"When I learned that VA Wildlife Removal had added "Pest Control" to their services I decided I would try their pest control services. When I called them last week, for an appointment for an inspection to address my pest concerns at my home, they arrived right when they said they would. Being a retired Marine, I recognize professional behavior when I see it. I could tell immediately Will Mills was a true professional. Will took the time to listen to my questions. He made a thorough inside, outside and perimeter inspection to see what the best approach would be for my concerns. He showed me areas that I had no idea were even a problem. He explained very clearly in words I could understand what he recommended we do, how he would do it and the next steps involved for pest management. I can recommend with confidence anyone needing help involving "Wildlife Removal" and "Pest Control". J.P. Montague Sr. MSgt. USMC Retired"

"I had a same day call from Century Pest Control about my request through Home Advisor, and they sent a technician that same afternoon. I had a hornet's nest about 30 feet up in the tree in my yard that I needed removed. Their technician, Ray, was prompt, friendly, and, faced with the difficult location, managed to spray the nest, used his ladder, and a borrowed 12 foot pole saw to cut the nest down from the tree and disposed of it. I am very pleased he was able to solve this situation for me very quickly. I definitely recommend Century Pest Control. It was a very positive experience with Century and their technician."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes, rats are social creatures that thrive together in packs. If you spot a solitary rat, there are likely more nearby. Their rapid breeding cycle and ability to slip through minute gaps in walls, floors, and foundations contribute to their presence. An infestation generally entails more than eight rats. A nest typically accommodates five to 10 of these rodents. When you spot one, it is crucial to take action. Rats can transmit diseases through urine droppings and even cause renal failure through bites.

You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties. Furthermore, these poisons can cause unnecessary suffering for the animal and pose a significant risk of accidental poisoning to pets or other neighborhood wildlife. Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.

You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a privet hedge) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them. 

While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans. 

Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.

While possums don’t typically carry rabies, they can have lice, fleas, ticks, and mites. According to the University of California’s Pest Management Program, possums can also carry diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, and fevers. Possums are also the carriers of a parasite that can pass to horses and cats called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).
