"The serviceman did an inspection of the attic and basement and concluded there were no signs of entry. He suspected squirrels as opposed to raccoons were making the noise I was hearing. He said if they had gotten into the soffit of the house that was a different story and a very costly venture. He recommended no service at this time. I was shocked at his honesty and will certainly call back Terminix if I have any future problems."

"They came when they said they would and explained what they were going to do. Asked me if I had any questions and then asked permission to proceed. I didn't have questions because the process had been explained when I contacted them. They did the job, let me know they were finished and showed me what had been done. Now all that remains is to see if the bugs (some wasps, ants and spiders) are gone and stay gone until my next service. Before they left they reminded me that if I saw anything concerning (such as the ants returning) I should just call and they would send someone out, no charge."

"Without looking at the ants, my apartment manager wrongly informed me that I had odorous ants and said Terro was all I needed to get rid of my ant problem. However, two months in and those ants were multiplying. Living with them has been horrible. I had to keep the bedroom door shut so they could not expand into the rest of my apartment. My last straw was when I had moved out of my bed because I had an ant crawling on my bed with me still in it. I took a deep breath, paid off my credit card, and took the plunge to hire pest control. Forrest Seabourn worked with me and was very communicative and flexible. We worked out a deal because treatment was for only one apartment unit and not an entire complex. He was very knowledgeable and reached out to me very quickly. This was my first time hiring this service and he patiently explained the process and all my other questions. You cannot go wrong with hiring him. We scheduled him from 9:30am-10:00am and when I had a schedule conflict and needed him after 10am he was very accommodating. However, he did arrive at 11:15am without much explanation. He quickly identified that I had carpenter ants, not odorous ants but quickly assured me his treatment would take care of them. He said it would take 3-5 days for the carpenter ants who first touched the spray to die but I stopped seeing ants within 2 days. My next door neighbor was concerned because we shared a wall and he has cats he didnâ t want exposed to or harmed by the spray. Forrest was very kind in explaining that the active ingredient is nicotine and that it is not toxic to children or pets. If we touched it while wet, we only needed to wash our hands with soap and water. Forrest also explained that only the UV lights would break down the effectiveness of the spray, so although the outside spray on the perimeter of my unit might only work for two weeks instead of six, the inside spray should last longer. He worked with me on if a second treatment would be needed but felt as if with the amount of ants he saw, one treatment should take care of this satellite colony. It was still reassuring and helpful to know I had a second option if my ant issue resurfaced. Having ants in my bedroom has been a very stressful situation for the last two months and I am so glad to have my bedroom and my life back."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pest control?

Pest control is any method used to remove unwanted pests or animals from your home. Pest control professionals will inspect your property for signs of pests and pest damage and then apply an appropriate and humane treatment method to eliminate the problem.

What chemicals does pest control use?

The types of baits and chemicals used by pest control professionals depends on the type of pest or animal. Most pest control pros use pesticides called pyrethrins and pyrethroids, which are professional-grade chemicals that usually aren’t available to homeowners.

Is pest control safe for humans?

Many pesticides can pose a risk to humans, but since they’re typically only exposed to very small amounts, they generally don’t pose a health risk. That’s why pest control chemicals must be handled carefully by someone specifically trained to apply them.

How long after pest control can I go inside?

You should plan to wait about 2 to 4 hours after the pest removal service before returning inside your house. Be sure to talk with your pest control specialist about their recommended wait time following a pest removal service.

How much is pest control?

The average cost for pest control services is $200 to $600, depending on the pest type and your home’s location. Keep in mind that services to eliminate a severe infestation will cost more than a one-time removal service. For example, termite tent and fumigation services can cost up to $8,000.
