"Scott did and excellent job. He even worked around my crazy schedule. Very professional and knowledge. I would recommend his services to anyone with a pest issue."
"Staff was courteous and prompt for a one time service. The treatment was only partially successful. One hornet nest was inactive after one day. The second nest is still active four days after treatment. I will probably not use a pest service in the future. It is not economical for me."
"The Pest Control employee arrived earlier than told. He went to work outside and then inside. He asked questions about were the bug problem was the worst. He was very polite and informative."
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
"First Choice Pest Control is a great business. Hunter removed three live baby raccoons from our attic on a very hot day. He stayed with it until he succeeded and the cost was very reasonable. Highly recommended!"
"I wasn't sure what the issue was when I first called Chris. He was able to pinpoint the issue (mice) and the entry points into my home they were using. He then set a series of traps to verify they were indeed mice. Chris was honest and up front about his prices and services. He came back to check the traps to verify it was a mice issue, returning as many times as necessary until the mice were gone. He even gave me a separate quote for sealing the entry points and sanitizing the areas the mice were in, giving me the choice to have him do as much or as little work as I felt was necessary. He performed the work above and was at my house when promised. I would recommend Chris and Bauer Wildlife and Pest Solutions to anyone who is having issues."
"Eric was completely professional at all times. Small pest problem was taken care of quickly. My wife and I could not be more happy with EV pest Control. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed."
When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.
The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.
One of the best ways to get rid of mice is to prevent them from showing up in the first place with smart tricks—like placing a deterrent around the foundation of your house. Try building a barrier of rocks to make it harder for such rodents to get cozy in the small corners and crawl spaces that might give them access to the interior.
You can easily find sprays that claim they are safe for pets and kids. However, we’d rather not use them in our own homes if we’re worried about pet safety: They still include pesticides and other chemicals, and are best avoided in any food prep areas like the kitchen, or any spots where children and pets may place. That’s why sprays didn’t end up in our suggestions for the safest options.
No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.
An outdoor mister can help repel certain bugs like mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. However, not all pesticides can be applied using a misting system. Mosquito treatments are particularly effective when applied this way because the insecticides that are inside of the water droplets dispersed through the area land in the places where mosquitoes (and their larva) are most likely to congregate.
