I used SuddenDeath for a bunch of ants we had around our home. It has been about two weeks and the ants are slowly starting to go away. Inside the home I find less than five every few days and outside i’ve only seen one colony stay that is slowly dwindling.

Excellent family owned business. Used them twice on an ad-hoc basis and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Without hesitation will certainly use them again.

Have utilized their services a few times, and will most definitely continue to use and highly recommend them to others. They provide a quality, professional service, are reasonably priced, and the care and thoroughness used was as if it was their own home. Professional and friendly from the time of the call, until the job was complete. Great results with the pests, pests no more.

I was referred to this company from a friend. I choose to support local business and I didn’t regret it using this company. The technician was very thorough and knowledgeable. My problem was resolved at a fair price for the service provided. I will recommend this company to friends and family without hesitation.

"Sudden Death" is what the centipedes at my house encountered, thanks to Billy's treatment plan. I'm terrified of centipedes, so to not see them lurking in the basement or on my walls is a blessing. Can't recommend enough!

Mosquito Bites vs. No-See-Um Bites: How to Tell the Difference

Itchy bites that show up out of nowhere aren't always from mosquitoes. No-see-ums leave a different pattern and a different kind of itch. Here's how to tell which pest is actually behind your bites, and what that means for keeping them away.

Why Do Yellow Jackets Get So Aggressive in Late Summer and Fall?

Yellow jacket stings tend to spike every year around the same time. It's not a coincidence, it's tied to how their colonies grow and decline. Here's what actually happens inside a nest late in the season, and how to spot trouble before it finds you.
