Locally owned & operated. Winner of Lubbock Avalanche-Journal "Best Pest Control" for Seventeen years in a Row!

"The guy came and told me he would do a very good job. He sprayed inside and said he would spray outside and put down granules in the yard which he did not do. I called the office to ask, I was told I couldn’t see the granules as they were powdery and that it took two weeks to kill ants! I have never heard that! I was told Rafe would call me back which he didn’t until on Friday asked to talk to his boss! When he did call he said they did not have the product he needed. I asked him why he didn’t just tell me or have Kameron tell me. He said he didn’t know. He never apologized just kept saying his order had not come in. He said he hoped it came soon. I wonder about other customers who don’t know that think their yards were treated. He said he would have the girls let me know when they might come back but I didn’t need to be here. I told him I would definitely need to be told before hand so that I would be here. This is the third incident I have had with them. It is so sad that they would not tell their customers up front. Also they are evidently asking their employees to lie to the customer!"

"Absolutely the worst choice I made in pest control. !!!!!DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! Got all of the bells and whistles that their "apprentice" Braden offered, adding on while he was at my residence. Most of these, as I was lied to about in the end, were supposed to last at least a year's time. When I noticed insects that were supposed to be under this coverage, I was also coming up on a regular spraying so, I called. I spoke with a lady, began to explain what was told to me, and she responded with this, "We don't guarantee anything because of weather." Sooooooo why would you have employees out here representing your company with falsifying information?? It was not as though this was a typical $60.00 service, I paid an additional $100.00 + under false pretense, and have never felt so ripped off. The only resolution she offered me was to pay the entirety of the services again, because of this I filed a complaint with my financial institution. Not surprisingly, Rusty's responded to the bank with lies yet again. They claimed that I was offered a remedy (that was not mentioned on the phone), and that all of the terms were explained to me when I got my services. LIESSS!!!! If that was the truth, I never would have gotten my financial institution involved in the process. I was never trying to take advantage of the company, but just receive the services that I was actually promised. I am also in the process of getting the BBB involved as well. Don't fall victim like me. Don't waste your time. Find a more reputable, customer appreciated, and HONEST company!"

I have been beekeeping for many years. Colony/hive/swarm removals I have performed came from trees, travel trailers, house walls, ceilings, eaves, crawlspaces, storage sheds, barns, water meter boxes, etc. Farmers are discovering them in their wells and I will remove those too. I have had residential and commercial customers. The removal of the bees is of first importance. Preservation of the colony and relocation to a new home is important, but second. Fees are reasonable & negotiable. Call if you have any questions.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Squirrels are like scent detectives. They rely heavily on their noses to locate their next meal and cozy shelter. But guess what? They're not fans of certain scents like coffee grounds, peppermint, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, and predator urine. You can try some natural squirrel-repellent tricks by whipping up a garlic and vinegar spray concoction and applying it daily to areas you want to protect.

Other than blasting aphids away with your hose set to jet, insecticides offer the quickest way to kill aphids on contact. Protect other insects and critters by choosing a natural insecticide for your garden, which can be as effective as a synthetic one.

Yes, water misters can temporarily keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away, as these will wet their wings and make them unable to fly. However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it’s not a permanent or long-term solution. It’s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.

Vinegar can be an insect repellant, as many bugs find its scent off-putting. However, vinegar is acidic and may also cause damage to any plants it comes in contact with. If you'd like to use vinegar to deter pests in your garden, be careful not to spray it directly on the plant's leaves or stems.

It's also worth noting that vinegar's effects can be short. To continue to repel bugs, you'll need to spray vinegar repeatedly. 

Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.
