"The two young men went into my attic to look at the beehives. They used a humane spray to make the bees leave their nest. They went to Home Depot to buy a corking gun to seal the seam where the bees were entering my home. Excellent work!!"

Their technicians were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, and they ensured my property was pest-free. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pest control services."
"Excellent. Darian is a straight shooter. I highly recommend going with a small operation like his and avoiding the big players who have high overhead costs and greater financial motivations. I made a few phone calls and started with a company that was highly rated, but I also noticed sky-high costs involved. They charged a $95 trip fee which was excessive, but I wanted to get help ASAP because my renters was very worried. The estimate was for nearly $3000. I immediately knew that was off the wall. Then I called Darian. He was easy going and told me there wouldn't be a trip fee. He diagnosed the job and proposed nearly the same course of action minus a completely unnecessary $1000 repair of something that wasn't broken. His estimate was less than a quarter of the original quote and he did the work without any snags. The final cost didn't exceed the original. I even questioned the cost in the beginning and thought it should cost MORE for disinfectant, but Darian said it was no problem. The work isn't rocket science. Darian could have done $2000 worth of work but he recommended an incremental approach, addressing what was truly required and taking prudent proactive measures, rather than every possible action and running up the price. He did a thorough, honest job."
DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.
A single bed bug bites multiple times throughout one night until full, but then takes a break for a week or so to digest. However, the more bugs present, the more likely you get bit every night. Tracking how often you get bit is a good way to approximate the size of the infestation.
Flea eggs can’t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue.
Flea eggs also can’t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer.
Carpenter ants can go away on their own if their food source is eliminated, but this could take weeks or months. If you have an infestation on your hands, carpenter ants need to be treated by pesticides from a licensed professional in order to go away as soon as possible.
If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.
