"My son told me we had hundreds of wasps in our front yard when he got home from school. My wife is allergic to bee and wasp stingâ s and would end up in the ER. Obviously it was important to get someone out right away to fix this problem. Got in touch with Joe Hamby at Pest Shield and he asked me when I wanted him to check it out. Of course I said today. He gave me a price I was really comfortable with and was standing In my yard when I pulled in the driveway. He had already surveyed the yard. As luck would have it the wasps had disappeared by this time so this is a story with a happy ending. I have had less than desirable experiences with other pest control companies and will be calling Pest Shield for future services."

"The sales rep, Paul, was amazing. He was professional and very knowledgeable about bats and the removal process. The tech, Adam, was very thorough and accommodating. The price was fair and Paul worked with me on figuring out how to get what I needed done, while staying within my budget, which I very much appreciated. I was worried that it was going to be a really involved process, as bats are a protected species in my state, but Paul and Adam walked me through everything and made it all easy to understand. I will definitely be using them again if I run into another critter problem! 10/10 recommend!"
"Jon and Jeremy came out and did an inspection and started the work same day. Their customer service is top notch. I couldn?t have been more impressed with their customer service, quick response time, and pricing. Will definitely be recommending them to all our family and friends!"
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"They did great. Caught three armadillos, one skunk, a possum and a raccoon. Larry was our trapper and he did a great job notifying us when he was coming around, and what he removed. Jordan was the pre-sales representative and was very professional. Gave some great advice. Also have to compliment the office personnel. Diane was a pleasure to talk to and also very helpful. I liked the quickness of the service and the thoroughness of the follow-through. Would highly recommend this company for any pest concerns you may suffer."
The number of spiders considered normal in a house can vary significantly depending on geographic location, season, and the specific environment of the house. Generally, it's common for a home to have one or two spiders present at any time. If you consistently notice more than one spider in your home daily or you're dealing with potentially dangerous species, it's advisable to seek professional pest control services to address the issue.
Due to the high temperatures used during heat treatments, many things must be removed from the area. The most vital things to ensure you remove are living things like pets and plants. To prevent damage to your belongings, you should also remove items such as electronics, flammable products, food, and anything else that the heat may damage.
Some plants that are toxic to animals or insects are also toxic to people. Daffodils, for example, are considered poisonous to humans (although they are rarely fatal). Most of the other plants listed above, however, are safe (and delicious!) for humans to eat, including basil, rosemary, and lemongrass.
It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:
Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.
Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.
When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.
Unexplained bites, strange smells, and bug nests in concealed areas warn of potential infestations.
