"On 6/4/18, Corey at 1st Response came to our home as a follow up to correct poor service that we initially received from another team member. Together, Lisa and Corey resolved the issue. Lisa provided exceptional service in the office with customer resolution, scheduling & billing. Corey provided professional and honest service at our home during the extermination. That is exactly what we expected when we called 1st Response. I strongly recommend 1st Response because they resolved our carpenter ant problem in just one follow up visit."

"Zack called prior to showing up. When he arrived he went over our supposed carpenter ant problem. This was our main reason for calling Buckeye as we were told they were carpenter ants. After agreeing to a quarterly program which offered substantial savings to us Zach got to work. Sprayed inside and out putting granular around outside of our home. He then told us that they were not carpenter ants but probably ants that were carrying sawdust left from our construction from 5 years ago. So that eased our worries alot. Zach was very professional in his dealings and servicing of our property. Buckeye is very fortunate to have an employee that cares for his customers and is excited in doing his job. Thank you Buckeye we look forward to your servicing our home for the foreseeable future. Rush and Debby Fielding"

"Adams Pest Control was incredible! O'Connor showed excellent service by showing me where I was having problems with the ants and spiders in my house. After just a few days, they were gone! They gave me an in-depth termite & rodent inspection too. Doesn't get much better than that. I'm excited to be with them this year. Thank you guys!"

Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
Heat treatments
Freezing treatments
Traps
Barriers
Chemical pesticides
Fumigation
Rodenticides
Mechanical devices
Repellants
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
There are specific methods for pest removal that you can DIY without hiring an expert. If you are preventing pests from making an appearance or clearing out a small infestation of harmless insects, you will likely have success on your own. However, if you’re dealing with pests that eat wood, bedbugs, or other pests that carry a disease risk, like rodents, it’s always worth it to call a pest professional to help you.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
While not every infestation is preventable, there are some actions you can take to minimize the risk of running into these pests in your home. These actions include:
Keeping your home tidy. This includes vacuuming regularly, sanitizing your kitchen, storing food in airtight containers, disposing garbage regularly, and keeping your home clutter-free.
Deep clean at least twice a year. Deep cleaning neglected crevices and corners of your home can help prevent breeding grounds from forming.
Repairing your home when needed. If your home has cracks or holes, you have an open invitation for pests to come in. Remove any standing water and seal any gaps in your floors, walls, and foundation.
Cleaning up your yard. Keep shrubbery and branches well-trimmed and away from your home. Remove fallen leaves and other debris.
Be smart with storage. If you use firewood, store it away from the home (at least 20 feet away if possible) and off of the ground.
