People often don’t realize the difference in services when it comes to choosing pest control vs exterminator. Services aimed at managing unwanted critters often get lumped together with those focused solely on pest removal. Though they share some similarities, pest…

It’s not unusual for insects to come out of hiding shortly after a home has been professionally serviced. In fact, noticing a sudden increase in activity can mean the pest treatment is doing exactly what it’s supposed to. When insecticide or bait is applied, it…

Clear access to baseboards, cupboards, and any dark corners where bugs or rodents hide makes the work faster and safer. Move furniture a little away from walls, pick up loose items from the floor, and empty under-sink cabinets if possible. It feels like extra work,…

If burrowing damage has started affecting your lawn, it’s reasonable to consider calling in a wildlife service team. In many cases, their methods–whether physical, chemical, or environmental–can significantly reduce or even stop underground animal activity. Not always…

If you’ve spotted one of those masked troublemakers tipping your garbage bin or nesting in your attic, you’re not alone. Urban wildlife, especially the kind with nimble paws and a clever streak, can be frustratingly persistent. Calling in a licensed removal technician…

Yes, certain chemical applications do work against small invaders like rats or field intruders. But it’s not quite as straightforward as aiming a bottle and calling it a day. Most solutions on the market aren’t actually designed to target these furry trespassers…

Start by focusing on experience and reputation – these often say more than flashy promises. It’s tempting to go with whoever offers the lowest price, but sometimes that approach backfires. Maybe you’ve heard stories about treatments that didn’t work or crews that…

Skipping seasonal treatments might seem harmless at first. Fewer insects outside, colder air, less activity – that’s the usual assumption. But inside walls, basements, or attics, conditions stay warm enough for mice, spiders, and even some insects to remain active….

Set traps before anything else. Baits, sticky pads, and mechanical devices are often enough to stop the problem from spreading–at least at first. Skip the expensive kits. A few basic tools from the hardware store usually get the job done just fine. Target specific…

If you’ve spotted small, fluttering insects in your pantry or noticed chewed-up fabric in the closet, it’s not something to ignore. These signs often point to an infestation that won’t disappear on its own. Scheduling a home visit with trained technicians is usually…

Expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $1500+ depending on the size of the space, the level of infestation, and the method used. That’s the quick answer–but there’s more to it than just a number. I’ve heard people say, “It didn’t seem that bad at first.” Then a few bites…

If you’re seeing trails of tiny invaders in your kitchen or bathroom, calling in a specialist might cost around $150 to $300 for a single visit. Some companies, including us at The Pest Control Guy, offer one-time treatments, while others lean towards service plans….

Direct intervention by a licensed technician is the most practical solution if wooden structures are already showing signs of damage–small round entry holes, piles of sawdust, or buzzing near eaves and railings. Most over-the-counter sprays won’t reach deep enough…

Hiring a specialist is usually the most reliable way to address those destructive insects tunnelling through timber structures. I’d suggest acting fast, since the longer they stay, the deeper they burrow – leaving behind galleries that can weaken beams and joists….

Direct intervention from a licensed technician is typically the most reliable solution once larvae start damaging natural fibres around the home. Infestations involving wool, silk, leather, or feather-filled materials rarely resolve with home remedies alone. Residual…

Start with barrier sprays. That’s usually the first recommendation from any technician who’s been on the job long enough. These treatments are applied to shrubs, trees, fences–any surface where flying insects tend to land. The active ingredients stick around for…
