Sincerely, a very loyal customer!!!!"
"First of all, it was very quick to setup an appointment with them. Second, they do two weeks inter fulls of spraying. Meaning, they do the first week of spraying inside and outside and then return in two weeks. Right now we have a week left before they come back to follow up. When they come inside your home, they do every room and there isnâ t any smell. On the outside they go inside the garage, around the home and wherever the nest maybe for the ants. They will do the very same thing when they return. In the meantime, we havenâ t seen any ants."
"Tommy is very amicable and respectful. He does a thorough job and will answer your questions as he is working. Since I just moved here from Alaska, I wanted to know what kind of insects I will see. We have big spiders up there but not much else in the way of pests (except Wasps/Hornets) I have set up a schedule to have this service done on a regular bi-monthly. Now I feel that there won't be much in the way of pests! i highly recommend Salisbury Pest Solutions!"
"We have been using Western Extermination for years and have always been happy with the service and professionalism. We have been lucky to have Raul Gonzalez as our exterminator over the years and would highly recommend his work. Not only are all issues handled quickly and well, but Raul also is full of information and insight on how to best keep our establishment free from pests."
"Pest Wise is professional and extremely thorough. We had bugs and spiders that disappeared so quickly after our home was treated. They did our inside, outside, garage. We have pets, none of them got sick. Overall we have had great results from this company and will be continuing to use their services!"
It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can’t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.
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.
Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.
Yes, most exterminators or pest control services provide free estimates to potential customers. It’s a good idea to get at least three estimates to compare prices and services unless you have an emergency that can’t wait to gather estimates. When providing the exterminators information for the estimate, be sure to include as much specific information as possible, include the suspected type of pest, how many you’ve seen, and other warning signs.
Gnats may eventually go away on their own, but it depends on the source of their attraction. If the environment that’s attracting them—such as overwatered plants, moist areas, or food debris—isn't addressed, they can persist or even increase in numbers. Reducing moisture, improving drainage, and cleaning up organic matter can help eliminate them. Without these changes, gnats are likely to stick around and continue breeding, making it important to remove their breeding grounds to get rid of them for good.
