"..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."

"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

Cinnamon's warm scent appeals to many people but not to many bugs. The spice contains eugenol, which also happens to be used in insecticides. While the level of eugenol in cinnamon isn't enough to eliminate bugs on its own, the scent can be strong enough to keep them away. 

You can try sprinkling cinnamon around areas where you've seen insects, such as ants and mosquitos. Remember that you'll have to reapply frequently, especially after periods of rain.

Don’t count on squirrels leaving on their own. Squirrels like the safety that a cozy attic provides and won’t be in a hurry to leave, especially if they’ve recently given birth to a litter. It’s best to address the situation with DIY removal tactics or hire a squirrel removal pro as soon as you suspect squirrels are living in your attic.

It’s highly unlikely that fleas will pack up and leave your home on their own. Fleas reproduce frequently and by the dozens, so an infestation can grow and spread rapidly, increasing the need for professional extermination. That’s why it’s important to address a flea issue in your home as soon as you identify it. Hire a professional flea exterminator to clear your home of these tiny pests.

Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.

If rats found a spot they liked to build a nest, then it’s possible more rats will show up or return to that same spot. That’s why it’s important to close off any access points rats may be using to get inside your home.
