"The problem has been cleared up completely. The pest control man also noticed bees swarming outside and got rid of them and some ants. He was very professional and courteous and thorough. I highly recommend this company."
"I spoke with Cindy at Apple Pest Control and a few other employees and they were all very friendly and nice. They were very professional and courteous. If I need their service in the future I will definitely give them a call."
"We're still in the process of removing rodents, but they've been great at accommodating my schedule and alleviating my anxiety about rodents. They communicate very efficiently, and always get back to me quickly. So far, I highly recommend this company."
"Called in for Possum and skunk hanging out in my backyard. Chris and Adrian came out and setup traps. They were very professional and great at what they do. Caught both culprits. I would recommend Critter Pros if you're dealing with any wildlife type issues."
"I had an emergency with raccoons having invaded my attic causing failure of air conditioning and damage to ductwork. The next day the company was out to evaluate and schedule a sealing of the house with one way trap installed to prevent reentry. Bait canisters were placed for any possible rodent activity. Weekly checks of bait canisters to see if active and thankfully all raccoons had exited the attic rapidly so ductwork could be repaired/replaced. The workmanship was very professional and appointment times were met. The company allowed the sealing of house to force raccoons out of attic ahead of their normal routine of rodent removal first to accommodate my need to get an HVAC company rapidly to be able to cool the house during hottest summer of many years. I was initially attracted to the companyâ s webpage because of being family owned and veterans which I soon learned were all former Navy Seals. This afternoon the final seal of the house was performed and Iâ m hopeful that all is well in the attic again. If there are any signs of a problem the work is guaranteed for a year and that brings peace of mind as although the cost is fair it is still expensive for a retired senior. I would recommend this company highly to anyone having similar serious problems. The local San Antonio branch of Guaranteed Rodent removal and pest control personnel are comfortable to have in your home and that was a big plus for me."

"Foxie Pest Control was amazing! I had a raccoon in my attic, and they came out right away to take care of the problem. They thoroughly inspected my home and showed me exactly where the raccoon was getting in. They also pointed out several openings around my attic that I didn’t even know were there and explained how those areas could allow wildlife to enter. I really appreciated how they took the time to educate me and answer all of my questions. They were professional, honest, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thanks to Foxie Pest Control, I feel safe in my home again. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with wildlife or pest issues!"

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.
Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don’t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.
The average lifespan of a stink bug is about six to eight months, depending on species and environmental conditions. Their life cycle includes three stages: Egg, nymph, and adult. Eggs hatch in roughly five days to two weeks, followed by a four to six-week nymph stage where they grow and molt. Once fully matured, adult stink bugs focus on reproduction and can fly to new areas, often seeking refuge in homes in search of warmth.
Contact pest control if you have a stink bug infestation that you need to eliminate quickly. It’s difficult to kill them without crushing them and releasing their signature odor, or without using a toxic insecticide. Some homeowners have had luck with peppermint oil sprays or soapy water traps. But a professional exterminator will have the best advice and course of action.
Trapping is generally not recommended, as even gentle traps can become as inhumane as kill traps if a rabbit is caught and stuck for several days. Additionally, capturing one rabbit isn’t likely to prevent other rabbits from wandering your yard. If you choose this method, it's essential to use live traps designed for humane capture and release of the rabbits in a suitable, safe habitat far from your property. Be sure to set a reminder and check the trap at least twice per day.
