"I called for a bat exclusion inspection. First, (which should have been a red flag) they insisted I give them my credit card information before the visit. The inspection was $399 plus tax. The cost of the inspection would go towards the cost of the service as long as I used them to bat proof the house. The technician who came out was Mike Cottom Jr. He got to my house on time. He talked to me for about 10 minutes to get the information about the history of bats in my house. He spent about 5 minutes taking pictures and came inside to look at the two access holes the attic the electrician made to run some wiring. He said he saw no sign of bats, a colony or an infestation, just a small amount of bat poop. Then he went to his truck for about 20 minutes to write up the quote. Then spend another 20 minutes going over what he found. In total, he was here for about 1 hour. He never got up on my roof, which is one of the most likely the points of entry. There are huge gaps on either side of my attic dormer where it meets the roofline. The quote for exclusion was $5643.88. The first line item was caulking where the chimney meets siding. He guesstimated that was 60 linear feet. the total for caulking that area was $630. It shouldn't take more than an hour, maybe two if you are really slow to caulk that area. I am a paint and home repair contractor who has been caulking peoples houses for 25 years. I know how long it takes because Ive done it 1000 times. He also had $1700 for sealing the corner trim of the vinyl siding. Basically, stuffing it with steel wool and spray foam. I dont live in a mansion. I live in a very typical 3 bedroom center hall colonial. He counted 20 sections of corner trim at $85 per section. Seriously. He also quoted $995 to rent a lift to seal the three sides where the roof meets the soffit. If the 4 th side has to be done from a ladder, why cant the other three be done that way as well? Also, I rent lifts for a living. Its more like $300. He had $795 to install one bat valve. Basically, that a tube bats can leave, but cant come back in screwed onto the place he thinks is the point of entry. It takes about 20 minutes to set up the ladder, go up there, screw in the pipe and put the ladder away. He has $1470 for installing 6 "animal patches" where the roof meets the soffit. Basically, metal flashing screwed and caulked where the roof and soffit connect. If he knows how to measure, its a 6 hour job at most to do all 6 spots. He also wanted $390 to bend some hardware cloth and attach it to my bath fan and kitchen fan. Again, a crazy amount of money for a job that maybe at most would take one hour. The list he gave me is a one day job for two workers. The worst part is that even after charging over 5 times what a reasonable contractor would charge in labor for the services they are providing, they don't even guarantee you will be bat free! They only guarantee that no bats will penetrate the work they did. So, if they missed a spot bats can get in, you are back to square one paying them even more money to seal the spots they missed in there already expensive initial evaluation. Save your money, call someone else."

Lawn and landscape company.
"My wife and I moved out of town and needed a number of weeds removed from our front and back yards along with our driveway and walk-up sidewalk. (The goal was to prepare to the house for sale). Caleb Waterwash--a subcontractor of KP Affordable Lawn Care--came by for an initial estimate and returned after we had moved. The photos he sent after the job was done spoke for themselves--the affected areas looked better than I had ever seen them. What's more, he completed the work despite stepping on a nail that must have remained in a garden bed since we had roof work done a few years ago. Would definitely hire again if I were not in another state now :)"

The ant extermination process starts with assessing your home to identify the ant species and infestation level. A pest control professional will evaluate your situation and develop a targeted treatment plan. They'll apply the necessary treatments and may conduct follow-up visits to ensure all ants are eliminated.
Yes, some exterminators use eco-friendly products to control ants while protecting the environment. When you discuss treatment options, ask your exterminator about using eco-friendly practices to ensure your home's safety and the ecosystem's well-being.
While ant exterminators effectively eliminate your current infestation, they don't guarantee against future invasions. To prevent future infestations, you'll need to take preventive measures like sealing entry points, keeping your home clean, and possibly scheduling regular professional inspections.
You should see results from ant extermination treatments within 48 hours. Ant activity should decrease quickly, but complete elimination might require follow-up visits to ensure all colonies are gone.
Natural solutions like a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and water can help prevent or repel ants by cleaning surfaces and deterring them with the odor. You can also use peppermint oil on cotton balls or sprinkle black or cayenne pepper in problem areas. Remember to keep these repellents out of reach of children and pets.
