Cockroaches

Mosquitos
Citronella candles, smelly repellants, zappers and torches all do a poor job of controlling mosquitoes. We have a preventative season long solution that will rid your yard of mosquitoes.
Mice
House mice are mainly nocturnal. They tend to have longer tails and darker fur when living closely with humans. In comparison to their body mice have large ears.
Moles
If you see ridges of dead or dying grass or mounds of dirt throughout your yard, this is certain evidence of a mole invasion. Moles can do more than make a mess of your lawn and garden.
Spiders
Most common house spiders prefer cool moist areas of your home such as a basement or a crawl space. Others like warm dry locations like an air vent or attic.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are ground-nesters. Their colonies can be found under porches and steps, in sidewalk cracks, at the base of trees, in low hanging branches or in man-made structures.
