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."
"Dave Guerrant from Bulwark Pest Control came to my house for Pest control. I have had Bulwark do my Pest control for several years and have always been very pleased with their work. Dave was very polite and personable and obviously knows his job!"

Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.
When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:
Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
In general, mouse droppings can remain infectious for 2 to 3 days at room temperature. Through their urine and feces, rodents can spread harmful diseases to humans. Common infectious diseases include hantavirus, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and LCM.
However, depending on the specific virus and environmental conditions, mouse droppings can carry viruses for shorter or longer periods of time. For example, Salmonella can survive in mouse droppings several days and even weeks.
Carpenter bees do not make honey like honey bees, but they are still essential pollinators. In fact, they have a unique talent called "buzz pollination," in which they use the vibration from their wings to help release pollen from the flowers' anthers. Honey bees are also vital pollinators but do not use this process because they are too small and lack the strength required to buzz pollinate.
