"Ron Pope and his team at Critter Control of East Tennessee provided a prompt response to my call for help with a pest problem and then performed a thorough analysis of the matter to determine that the pest problem was caused by squirrels. They provided a solution that would prevent the problem from occurring again and then went through a removal process followed by some roof repair and the removal /replacement of a damaged roof ridge vent. The entire matter was handled professionally and cordially. This was my first experience of this nature but Ron Pope did a great job in educating me about it from analysis through resolution and then performing exactly as he indicated he would. Ron and his Critter Control of East Tennessee team are the solution to any pest related problem one might have and I strongly encourage those with similar problems to contact Ron immediately. You won't be disappointed!!"

"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."

Although raccoons aren’t particularly picky regarding food, certain sounds, metals, and smells bother them. You can place these items around your home to keep raccoons away:
Place wire mesh screens around and underneath decks and porches to prevent raccoons from nesting.
Put metal sheeting around the edges of your roof or at the base of trees to deter raccoons from coming close.
Place a loud battery-operated radio near the raccoon’s den to keep them from nesting.
Keep a bowl of cider vinegar on your deck or porch.
Remove old raccoon scents by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting underneath porches and decks.
You can easily find sprays that claim they are safe for pets and kids. However, we’d rather not use them in our own homes if we’re worried about pet safety: They still include pesticides and other chemicals, and are best avoided in any food prep areas like the kitchen, or any spots where children and pets may place. That’s why sprays didn’t end up in our suggestions for the safest options.
Professional wasp removal methods vary depending on the wasp species, nest location, and the severity of the infestation. Professionals use a range of techniques, including high-grade insecticides, pesticides, aerosols, insecticidal dust, liquids, and vacuuming. After exterminating the wasps, the technician will remove the active nest to prevent re-infestation. For a major or pervasive wasp problem, it is recommended to hire a professional to handle the issue safely and avoid painful stings.
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.
If you are not at high risk of contracting disease and take proper safety precautions, it’s considered generally safe to clean mouse droppings on your own. Before handling any droppings, make sure to put on protective equipment such as plastic gloves and a face mask. Individuals who are immunocompromised, have medical conditions, and children should especially avoid exposure to mouse droppings.
