We are a family owned company with over 15 years of experience. 90% of my business comes from word of mouth so nothing but the highest level of quality goes into every job.

"Called him, described job; he said he'd call back. He didn't, so I called again. He said he was busy but he'd call back in a couple of weeks. He never did."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it’s still prime mosquito season.

This varies based on the circumstance. Chemical-based pest control baits and poisons are usually the most potent, but they are unsafe to use around children and pets, so they won’t be a fit for every household.

Safer alternatives, such as boric acid and food-grade diatomaceous earth, can work as well, though they should still stay out of reach. Aside from that, the best thing any DIY-er can do is make their place uninviting by sealing off entry points, eliminating clutter, and maintaining a clean home.

Fleas can live a few days to about two weeks without a host. Adult fleas have less survival time than eggs, larvae, and pupae do. It's possible for flea pupae to lay dormant and live for up to a year in optimal conditions. Cleaning and treating flea infestations is essential to prevent pupae from having the suitable conditions that allow them to survive without a host.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Other than blasting aphids away with your hose set to jet, insecticides offer the quickest way to kill aphids on contact. Protect other insects and critters by choosing a natural insecticide for your garden, which can be as effective as a synthetic one.
