"Cyrus Neil was tech today and did great job. He even sprayed my hanging plant as he saw it was dying, my services today were dewebbing around the eaves, windows, doors, gutters, and j-rail. checked your bait stations, sprayed along the foundation, windows, doors, and gutters to create a barrier that will help keep pest out of and off your home. Great job"

"Excellent! If you care about quality work use M & S Wildlife Co. M & S Wildlife were the first company that was willing to thoroughly inspect my attic for not only squirrel activity but for any damage that the squirrels did to my wiring and roof. I never would have known I needed to attend to potentially dangerous repairs without Mikes inspection. I had other companies come prior to hiring M & S Wildlife and they did not even see I had a dead squirrel In my attic let alone any damage. Honestly, I wish I would have called them first!"

"We needed more data as to whether we had bedbugs, so we hired a canine search which indicated that we did not. The problem turned out to have a medical explanation and not a vector problem. My advice is to use everything possible to decide if the problem is really bed bugs. A well trained dog is close to 90% accurate, and add that to physical evidence, i.e., feces stains which are brown, looking in the seams of your mattress, and on your bed frame is important. There are many pictures of evidence online, so do your homework first, then the canine, then the estimates. Try not to panic. The idea of bedbugs is extremely disconcerting and emotional. It is not a disease of unkempt and unclean people. It is becoming more widespread. So try to separate yourself from the image, and think clearly and read reliable websites. Here is the result of our research. [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***] There are many photos of bed bugs, their feces, their eggs, and information as to how to investigate for them before you have someone come out. You need to educate yourself first, so that you know which questions to ask. Do not forget about using a trained dog. See my review of a canine under "Pest Control.""

"We were looking for a new pest control company after our previous one continually cancelled and underperformed. I cannot tell you how absolutely thrilled I am that we hired Structure Pest! Zack arrived on time, was very diligent in asking for our pain points and concerns and addressed each one as well as explained each service available, suggested and provided. Ants and bugs were invading our house for the season and within a day or two of treatment, they were gone. The pride they take in their job gives me all confidence in their ability to take care of our home. Thank you so much Zack!"

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

If you are not at high risk of contracting disease and take proper safety precautions, it’s considered generally safe to clean mouse droppings on your own. Before handling any droppings, make sure to put on protective equipment such as plastic gloves and a face mask. Individuals who are immunocompromised, have medical conditions, and children should especially avoid exposure to mouse droppings. 

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

There are plenty of scents spiders hate, but there are some scents scientists believe can work in the opposite way and attract them into your home. Some studies suggest that spiders may be attracted to stinky items like smelly socks. One thought is spiders are attracted to smells that attract more insects, such as mosquitos, which they feed on.

Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn’t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP.
