"..Doug Ashe is the super hero of animal control and removal.  Dont even bother looking at the ads of other wildlife removal vendors.  Doug Ashe does it all.  He stands behind his work.  Evidenced by the vent covering repair he made for us today. Other service providers can only wish they were like Doug Ashe and CWC.  Doug has set the bar high!!

"When the technician arrived he said that we seemed to have a minor infestation and should be able to be taken care of easily. After 3 treatments we had a message left on AM that we should call for our monthly treatment. I hadn't planned on regular treatments so I called and told the technician that I was going to call someone else. He was very cordial. I called another Pest company and after one treatment we have not seen any cockroaches for 3 months."

"We were having issues with raccoons coming into our backyard, back porch and getting into the trash cans outside. They were also getting a little too comfortable coming around us as well. Thanks to Unaka Wildlife Control, those raccoons are no longer a problem."

"He worked hard to get almost everything done on the first day. He did an amazing job. I still have three visits left and the job is done in three days."
One of the stainless steel mesh caps. I put up on the plumbing stack.
Set up and removal of trap!
The wire is really tight on there. It is split around the wire and it's buried a foot in the ground with a l at the bottom.
One of the areas that we sprayed.
We screwed the trailer siding by the door back down.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The cockroach most easily confused with water bugs is the Oriental cockroach, for several reasons. Their shape is most similar to a water bug, and they’re notorious for seeking out and living near water. If you capture one of these bugs close to a water supply, you can quickly tell if it’s an Oriental roach or a water bug. These roaches are a darker color, and they cannot fly, while water bugs are a lighter brown and can fly to escape.

You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.

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.

As beautiful as vines on your home's exterior can be, they do like to attract many kinds of creepy crawlies. Bugs—including beetles, aphids, weevils, and others—like to make themselves at home in ivy. You can also bet if a wide selection of bugs is available, it will attract spiders, too.
