"Making initial contact through Angie's list did not work well -- vendor did not respond to messages. Once I called them on the phone, we made quick progress in addressing removal of the ground hog who moved in under my shed. Proposed solution was effective but pricey, compared to a prior removal. I proceeded any way due the need to proceed promptly and the lack of response from other vendors. Bottom line: good work but at a premium price, which takes the rating down to a 4."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Both insects can damage wood, but there are key differences between termites and carpenter ants that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings.

Ant and termite infestations look very different. Since termites feed on wood, one of the warning signs of their presence is drooping drywall, peeling paint, loose floor tiles, and crumbling wood. On the other hand, ants feed on plant- and animal-based food options, so you’ll likely spot a colony near your home’s food sources. If you’re unsure what type of pest infestation you have, hire a pest control specialist to inspect for you.

Moles live underground and feed on insects. They dig and move through tunnels, usually in meadows or forests but sometimes in lawns and gardens. They are about 6 inches long with large claws, tiny eyes, and hidden ears. 

Shrews do not dig their own tunnels but will use other animals’ tunnels, and are about 3 to 4 inches long. They look similar to mice and feed on insects.

Voles are similar in size to moles but have large eyes and small but visible ears. Rather than eating insects, voles are herbivores that prefer seeds, grasses, and plant roots.

The longevity of pest control treatment depends on the treatments and the type of pest. Pest control services for serious infestations can last 3 to 6 months. Some treatments are more or less permanent if the pro fixes how pests were entering the home. Other treatments, like sprayed barriers or bait traps, are designed to last for anywhere from 30 days to several months. Pest control often offers to re-apply treatments like this to ensure full eradication and discourage new infestations.

While many pests like rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can damage your home, termites are among the most destructive. By sheer dollar amount, the damage from a bad termite infestation is unparalleled, as they can ruin walls, floors, roofs, and wooden support materials, potentially requiring massive reconstruction. Other highly destructive pests include rodents, carpenter ants, and bees that build hives within walls. If you spot signs of termites or other pests, you should hire an exterminator immediately.
