The technician that came to our house in 2011 also came this time around. He was friendly and informative, but no-nonsense in taking care of the services we requested. Once again the bees/wasps are almost non-existent so far this spring. There was been 100% success in getting rid of the...

Excellent. Colin was punctual, surveyed the site, explained what was going to be done and was willing to take any questions. When I gave him the "go," he dressed in a bee suit and sprayed powder in and on the hornet's nest -- at least three times. About an hour later, there were no more hornets....

I thought they were great. They were responsible, punctual, and very professional. Their quality of work is great, but the price was a little high. It wasn't that bad though. I would recommend them to others.

Steve is amazing! I called him and told him that I had an ant problem in my kitchen. The ants had been around a few days and we couldn't figure out where they were coming from. We selected AAA Pest Management because it uses "green and organic" pest solutions. We were concerned about harsh...

"Terrible! They were great when they were locally owned. Rotokil purchased them and all went down hill. The changed from quarterly to 3 times a year. Increased the price. They never tell you when they are coming. Just scheduled and hope you can let them in. Tech was great but call center and customer service is as bad as it gets. Rude and dismissive"

"Moved into a new house, discovered some evidence of mice. Schopen came to the rescue! Setting an appointment was easy, the tech arrived on time, was friendly. He did a visual inspection inside and outside of the house and patched possible entrances around the foundation. He set traps and bait stations and then came back for a maintenance check. No major evidence of intrusion--the holes they filled outside worked! I am keeping them on for maintenance and adding a spider and bugs b/c they give a single fee for maintenance on both--which is a great deal. They also have an account portal on their website so clients can track spending, notes, and appointments. One national brand came and tried to upsell me--saying that I needed them to install a barrier around my house because of some issue with my siding ($2000!) and the cost of their annual service was double Schopen. I highly recommend skipping the big-name brands and going with this family-owned business."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Rodents carry diseases and can trigger allergies, making professional control essential.

The cockroach most easily confused with water bugs is the Oriental cockroach, for several reasons. Their shape is most similar to a water bug, and they’re notorious for seeking out and living near water. If you capture one of these bugs close to a water supply, you can quickly tell if it’s an Oriental roach or a water bug. These roaches are a darker color, and they cannot fly, while water bugs are a lighter brown and can fly to escape.

There are some clear signs of a termite infestation, including damaged drywall, bubbling under paint, peeling paint, sagging or loose boards, and more. Termites typically leave behind a trail on the surface and interior of your drywall as they chew through it. Look for small, pin-sized holes in drywall or wallpaper to determine whether termites have made their way inside.

Bed bugs bite your body to feed on blood. When they bite, they inject an anticoagulant, which is why you may see blood stains on your sheets if you have an infestation. The bed bugs tend to bite in clusters, so the bite marks will look like itchy, red spots in zigzagging lines of three to five bites per cluster on your skin.

The bites are itchy, but for most people, they do not cause serious or long-term health complications. Itching the wound excessively could lead to an infection, and some people are allergic to bed bugs.

Scarecrows and lifelike animal decoys, such as snakes, owls, coyotes, foxes, and hawks, can initially deter rabbits. However, these tactics might lose effectiveness if rabbits learn they are harmless. Having your dog or cat roam and mark the yard with their scent can also prove beneficial. Keep in mind tactics like these work best when combined with other methods.
