Ants
Report
Carpenter ants are social insects, nesting in colonies which may be indoors or outdoors. A carpenter ant colony is started when winged reproductives (males and queens) swarm in the late spring or early summer. Mating takes place in flight. Shortly after, the male dies and the single fertilized queen ant finds a suitable nesting place to lay eggs and begin a new colony.
Bed Bugs
Report
After decades of virtually no reports, sightings or infestations, pest control professionals across the country are experiencing and upswing in the number of bed bug calls. Bed bugs have been around for hundreds of years and pestered Americans until the latter half of the 20th century when the use of the modern day insecticides became common.

Keep your home free of bugs and rodents. While ants, spiders, crickets, bees, wasps, mice, and rats are needed in the outdoors, they become pests when they move inside your home. They can damage your house and create health issues for your family. At locally-owned General Pest Control, we return your home to you. The pests are gone, and your lives are restored to normal.

My family moved into an apartment and after a few weeks discovered that it was infested with bedbugs. these guys came right out and did a quick inspection and were very nice. Everyone that we spoke with and dealt with were very nice. They brought bed covers and even put all of our bedding in bags to be washed. Very very good at what they do.

Man was completely unprofessional. Had miscommunication with leasing office and decided to get an attitude with me when I wasn't in the loop with what was going on. I have called three times about having a flea problem, and this is the fourth time that nothing has been done. I don't know about you, but I'm not sure if sticky traps are meant for fleas.
He claimed he didn't see a single flee when he was here the ONE OUT OF 3 TIMES but I was able to catch a whole glass full of fleas in 3 minutes off a COUCH. This company is a joke.

I got tired of mice getting in from time to time and decided to hire a professional pest control service to handle it. They said they would inspect the house for ways the mice were getting in, stuff those holes and put down poison, which they did. There was an initial visit, then they schedule two follow-up appointments after, a week apart. They did that, but I was still seeing mice and evidence of their presence (moved stick traps that I had bought, some were caught in snap traps I provided as well.) It was clear though that weeks, 8 weeks later there were still mice in my basement.
I thought for sure that for $300 they would look above ceilings, behind walls where possible to see if they could find a nest, but never did that. Just restocked the poison and tried looking for more holes into the house. For a poison that supposedly works on the neurological systems of mice in 24 hours, two months later seems like a long time to be dealing with the issue or is a sign of a larger problem that I would think the pros would be able to help figure out. Anyways, now almost four mo the later, I am back to snap traps and glue traps and thinking I wasted $300. I don't recommend them if you have mice.

My place of employment has bed bugs. They have had them now for about 4 months. General pest has came a few times and claimed they got rid of them. I found one on me a couple days ago, and we found more in the same spot that they claim to have gotten rid of them in. They did not inform us about the procedure for the 'treatment preparation'. I recently found bed bugs in my home that I brought from work, so I called Orkin.
They came and inspected, gave me a 'treatment preparation' list and told me everything I need to do so they can come and treat my house. I would not recommend General pest for anything that involves hard to get rid of pests.

The ladies were very informative and helpful with my ant problem. The product I purchased was similar to a homemade formula I had made, that didn't work, with one major difference. The homemade I did was powdered. The product I purchased was liquid and as soon as I put it down. the ants were all over it. I understand this process takes a few days but as long as they keep nibbling and taking it back to the nest.
I should finally be ant free. hopefully for good. Nothing I despise more than ants in my kitchen, all over my counters, despite keeping everything clean. Their nest is at the base of the house. underneath the deck, where I can't get to them. War has been declared and it appears I am looking at victory. soon. Thank you General Pest Control. super much!
