"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."
"Sent in a request and I received a prompt response!! Critter pros worked with my schedule to come out and inspect, prices were very reasonably and they were very professional and did great work! Definitely will be using them again!!"
"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 Pest Control employee arrived earlier than told. He went to work outside and then inside. He asked questions about were the bug problem was the worst. He was very polite and informative."
"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."
Cockroaches, ants, flies, bed bugs, and termites are common in business environments.
Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.
Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them.
Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.
Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it’s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it’s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won’t harm geese, but it will deter them.
In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.
