"I noticed a swarm of ants crawling around my window and into and out of openings in my home. After some research I determined that they might be carpenter ants making a home in our house. I called another pest control company and they tried to sign me up for an expensive contract, when all I wanted was getting the problem fixed. Beeline gave me a very narrow time window (2 hours as opposed to the 6 hours another service company had given me) and they actually ended up arriving early! After a quick inspection, the tech said that they were Acrobat Ants and explained to me how tell the difference between Carpenter and Acrobat ants. He treated the problem quickly and was very professional."
"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."
"Can’t recommend Family Pest Control enough! They are professional, timely, and are very transparent with money. Hire these guys, you won’t regret it!"
"I was apprehensive about using any pest control service for a major flea infestation at a rental property. I was told by many people that it would be next to impossible to get rid of the fleas. Pro Defense knocked them out without a problem! Great communication and awesome customer service. I will use them anytime I need the services of a pest control company. Thanks!!"
"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."
"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 waited until the entire process was completed to write this. They were very professional, very thorough, and very prompt. I especially like the guarantee. After they sealed the house, the little beasties gnawed a new hole to get in, So I called Guaranteed when I saw the new hole. They had a guy out within the hour to fix the new problem -- late on the Friday afternoon before Memorial Day. Yes I recommend to anyone who wants to get rid of rodent pests in their house. Now if I could just keep the squirrels out of my tomatoes."
"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!"
"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."
Treating a property for ticks costs between $50 and $150 on average. This preventative measure may be necessary if you live in an area with high tick presence or suspect a tick infestation on your property. Prices will vary based on your landscape, the size of the treatment area, and the severity of the infestation.
While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What’s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.
Yes, predator decoys work to keep birds away, at least temporarily. However, if the decoy remains motionless in the same spot for a long enough time, the birds will eventually wise up and realize it's a fake. Keep changing the location of the predator decoy to ensure that the birds keep their guard up and maintain their distance.
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.
If you spot a wasp nest on your property, call a professional exterminator as quickly as possible. The longer you wait to call a pro to remove the wasps, the more you risk a painful sting. The concern is elevated if you or any family members are allergic to wasps or bees—the sooner you remove the threat, the better.
