The squirrel has been evicted. After just one day, it exited through a one way door and cannot return to wreak havoc in this attic.

Time to find a new home for this little guy.

I'm not one to publicly post names of other pest control companies but just wanted to offer some advice when dealing with the "big box" pest control companies. I won't name them, but if they have a corporate office, that's who I am referring to. My company is right in here in Vernon. Do not sign a contract for routine service, like monthly or quarterly. They will charge you, even you aren't home at the scheduled time, even if they don't treat anything. But more importantly and the reason for this post, I went to do an estimate on a house today that had spiders, rodents, and termites. Yes, termites are expensive but not "build a new house" expensive. This big box company quoted them $48,000. Unbelievable. This company was trying to take advantage of them. I mean, if you have 3 young children and someone told you that your attic was infested with brown recluse spiders, you might be willing to spend any amount. I saw two spiders and they weren't brown recluses. I'm going to be able to save them about 44K. I'm still in shock. If you didn't read the whole post, at least take this advice. Get multiple estimates, especially if that price makes you nearly faint.

That explains why there wasn't any squirrels. Customer called wanting us to remove squirrels from a hole in the wall. We placed our camera to monitor the activity and nature's own pest controller beat us to the job.

If you are looking at buying a house, some money-saving advice, get a termite inspection done. These termite mud tubes were hidden in a crawl space that you will not see just by doing a walk around on the property. Unfortunately for this home, it was after the house was purchased. The time for the inspection is before you purchase it. Now the buyer will have to pay the cost for termite treatment instead of the seller.

Rats will find their way in. The sebum and pellets with lead you to their entrances. We climb into attics and in the crawl space and seal them in or out, then we trap them. This one hole behind the toilet led to the attic and the crawl space. We blocked it on both ends and rats are forced to the traps. We use cameras to monitor the activity.

This is a pecan aphid. This is a sucking pest that will cause a lot of problems with your pecan trees. Primarily they are responsible for the honeydew that falls onto your car's windshield when you park under the tree. Now is the time to treat your trees. We will inject a chemical into the soil so that the roots will absorb it and over the next 6 weeks the chemical will be in the tree just in time for the new leaves to emerge. Call today to get scheduled.
