"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!!"

"Colt Pest control reached out right away after my inquiry and an appt was made to discuss my problem and options. Chance came and walked around my property then offered a variety of options that I could chose from. He was realistic and financially conscious with his recommendations. I had a rodent problem , Chance made multiple trips the first week and his service has been very effective. I would ( and will) recommend Colt Pest control for any rodent control issues. This is a reliable and professional service at a $$ that won't break the bank. Bonnied"

"At first, they put bait out to determine if we had squirrels or rats. We ended up having a raccoon in the attic. They came back four times and sealed up all access spots. Very thorough and friendly."

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:

  • Peppermint oil

  • Eucalyptus oil

  • Cinnamon

  • Vinegar

  • Cedarwood 

  • Cloves

  • Garlic

  • Chili oil/powder

  • Cayenne pepper

When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: 

  • Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.  

  • Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. 

  • Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.

There are several possible reasons for a gnat infestation, and they vary based on the type of insect. One common reason is overwatering houseplants, which can create a moist environment that is attractive to fungus gnats. Another reason is leaving fruit out on the counter for too long, which can attract fruit flies. Drain flies are typically attracted by standing water and bacteria that are often the result of buildup or a clog in your drain or sewer line.

Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don’t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won’t leave, it’s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.

If you’re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It’s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it’s on a sturdy surface so it can’t wobble or tip (squirrels aren’t likely to walk in a trap that isn’t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait—in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.
