Direct Answer: Starting January 1, 2027, counties may charge pest control businesses up to $75 a year to register, up from $25. Expect small price effects, not large ones. If you are on a recurring ant or rodent plan, there is a decent chance you will get a rate change notice sometime in 2027. I […]

Ross was calling a different company every six months for the same ant problem.

Three attempts, no change. Matthew came out, found what was driving the activity, and treated it with pet and family safe methods.

More than two and a half years later, Ross says the ants haven't been back 🐜

Direct Answer: Expect to still see ants for about 7 to 14 days. Activity often climbs for two or three days while foragers carry the treatment back to the nest, then drops off steadily. You had the treatment done on Monday. It is Wednesday morning, you are standing in the kitchen with your coffee, and […]

Direct Answer: Raised beds give rats shelter, food, and water in one spot. A hollow base, thick straw mulch, damp drip lines, and ripe produce turn a garden box into prime nesting ground.

Direct Answer: California opened public comment on options to reduce risks from fipronil flea and tick products. It is a review, not a ban. The products remain legal and on shelves today.
