"1st Response was truly the first to respond to our inquiry. They were timely, polite, efficient, punctual and knowledgeable. From the initial phone call to me after the inquiry to Sean who arrived promptly at our home. Sean reviewed the wood damage we had in our garage and explained throroughly and clearly why he did not think it is from termites (or any other insects). There was no charge for the inspection, which was a great benefit, and would be good reason to use this company if I had need to in the future. Couldn't have been happier with their service."

"Jake with Buckeye Wildlife Solutions, stopped by looked at our situation, we thought we had a squirrel in the attic, turned out to be bates. Jake did a full inspection and prepared an estimate for the work that would need to be performed. We scheduled a time to have the eviction process started and Jake came to our home, installed all the necessary screens, evacuating tubes, and sealed all the cracks and crevices that led into our homes attic. We are not waiting on Jake to come back and remove the tubes, seal the holes and inspect and clean the attic. This has been a good experience so far. I will update my comments, once the job is complete."

"Adams will be my go-to pest control service moving forward. I found a yellow jacket nest in my yard while mowing and put out a request for service via Angi. Adams was quick to respond and O'Connor came out to inspect. He was flexible in scheduling a time to come out and deal with it the next day. Here's the thing, on that first day he was out, we walked over a portion of my yard to get to inspect the nest...when he returned the next day, he found a second nest that popped up literally overnight in the portion of the yard we had walked over. It was crazy! So, O'Connor knocked out both nests and did two sweeps over the entirety of my yard to look for any more. The treat was quick and thorough, and both nests were done within 48 hours. Couldn't ask for better service or a nicer group of people to work with. And they're locally owned, which makes it even better!"

Pest Inspection FAQs

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

  • Diatomaceous earth

  • 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.
