"Overall, we were very happy with Brian and so happy to have the groundhog that was eating our tomatoes finally gone.  I had to give a weak rating for punctuality since I rearranged my day for an 11am appointment, but Brian showed up about 3 hours later.  He said he was stuck at a previous job, which happens I know, but an earlier call to let me know about the delay would have been greatly appreciated.  After that intial problem, Brian did an excellent job.  He was very nice and accomodating that I didn't want to use the kill trap that he initially suggested, and kindly used the no-kill trap and agreed to relocate the groundhog.  As a side note, we have been enjoying watching a little bunny grow up in our yard all summer, and on the first day, we came home to find that bunny in our groundhog trap.  I was so happy we didn't use the kill trap because we would have been crushed to kill our little rabbit friend.  Instead we just set him free and reset the trap.   Anyway,  unlike another company I called that would only allow use of the trap for 3 days (for $185), Brian said we could keep the trap as long as it took.  It was a good thing since we didn't catch that groundhog for 8 days and we would have wasted our money on a company that had the 3 day limit.  While at our house to set up the trap, Brian was very patient showing us how to use it and letting us practice setting it up a few times.  He also walked around the whole house and pointed out any other areas where pests could possibly get in.  This was a great service that I don't think that other companies offer at no extra cost.  We finally came home to the trapped groundhog late one evening, and despite a rainy day, Brian came over the next morning to take the groundhog to its new home.  Overall it was a fairly efficient and easy process.  I was a bit suprised how much it costs to remove one pest, but shopping around, Brain's price seemed right in line with others in the areas, plus he offers the whole house inspection, so I think prices are fair.  As a bonus, Brian is quite a character and quite entertaining.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there’s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add pollinator plants and habitats to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.

Fleas thrive during the warmer months, starting in March and running through November. However, the prevalence of these pests depends on the climate in your state. That’s why it’s important to stay vigilant for fleas on your pets and property during spring, summer, and fall. Be sure to apply flea prevention sprays and medications to their coats as directed by a veterinarian.

For routine pest control maintenance, most specialists recommend treatments every three months (quarterly). However, the ideal frequency can range from monthly to yearly depending on several factors. If you have a severe infestation, more frequent treatments will likely be necessary. Your location also plays a role; for example, homes near water may experience more pests in spring and summer. It's best to discuss your specific situation with a pest control professional to determine a suitable schedule. If you notice any pests between scheduled visits, inform your provider so they can address the issue promptly.

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.

Wasps dislike a great many essential oils, such as clove, geranium, and lemongrass. Combine a few drops of each in a cup and place this cup outside to repel wasps from your immediate surroundings.
