What about cost? Most jobs can be priced over the phone, so you won't have a salesman coming to your home or business. Some jobs come with a guarantee, some don't. Terms will be clearly stated before service begins, and will be stated on the invoice. We will never ask you to sign a contract! If you are in doubt, give me a call. I'm the one answering the phone, and you can judge for yourself whether you would be comfortable doing business with Bug Beaters Pest Control.

How can I tell if I have carpenter ant problems?
Generally the sighting of carpenter ants inside a structure with any regularity is an indication of a nest within the structure.
If you see carpenter ants on your deck, siding, or foundation on a regular basis, that is also an indication they may be nesting in the structure.
You may also see "frass", a material that looks like sawdust.
This is the byproduct of the ants' nesting activities.
You may see large, black ants with wings that are over an inch in length.

What are my chances of having a tick attach to my skin?
If you spend time outdoors in a rural area, you have a very good chance to "pick up" a tick.
Will I know if a tick gets on me?
Not necessarily.
A tick will attach, and will grow as it feeds on your blood.
If it is not in a spot that you commonly touch or see in the mirror (like the small of the back), it can attach, feed and detach without your knowledge.
Nymphal ticks, the smallest and therefore most likely ticks to go undetected, stay attached for 24-72 hours in general.

We have a separate page for carpenter ants as they are the pest that we get the most calls for, but we do treat for all types of ants.
Baiting has proven to be the most effective method for controlling most small ants.
We spray many buildings in the early fall to control the common problem of flying insects entering when cold weather sets in.
This treatment helps control cluster flies, stink bugs, and lady beetles, among others.
We find that application of pesticide to eaves, siding and the soil is very effective in controlling spiders.
