"We had hired another pest control person to trap and remove varmints who had created a void under our front porch. He set a trap which captured a skunk. However after failing to respond to my calls / texts for two days, I had an urgency to have the skunk removed and released from the trap. That's when I used the Angi app and Apple Pest Control was recommended. I called their office the next morning and within 90 minutes Stan arrived and professionally removed the entrapped skunk, removing it to a distant rural location where it was released. Since then Stan has trapped several raccoons, a possum and skunk, helping us rid these pests from our property. I highly recommend Apple Pest Control"
"First-time customer. Need to rid of ants in kitchen and roaches and spiders throughout house. Technician did a $99 One Shot service, with 30 day guarantee. Its been 6 weeks and bugs haven't returned. Jorge informed the ants are carpenter ants; climb trees and trees resting on roof's edge. Carpenter ants require a $200+ treatment to rid."
"I called Critter Pros because we had a dead deer in our yard. Adrian came out on the spot and picked it up. He was very respectful and honest. We had called a few other places but they were way overpriced. Critter Pros was by far the most affordable and the best service!"
"Ginx was a great resource in evicting some very determined ring-tailed cats from my attic. My roof is very steep and complex, and they were able to identify the entrances and seal them up. Three other pest control companies were not successful in finding the entrances. Excellent follow-up to ensure there were no more issues. Highly recommend."
"Our first experience with Family Pest Control was excellent. Bob and his crew arrived right on time and set to work. I must say that all are very pleasant, did an excellent job of "Our fall clean up" When the job was completed for today Ron explained everything, made suggestions to improve our lawn and garden. Would hire them again and also recommend them"
"Super service and on time as per the contract. They rid the raccoon problem from my attic, hey have lots of experience. The only thing is I think they were too expensive."
"The BEST pest control company. Hassle free and addresses all of our concerns with great professionalism, attention to detail, prompt responses, and education to clients. Beyond 5 star service!"
"Excellent service! Professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the treatment, answered all my questions, and the results were immediate. It’s clear he takes pride in his work. I have been a customer of his since 2020 and I highly recommend him to anyone needing reliable pest control."
Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.
The cost of pest control services depends on various factors, but the average homeowner pays around $175, with a typical range of $100 to $500. Your final cost will be influenced by the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of treatments needed.
Service costs also vary by frequency:
One-time service: $300–$550
Initial visit for ongoing service: $150–$300
Monthly visits: $40–$70
Quarterly visits: $100–$300
Annual visits: $300–$550
For specific pest examples, getting rid of spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, whereas a termite infestation can cost from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage.
The cost for bird and bat control services typically ranges from $300 to $1,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the size and severity of the infestation, the specific removal method used, and the complexity of accessing the affected areas.
Pest control measures for bird and bat issues typically last from several weeks to months, depending on the effectiveness of the implemented solutions and the return of conducive conditions.
Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn’t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home’s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.
