"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

Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren’t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called “child-resistant,” but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can’t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don’t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets. 

When you’re checking for bed bugs in your home, start by searching for the telltale signs rather than the insects themselves, as they tend to stay hidden during the day. Here are the key signs of a bed bug infestation:

  • Rust-colored or reddish stains on mattresses and bed sheets

  • Dark spots on fabric

  • Shed skins

  • Fecal matter (looks like black spots)

As for fleas, you can typically spot them on your pet. If you notice them scratching themselves excessively, look for bites and bugs on their skin and fur.

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

  • Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor

  • Proper animal identification

  • Written management plan with follow-up visits included

  • Humane removal techniques

  • Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you’re concerned about the environment, a natural mosquito repellant may be better than either fogging or spraying.
