"I had a ln issue with raccoons in my attic.. these guys were prompt , professional , knowledgeable, and kept me informed all the way. I highly recommend them"
"The work and customer service is top tier. I had an issue with raccoons in my attic and a hole in my roofing that needed closing that I had no idea how I was gonna get to. Adrian showed up and had that thing closed so fast I couldn’t believe it! He also trapped the raccoons and assured me that they will humanly release them back into the wild. Overall I give 5 out of 5 stars… I highly recommend!"
"We got possibly squirrel in the attic, we can hear their noise and see what has been damaged. The work is still going on. They have come three times."
"I am very happy to give King Pest Solutions a 5 Star review. Their representative, Eric, arrived on time and gave me an overview of what he was going to do to protect our house from termites. Together we walked around the perimeter of my house and he showed me the tools he was going to use and answered all my questions before getting started. The process took about 2 1/2 hours to complete and my home is now protected. Eric was efficient and knowledgeable about the process and, once again, made sure all my questions were answered before leaving. I will certainly continue to work with King Pest Solutions in the future."
"Bandy's Pest Control is professional, pleasant, quick to respond and the owner does the work. I recommend them to everyone! They are local supporters of multiple events and our first responders. Bandy's Pest Control is the best!"
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"I have been using them for pest control for two years now. I like the owner of the company. He is straightforward, no nonsense, honest, private, does what you need, and doesn't try to sell extra stuffs. I was highly recommended about them by my friend. They do a good work. They install mosquito systems as well as traditional pest control. Their mosquito system works really well because I do not have mosquitoes and that is worth everything you spend on it. They are reasonably priced, but it's not a bargain. You get what you pay for. They were very responsive."
"I’ve been a customer for a few years now and I am ALWAYS happy with Berrett Pest Control ! They are so friendly and professional from the pest control service agents all the way to the wonderful people at their office! I would highly recommend them"
Badgers have a strong sense of smell, so it’s possible you can deter them with strong scents, such as applying citronella oil to the bottom of your fence, adding crushed scotch bonnet peppers sprinkled throughout your garden, or mixing both of these into a solution to spray around your home and garden.
According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, pyrethrins and pyrethroids are the most common chemical compounds used to get rid of bed bugs. These chemicals force bed bugs out of their hiding spots and kill them on the spot so they are eliminated for good. Only professional exterminators can apply these treatments, and they are reserved for severe infestations.
Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.
If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.
The costs vary from $150 to $1,000 per visit, depending on the infestation size, business type, and treatment frequency.
