FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
MICE: We will identify where the mice are accessing the property and take exclusion measures CARPENTER ANTS: We will thoroughly inspect your house and yard and identify and treat any nests, then treat the perimeter and interior of the house. BEES/HORNETS/WASPS: We will treat any nests found from the date of initial service through the following April for one fee. MOSQUITOES AND TICKS: If mosquitoes and ticks are your special kind of torture in the warmer months, call us for a free estimate of your property. ANIMAL CONTROL AND EXCLUSION: A little more than scratching in the walls? If squirrels, raccoons, birds, flying squirrels, bats, possums, or skunks have moved in, call us to move them out. We use a variety of humane trapping methods and we will remove the animals. CHIMNEY CAP INSTALLATION: We can install a custom chimney cap for you to keep squirrels, birds, and other pests from entering your house via the Santa Claus shortcut. CLEANUP: Squirrels, bats, mice, and other animals who have taken up residence in your home might leave behind a big mess after we evict them. There could be odors that need to be eliminated, and droppings (particularly from mice and bats) that carry disease. We can remove pest waste and apply an antibacterial solution to the area to restore your safe environment. We also can pull and replace insulation as needed. We would be happy to provide a quote for any type of cleanup work. BEDBUGS:This is not a bug to manage; it is one to eliminate. Bedbugs live and breed in cracks and crevices and come out at night to feed on the blood of their sleeping, unsuspecting human prey. It is important to provide an effective and long-lasting solution because bedbugs are some of the most resilient pests ever. TERMITES: If evidence of termites has been discovered, we will make an appointment to confirm their presence and provide a free written estimate for treatment. RATS: Rat control requires strategic management as they are as elusive as they are destructive. We will work with the property owner to identify the best course of action and utilize a combination of traps and bait stations to catch and/or kill the rodents. DAMAGE REPAIR WORK: Wood-destroying insects like carpenter ants and termites can do a significant amount of structural damage before their presence is even identified. Animals like squirrels and raccoons can also cause significant damage. Downes Pest & Wildlife can provide high-quality carpentry and structural repair services. We also treat: Fleas, roaches, spiders, stinkbugs, powderpost beetles, carpet beetles, meal moths, flies, drain flies, centipedes, millipedes, silverfish, cloth moths, earwigs, and many, many more pests.
