"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. "
"I was pleased with Bradford Pest Control and the work that was done. Ray was not only on time but early for the appointment. When Ray had to come in the house to spray for ants he removed his shoes so dirt, grass, etc would not be tracked through the house. I would recommend this company and use them again."
"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!"
To keep wasps away from your home, you can consult with an exterminator about preventative measures and potential follow-up visits. For a non-lethal approach, consider installing a fake wasp nest, as this can deter wasps from building their own nearby. You can also use natural repellents. Wasps dislike the smell of substances like coffee grounds, cinnamon, and vinegar. Additionally, planting certain plants in your garden or in pots near doors can help repel them; these include eucalyptus, peppermint, lemongrass, and basil.
To keep animals away from your trash, you can spray store-bought ammonia-based cleaners on the bag or make your own spray. All you need is a spray bottle with one part ammonia and one part water. Once you’ve sprayed the bags, keep your kids and pets away.
Yes, termites in your yard can be something to be concerned about, especially if they’re close to your home. While not all outdoor colonies pose an immediate threat, termites can move from wood piles, tree stumps, or mulch, eventually making their way to your home’s structure. If you see mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarming activity, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional termite inspection to prevent potential infestation.
Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes. As long as the dryer isn’t stuffed to the brim, you can run it on high for about 30 minutes to kill bed bugs at all life stages. This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.
First, you’ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you’ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don’t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment.
