in a cage is just wrong I will be glad to update this review if the situation is straightened out but this is absolutely ridiculous So far we have spent just about $600 with them"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don’t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it’s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. 

Some bees may return after the nest is removed. These are called "straggler" bees, and it may take them a couple of weeks before they leave. The reason is the nest may have been removed while the bees were away. These bees don't typically survive long once the nest is gone, so you may want to contact a beekeeper to help relocate them elsewhere.

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.

Ensure proper ventilation, address leaks, and conduct regular inspections.

Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.
