"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
Maintaining a clean environment can deter spiders to a certain extent by removing clutter and reducing the number of insects they prey on. Spiders tend to favor secluded spots to spin their webs and hunt for prey, and regular cleaning practices such as dusting, vacuuming, and decluttering can disrupt these ideal conditions. Despite these preventive measures, some spider species are highly adaptable and may still infiltrate your home despite your best efforts to maintain a tidy living space.
You should not spray pesticides of any kind into your air vents. The spray won’t reach far into the vent, minimizing its effectiveness in killing roaches, but more importantly, it’s dangerous for people and pets to inhale these chemicals. Roach spray is not a natural roach repellent, and it’s not safe to spray into air vents.
You can use bleach to kill fruit flies, but it's not the best option because bleach can be toxic to people when used on surfaces. It also isn't as effective as killing flies in drains, as it passes through the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.
Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.
If your stump has a pest problem, don’t worry; it won’t slow down the stump grinding process. It might even speed it up. But you may want to contact pest control afterward if it looks like a spreading infestation.
