"They sent Alex Moser to inspect and treat the issue. We’ve had different pest control companies over the years in previous houses and Alex was far and away the best we’ve ever met. He was professional, patient, and clearly knew his information inside and out. He answered all our questions and behaved as if we were the only customer he had that day. So many companies seem focused on transactions and fast revenue, our experience today was the opposite - it felt like they actually cared about us as customers. Eastside Exterminators are family owned and it felt like it. We’ve decided to hire them for regular service based purely on how Alex showed up."
"Don is very knowledgeable and looks for the small things that can help keep the rats out of my house (like stapling hardware cloth around the propane (spigot ? ) on the outside of my house."
"Their initial contact was extremely fast. The rental I was calling about was a pretty severe case of flea infestation. The technician came out, assessed the environment, which required bagging clothes and exposing as much of the carpet and floor surface as possible, before spraying. He was more concerned about ensuring their service would be successful, rather than spraying upon his initial visit and most likely requiring a follow-up application. He also indicated a couple other activities that should be performed, to minimize the possibility of a subsequent infestation. In this COVID-19 environment, having a company and technicians who are more concerned about resolution of an issue than making money impressed me. The friendly and informative staff at Independent Pest Solutions have shown me my go-to provider for pest control. Thank you Michael and Independent Pest Solutions! Sincerely, Ray G."

"I was going insane when a mole took up residence in my yard. My exterminator gave me contact info for Mole Masters. I researched them and sent an email. They offered to come over the very next day. It took several weeks - apparently I had a very smart one who managed to elude the traps. Finally in week 3 - SUCCESS! One little critter caused so much damage and I was so grateful to be rid of this thing. HIGHLY recommend these guys. They were quick to respond, quick to set up the traps and got the job done!"
"When called to make an appointment, the customer service was great. The technician that came out was thorough. The fee to spray the house one time was a little steep, I still had some pests hanging around but not nearly as much as there was before the spray. I would consider using this company again but I think I would call around to see what other companies charge for a one time house spray."
Regular cleaning, proper food storage, sealing entry points, and professional inspections help prevent infestations.
Maintaining a clean environment can deter spiders to a certain extent by removing clutter and reducing the number of insects they prey on. Spiders tend to favor secluded spots to spin their webs and hunt for prey, and regular cleaning practices such as dusting, vacuuming, and decluttering can disrupt these ideal conditions. Despite these preventive measures, some spider species are highly adaptable and may still infiltrate your home despite your best efforts to maintain a tidy living space.
Flea eggs can’t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue.
Flea eggs also can’t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer.
If you’re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It’s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it’s on a sturdy surface so it can’t wobble or tip (squirrels aren’t likely to walk in a trap that isn’t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait—in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.
Most spiders are harmless or do little more than the equivalent of a bee sting. Prevention is the best option for more serious cases. Keep spiders out of your home when possible. When you find spiders, a spider nest, or egg sac, remove it quickly before an inquisitive pet or child gets involved. When children are old enough, teach them to recognize the few dangerous species of spiders and avoid them to prevent getting bitten.
