"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."

You can’t stay in your house while fumigating, even if it’s only one room. When using a bug bomb or fogger in any area of your home, the entire home must be fully prepped and everyone must leave regardless of how many rooms are being fumigated. If you'll be booking a stay overnight to give your home time to air out, factor the hotel room into your total fumigation cost.
When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.
The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.
For years, it was believed that hobo spider bites were incredibly dangerous, causing flesh-eating wounds. But the rumors of their bites were greatly exaggerated, and there's been no real evidence showing a connection between a hobo spider bite and necrotizing wounds.
That said, the spiders can and do bite, usually as a defense response. They won't attack you unprovoked, but if you take them by surprise and get close enough, they may bite you. Their bites may cause some minor irritation or itchiness.
When you’re checking for bed bugs in your home, start by searching for the telltale signs rather than the insects themselves, as they tend to stay hidden during the day. Here are the key signs of a bed bug infestation:
Rust-colored or reddish stains on mattresses and bed sheets
Dark spots on fabric
Shed skins
Fecal matter (looks like black spots)
As for fleas, you can typically spot them on your pet. If you notice them scratching themselves excessively, look for bites and bugs on their skin and fur.
