"We had a bat flying around the inside of our home. This was late at night. I put the information in on Home Advisor and not longer than a minute my phone rings and it is Norm from All Pest. This mind you is late on Saturday night. I think he even offered to come that night We shut the interior doors and wherever the bat was, we felt we were safe enough for the night. Mind you I slept with one eye open, a broom, and flashlight just in case. Norm said he would call the next day. Sure enough first thing in the morning he called. He told us how much for the visit, which was reasonable based on this was now a Sunday and they were taking their time to come over. Long story short, he did a search of the perimeter of the house along with his son Billie. They were looking for points of entry. Did not find much, but we had one area where an eve overlapped another roof line. Came in and starting looking and behold they found the bat within minutes. Captured bat, put in a container and removed. Then Billie went into the attic to search the area for signs of an infestation. After words he went on the roof, to check for points of entry, even though we found no physical evidence of their existence after the attic search. Needless to say, we feel their service was excellent. In fact it is a role model of what excellent service should be. He responded immediately. Came over on a Sunday morning, and found the bat, which quite frankly I did not expect. This is a big house with lots of nooks and trims that provide plenty of hiding spaces. I do not think I could have found a company that did as good of job as Norm and Billie did. I do not like to rank companies because in todays arena most companies are just not that good at customer service. I give these guys a 5 star rating because we literally could not have gotten faster and results oriented and thorough service from another company the way these two performed. It is with total honesty and accuracy that we give them this rating."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

There are several things to consider before you hire a professional exterminator:

  • Do they have the proper licensing?

  • Are they experienced?

  • Do they use eco-friendly products?

  • Are their products pet safe?

These are questions to ask yourself when you’re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.

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.

As a general rule, if you hear an animal in your attic, don’t assume it will stay there. Animals are drawn to warmth and food sources, which could lead them to other parts of your house. In particular, it’s likely that small pests such as rats and mice that only need tiny gaps to squeeze through will end up in your walls and ductwork. Larger animals like raccoons may be limited to an enclosed attic.

Raccoons are primarily crepuscular and nocturnal, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and throughout the night. While less common, they may come out during the day to find food, especially in warm months or during the spring birthing season (April and May) when caring for their young. Seasonally, raccoons are active year-round and do not truly hibernate. However, during periods of severe cold, they will often remain in their dens for extended periods.

Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren’t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called “child-resistant,” but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can’t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don’t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets.
