"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."
"They were very prompt getting out here. They listened to my concerns and answered my questions. They did a follow-up when I needed one. I was very comfortable having them here and doing the work."
"After calling my normal service provider on Friday (when I discovered the animal in my basement), I was told I could not get service until Monday. I googled pest control and found 1st Choice. I called and the person I spoke with guaranteed a service specialist would be here by afternoon, which gave me peace of mind. Corky, the service specialist, was courteous, thorough, informative, and friendly. We are switching to 1st Choice for all future services."
"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."
"Paul is reassuringly genuine and knowledgeable! We talked at length about mouse issues. I was convinced of his expertise and sincerity and that he means to bring a quality service to you at a reasonable value WITHOUT a CONTRACT like so many of the big pest control companies push. Because I have 2 indoor/outdoor cats, I'm trying a "humane pest control" provider recommended by my veterinarian first. If their methods don't work, I would trust Paul to do the job that needs to get done. He was expedient in responding to my call for help!"
Roaches won’t sting your pets and don’t have venom like spiders do , but they present other dangers. Cockroaches are notorious carriers of diseases like salmonella and parasites like tapeworms. Because they’re so dirty, their bites (otherwise harmless) can also get infected. You don’t want your pets chasing and trying to eat cockroaches, or sleeping near a roach infestation.

Cinnamon's warm scent appeals to many people but not to many bugs. The spice contains eugenol, which also happens to be used in insecticides. While the level of eugenol in cinnamon isn't enough to eliminate bugs on its own, the scent can be strong enough to keep them away.
You can try sprinkling cinnamon around areas where you've seen insects, such as ants and mosquitos. Remember that you'll have to reapply frequently, especially after periods of rain.
