Joe sprayed along the baseboards throughout the inside of the house. He placed pest traps in a few places. He also treated around the outside of the house. We've seen dead bugs outside, but none inside since the monthly services began 4 months ago.

"Beware at all costs!! They are liars and say anything to have you sign up for their services. I was told there was no contract and I could cancel at any time for any reason. Just sign your name on this iPad a couple times and you are done! BS - I tried to text, email and call to cancel and was initially told it was taken care of by the deceitful sales guy who strong armed me into signing. When I called customer service, I was passed from person to person who told me that I had signed a one year agreement that automatically renews and I would have to pay for the previous months (which I THOUGHT were cancelled) plus a $199 cancellation fee. I stood my ground and refused to pay it. So they started calling and emailing me EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! They finally charged my credit card without my authorization!! Lesson learned. Don’t feel sorry for the young college kid who will say anything to sell you a bogus policy. They only came to spray my yard twice over the course of 6 months and never did inside my house or the garage. What a terrible experience!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

While they belong to the same general “gnat” category, fruit flies and fungus gnats are different insects. Fungus gnats are typically darker in color and have long legs, while fruit flies are usually lighter in color and have shorter legs. Fungus gnats are attracted to damp soil and decaying plant matter, while fruit flies are attracted to overripe fruit and other sweet substances.

It’s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can’t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it’s not a first choice for homeowners.

Groundhogs are definitely cute, but it’s usually not a good idea to have them living in your yard. Not only can groundhogs tear up your grass and create unsightly holes and burrows, but they can also carry infectious diseases that are dangerous to humans.

Brown recluse spiders—and other species of spiders—invite themselves into your home in search of a warm, dry, dark spot with easy access to insects. Food sources, like the insects that live in your house, often attract spiders to your home, so if you’ve got a bug problem, you’ll probably have spiders moving in quickly.

Seeing a rat or two isn’t uncommon, especially in mild climates. That doesn’t mean they are actively a danger to your home. The problem is when you start seeing rats regularly in your yard, there’s a good chance they are also looking for ways to get into your house or other buildings. All they need is a small hole or gap, and they have a new place to nest -- which is bad news for you. Stay cautious if you start seeing rats in your yard all the time.
