"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."
"Great work. Provided sensible solutions at reasonable price. All work done professionally and pleasantly. Followed up on tap checks without prompting. Even took care of a wasp nest while they were there."
"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!"
"American Rodent Control returned to move the one way door to another location to be sure all of the squirrels were OUT of my bedroom walls and attic. The office staff and the workers were all very respectful and efficient. I would DEFINITELY recommend this company to eliminate small unwelcome animals from your home!"
DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.
Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective.
Ticks are most commonly found behind (or even inside) ears, behind knees, in belly buttons, in the hair, and in your underarms. If you find a tick on your body or on your pet, use a pair of clean tweezers to grab the tick as close to the surface of your skin as possible. If you simply yank or twist it, you can leave the tick’s mouth parts lodged in your skin and will need to remove those carefully with the tweezers.
Once you have removed the tick, flush it down the toilet and wash your skin with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Know the signs of lyme disease such as fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a rash.
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.
The main things to consider when hiring an exterminator is your infestation size and budget. The price range for roach extermination varies widely depending on the circumstances. If it’s a localized infestation that only requires a few treatments from an exterminator, it will probably only cost hundreds of dollars at most. But if you have a large house and a widespread infestation, be prepared to pay thousands of dollars for fumigation and tenting.
