"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."
"Jada with Spring Green pest control was great! I was given a detailed explanation on what would be expected from Spring Green. I was also given options on when Spring Green would be available to treat my residence. I would recommend Spring Green to anyone looking for pest control."
"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."
"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."
"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."
Armadillos are not considered friendly animals. They are solitary and tend to avoid human interaction. While not aggressive, they can be shy and reclusive, often scurrying away when approached. Armadillos may carry diseases, so handling them is not advised.
Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.
There’s indeed no guarantee termites won’t return to your home, even after top-notch professional treatment. In areas where these hardy pests are prevalent, it can be tricky to banish them for good.
However, maintaining preventative measures, keeping a close eye out for early signs, and purchasing an ongoing professional treatment management plan can ensure you keep termites at bay and reduce the chance of any damage. Professional whole-house termite treatments can last five years or more.
The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.
Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.
