"Reliable, responsive, professional company with a team that made a bad pest situation bearable. Arron was professional and knowledgeable, he eliminated the pest issue in the first visit and validated that the pests did not return on follow-up visits. We continue to use Batzner and participate in their seasonal pest control program. They are proactive about scheduling seasonal appointments around our schedule which is awesome. Would recommend Betzner to friends and family without hesitation."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Generally, the chemicals in hornet venom deliver a more painful sting than wasp stings. But wasps can still pack a punch when they sting, especially if they sting multiple times. One of the most painful insect stings in the world is that of the tarantula hawk. Fortunately, this sting is usually only an issue if you’re a tarantula.

Yes, getting rid of bed bugs without an exterminator is possible. However, it will take significantly longer and more effort than professional extermination. Using a HEPA vacuum, steaming, sealing, and other DIY removal methods work with consistent effort. Plus, it won’t guarantee to clear the entire infestation, so you may need to apply several follow-up treatments.

Yes, badgers are aggressive mammals, which is why it’s important to safely remove them from your home or garden area as soon as possible. Keep in mind though, badgers rarely attack pets or people, but their sharp claws and even sharper teeth can make them dangerous if they feel threatened.

Like many pests, fleas hide in dark, sheltered areas, including in the bed. They will seek out crevices in a mattress, so they have easy access to their hosts (you and your pets) as well as somewhere that is warm and hidden. You may also find fleas hiding in carpeting and other furniture.

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.
