"I was very pleased with S and M Pest Services. They were quite professional, up front about all work to be performed and the cost of each tier of service. They minimize the use of harmful pesticides yet still manage to get the job done. We hired them for two properties that had different requirements, with one being much more difficult than the other. The more difficult job involved setting external and internal traps, some exterior masonry work, roof and chimney work, substantial external patching of woodpecker damage, and significant termite control. They far exceeded expectations on the more difficult property and I would not hesitate to recommend them. I rated them a B for price because this was the first time we've had to use this service."

"Joe was wonderful, he explained how the house would be treated and what each treatment was for. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, quick to respond and follow up. He knew I was very concerned about my flea problem and did everything he could to explain what to expect. I followed everything he recommended and the results were exactly what I had hoped for. If I ever need any type of pest control again I will definitely call Achieve Pest &Wildlife Solutions"

"I had Shawn out to the house for carpenter ants. He surveyed the areas they had been spotted and checked the rest of the house. He was eager to answer questions and explained in detail the process they use. I have no problem recommending them to anyone!"

"Reached out to Jerry at Tombstone Pest Control regarding an ant problem and he arrived less than two hours after we spoke. He arrived at the house with a mask and gloves on demonstrating professional courtesy for the COVID-19 pandemic going on right now. He was knowledgeable regarding the type of infestation and how to treat it. His prices were very fair and I signed a service plan with him that day. I would highly recommend hiring Tombstone Pest Control to anyone with any type of infestation problem"

"I met John owner of JC Pest 15+ years ago when we had a rat problem around our compactor that no one else could resolve. John took this project personal and showed up 7 days a week to bait the borrows until the problem was resolved. We hired him at that point for pest control for the entire faciloty and he has been supplying us with great service since then. I highly recommend JC Pest Control."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Roaches have a strong sense of smell and are repelled by a variety of potent aromas. Scents that can help deter them include citrus (such as lemon and orange), herbs like peppermint, mint, basil, thyme, and oregano, spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, clove, and garlic, as well as lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree oil, and vinegar.

You can use these scents in several ways to create an unwelcoming environment for roaches:

  • Plants: Place mint or lavender plants in your home or garden.

  • Powders and Leaves: Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed bay leaves and citrus peels in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points.

  • Sprays: Create a diluted solution with scents like lemon or vinegar to spray in your home. These can also be used in cleaning products or as room fresheners.

  • Essential Oils: While essential oils of these scents can be used, be cautious as they can be toxic to pets if inhaled.

It is important to note that while these smells can help keep roaches away, they typically do not kill them and may not be enough to drive out an existing infestation entirely. For best results, combine these scent-based deterrents with regular cleaning. Be sure to clean up all food spills, crumbs, and dirty dishes promptly, and keep trash cans covered with a tight-fitting lid to remove potential food sources.

You should not squish a roach because it can spread disease, attract more roaches, and release allergens. Roaches feed on the bodies of dead roaches, making more of them come. Squashing an individual roach only kills that one, whereas boric acid powder or baking soda can kill an entire population because it travels back to the nest before dying.

Paper wasps look similar to other wasps, like yellow jackets. They have narrow, but not thread-like, waists with black or brown bodies and yellow colorations. You can better identify paper wasps by their nests, which are made with regurgitated wood pulp. The nests look like they are made from paper and usually have visible hexagonal holes, like a honeybee hive.

They build their nests in places like eaves or branches, and their removal more often warrants the help of a wasp control specialist near you.

Humans attract fleas with their body heat, the carbon dioxide (CO2) they exhale, body odors, and movement. Fleas love hiding in warm, dark places like hair and scalps, armpits, and groin areas. Fleas prefer to feed on pets and wildlife, but they do bite humans when other warm-blooded mammals aren’t available.

Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
