Why Carpenter Bee Infestations Are Best Left To The Professionals

DATE POSTED: August 17, 2018

You see a bee and you immediately go into panic mode thinking you are going to be stung. You may grab a fly swatter or a can of bee and wasp spray and go to town trying to kill them off. While bees can sting, and that bee spray might work to eliminate them, it’s best to slow down and stay calm rather than running around swatting at it.

Why Are Woodpeckers Attacking My Home?

DATE POSTED: April 24, 2015

They are known to peck at trees, street signs, telephone and utility poles and many more things. They bang and peck on things for a few different reasons. When it is solely for noise purposes, then they are showing dominance over an area, and are trying to attract females to…

Wood Destroying Pests

As a homeowner, there is nothing more important than learning what pests destroy your home and what preventative measures you can take. I've compiled the three worst home wreckers in order of importance and thrown in some tips on how to keep them from eating away at your equity.

One day last month I saw hundreds of flying bugs coming out of a spot where my house's foundation meets my patio. They were very unnerving and I worried that I had termites - flying termites. After googling them, I knew I had to call someone. Who but the Big Blue Bug people, right? It was about 4:00 in the afternoon. I phoned and got an appointment for between 8:00 and 9:00 the next morning. At 8:15 your technician, Phil, called and said he was on his way. He arrived promptly afterward and…

Hello there,
I just wanted to let you know that we were extremely happy with your technician Doug Goodwin’s first visit in our building at Grafton Crossings, 135 Westboro Road in North Grafton, MA.
Not only did he work thoroughly, he was also extremely helpful in explaining current activities, replaced traps as necessary and gave some valuable advice. He was very aware of the fact that there were customers in the store, which required an even more sensitive handling of his work and words.…

I am writing to sing the praises of Mike, who just left my house for the second of two visits. I called this morning with a problem: clusters of flies invaded our house last night. I called at about 7:45 this morning, and by 9:30, Mike was here. (Thank you, New England Pest Control! That is why we have been customers for nearly 30 years!) He looked at the flies I had saved, went to his truck for an identifying manual, walked through the house, looking carefully everywhere, and gave an…

Hello Brian & Tony, thank you both so much for your support of Walk for Wishes; I know our participants enjoyed having their picture taken with Nibbles!

The event was great, raising $25,000; these funds will fulfill the fondest wishes of three Rhode Island children. Thank you for being a part of the walk and for helping us bring so much joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

All my best, Paula

Joseph Villani (Technician) here at the Ryan Center & Boss Ice arena has gone above and beyond over the past few weeks. We have had a few minor problems with mice and flies, and he has taken immediate response to each situation. This is a great reflection on the staff at New England Pest Control.
