Do exterminators give free estimates?

• <div><p>Yes, most exterminators or pest control services provide free estimates to potential customers. It’s a good idea to get at least three estimates to compare prices and services unless you have an emergency that can’t wait to gather estimates. When providing the exterminators information for the estimate, be sure to include as much specific information as possible, include the suspected type of pest, how many you’ve seen, and other warning signs.</p></div>

Is it safe to be at home during pest control services?

• <div><p>Whether you should stay in the home during a pest control service depends on the type of treatment. Some types allow you to stay, while others <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fumigation-cost.htm">such as fumigation</a> will require you to leave your home. The pest control company will provide specific instructions for the type of service that will be done to ensure you follow the proper protocol to keep you and your family safe.</p></div>

Q: What kind of damage is caused by iguanas?

• <div><p>Iguanas cause a variety of damage to properties and pose other dangers. Their tunnels can collapse seawalls and foundations. They destroy native plants, trees, gardens, and agriculture. They compete with native animals for food. Their droppings, left almost anywhere, can transmit salmonella which is especially dangerous to vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.</p></div>

Q: Do mothballs keep iguanas away?

• <div><p>Some suggest mothballs as a deterrent for iguanas, but they are ineffective and harmful. Mothballs contain chemicals like naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are toxic to humans and animals, including iguanas. The fumes can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues. Moreover, using mothballs outdoors is not recommended, as they contaminate soil and water sources.</p></div>

Q: Where are fleas most likely to hide?

• <div><p>Fleas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/where-do-fleas-hide.htm">are master hiders</a>, so they&rsquo;re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they&rsquo;re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They&rsquo;re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it&rsquo;s important to keep the home clean. </p></div>

I had our bathtub removed for a walk in shower. They arrived when they said they would and got the job done very quickly. We had a little issue with the shower head leaking but they came back and fixed it right away. I would definitely recommend.
