"Service was great. I used Pest Now in Northern Virginia for many years and was very happy with them. Recently moved to Richmond and was very glad to find they service this area. "
"Michael was quick to respond to our service request, and was at our house within 2 hours of the phone call...during rush hour. He was friendly, professional, efficient and personablel. My husband and I appreciated that he really took his time talking to us, and not just about pests. It's nice to deal with the owner of a small business, as opposed to a large company. Michael Didn't treat us like we were just a number. He even took the time to remember my kids names while he was here, and on his way out helped my daughter pick up a lego from the floor. His pricing was also great, and we really felt comfortable signing up for a monthly program with him. I'd highly recommend him to anyone needing pest control who is looking for great customer service. We couldn't be happier!"
Professional pest control works faster than any DIY method, so it’s the way to go if you want your pest problem gone ASAP. A basic treatment can take place in under six hours, while larger fumigations may take up to a week. You should start noticing a significant reduction in pests within a couple of days, with full results in about a week on average.
Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you’re concerned about the environment, a natural mosquito repellant may be better than either fogging or spraying.
Yes, it is generally safe to return to your house once the pest control professionals have granted permission. Keep in mind that you’ll only need to evacuate your home during extreme pest control treatments, such as whole-home fumigation, while more minor treatments don’t require leaving. When you return home, be sure to follow the pest pro’s instructions carefully, especially those surrounding wait times and safety precautions.
Bed bugs typically live between 10 months to one year, but they lay enough eggs that an infestation can continue to multiply and worsen without professional intervention. These pests can survive up to one year without eating, so you can’t expect a bed bug infestation to resolve without proper treatment.
Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.
