Eastside Exterminators is fabulous! Professional, friendly, and informational. Everyone I dealt with in their office, from the person answering the phone, to the inspector, to the insulation installers, to the rat-proofing expert were all knowledgeable and great to work with. I continue to use their services for traps and removal services. And best of all, still no rats in the crawl space!
I would definitely use them for any future pest issues.
"Initial visit - blocked outside access to crawl space & set traps. 2 return visits to pick up dead rats and reset traps. Gave advice on how to further ways to block access. I trapped some of the inside rats, and they kept the crawl space cleared with traps set. I have signed up for 2 additional monthly visits to make sure I am on top of the problem. Ask for Don, he is super friendly and concientious."
"Hired Edge for quarterly pest control. Their company provided pest control at my previous residence and they did a great job. I rceived the same excellent service this time."
"Independent Pests Solutions was on time, clean, thoughtful of my home, and property, and did not try to upsell me. I truly was impressed. Their number is now on my cell phone not to be forgotten."
"We tried this provider twice to trap a number of moles wreaking havoc on our property. Both times (over the course of 8 weeks) they caught only 1 of the moles. We continued having mole problems throughout the service period and afterwards. "

Most bugs that get into and reside inside our homes are harmless. However, you should address the presence of harmful ones, such as bed bugs, roaches, or termites, that can harm you and your home. Additionally, if you notice a significant increase in bug sightings of any kind, it's a good time to perform a home inspection, looking for water or structural damage that could be inviting them in.
Using rat poison in your crawl space can be risky. While it may kill rats, they can die in hard-to-reach places, causing foul odors and attracting other pests. Yikes. Moreover, secondary poisoning can happen to pets if they consume poisoned rats. If you decide to use poison, consult a local exterminator for guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Preventatives include frequent washing of pet bedding, regular vacuuming, flea-preventative applications, and avoiding infested areas.
The most effective natural roach repellent is Borax with its key ingredient of boric acid and diatomaceous earth. But some homeowners may not feel like these are “natural” enough, especially since you can’t use Borax around curious pets or toddlers.
On the other hand, studies have shown that oregano oil mixtures have some of the best repellent effects, and other research indicates that catnip oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils have notable effects on keeping roaches away. Rosemary oil has been shown to be the most effective natural oil for killing cockroaches outright.
Spiders have lots of scent-sensitive hairs on their legs. Scented oils they aren’t fans of can act as a natural spider repellent to help keep their populations at bay when you rub them around your home’s entry points. Studies suggest mint and chestnut oils are two scents that spiders hate.
