"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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"
"Jacob responded quickly to my request for a quote. He called me and we talked about my termite situation. Based on our conversation he gave me a quote and said he could come out to look at the problem and confirm it if I wanted him to. He came out and looked at the job and confirmed his quote and we made an appointment for him to complete the work. Jacob is very knowledgable and pleasant to deal with and did a great job. I highly recommend South Texas Pest Control."
It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:
Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.
Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.
When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.
No, vinegar cannot kill bamboo. Common household chemicals like vinegar and even bleach are unlikely to kill bamboo, and they may only have minimal effect on bamboo roots. Since they can alter the chemical composition of nearby soil, we suggest avoiding these methods. Bamboo is very tough and not even all herbicides work well against it. To beat back bamboo, find an herbicide that’s specifically designed to work against tough grasses.
The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.
The fastest way to get rid of termites is to apply a liquid insecticide exterior barrier around your home. If you have a severe infestation, this is your best option, and we recommend having a professional exterminator tackle this project.
Squash bugs don’t bite humans or pets. Their piercing-sucking mouthparts are designed specifically for feeding on plants, not people. While they can be a major nuisance in the garden, they pose no direct physical threat to you, and you don’t need to worry about bites, stings, or venom from these pests.
