PEST CONTROL IDENTIFICATION

At AMPEST Exterminating and Wildlife Control we break pests down into a few different categories. We have our usual suspects we are always dealing with; ants, roaches, and rodents (mice and rats). Then we have our occasional invaders which would be stink bugs, box elder beetles, Asian lady beetles, earwigs, silverfish, fire brats, spiders, crickets, spring tails and clover mites. Our next category of identification is our stinging insects, these are bees, paper wasps, yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, and any other flying stinging insect. We have flies which, and we could get more technical but are basically broken down into small or large flies. Then we have our human parasite insects, namely bed bugs and mosquitoes.

AMPEST Exterminating is well versed in controlling and solving all of these pest problems our residential and commercial customers experience.

HOW MAY WE HELP?

The office staff were very professional. The technician they sent out, Nick, was very kind and thorough. He was able to quickly diagnose our raccoon issue and come up with a plan to remove the animal and repair the area to prevent further issues. I highly recommend Ampest if you are having a wildlife issue.

He was very professional. Educated me on wildlife knowledge and was able to diagnose my wildlife issue quickly. He was also very thorough with his inspection, I couldn’t recommend them more.

Braxton Brassard

Was on time and knew what he was talking about when it came to what he was trying to stop.

A very professional and quick company. The office was very kind and helpful, and they sent out their technician Nick, and he was quick to diagnose the issue. He was even able to offer gap seal work to keep rodents out. Couldn’t recommend this company more.

These guys are the best. I had a raccoon dig into the roof and get into the attic and we used another company with no results after two weeks. We then contacted Ampest and Jeff came out and assessed the problem, he got the right trap with the right bait into the right location. He checked the trap daily (unlike the other company) and made adjustments as needed. In 4 days he trapped the raccoon that has been in the attic and walls! I could not be more pleased with the responsiveness and professionalism of this company and Jeff. These guys know their stuff. And thank goodness we are now raccoon free.

We had a raccoon tear into our roof and get into the attic and eventually our walls! What a nightmare. We contacted another company and they worked the problem for almost two weeks with no results. We then switched to Ampest and Jeff came out assessed things and got the right trap into the right location. He checked the trap daily (unlike the other company) and in less than 4 days caught the raccoon that had taken up residence. Jeff was prompt, professional and calm (unlike me during this problem). This guy knows his stuff. Not happy with the raccoon but very happy with Jeff and Ampest.

I had a problem with squirrels in my attic crawl space. A wildlife professional was dispatched immediately upon me contacting them. He was able to catch the pregnant squirrel and her mate before she gave birth in my house. He was responsive, professional and got the job done in a timely manner. I paid to have the hole sealed up and he did a fabulous job with all of it. I would reccommend this company whoeheartedly. They were prompt and respectful of my property. I am truly a happy customer.

Let me start by saying that I found Ampest through Google and I am glad that I did! I have been a loyal client for the past three years and Steve is the nicest and most professional person I could have asked for! I am about to call for my fall treatment and actually look forward to having Steve complete the A+ job once again! Don't hesitate and call Ampest, the customer service is top notch!

We have used Ampest twice this last year and have been very pleased with all aspects of their service. Timeliness and thoroughness are but two of the accolades I can share. I have multiple times recommended Ampest to friends and neighbors. Thanks to Ampest E&W Control

Had a vole problem in my backyard and called AmPest after being recommended by another family. They were able to come out quickly and Joe started the process right away and explained in detail what was going to happen. After a couple of weeks - it looks like the problem is under control. Price was right, customer service was above and beyond and most importantly there were results! I’d refer to anyone looking to take care of a pest problem! Great work!

The men were sealing off attic space from any rodents. They did a clean and efficient job.

Ampest was recommended to me by another exterminator I had called who didn't deal with my issue (chipmunks). When I called to inquire I spoke with Jim on the phone who was very helpful at answering all of my questions and provided all information and pricing up front. I called on a Friday and was able to schedule an appointment the following Tuesday. I appreciated that Ampest scheduled me for an early morning appointment to accommodate my schedule. The technician, John, was on-time and very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all of my questions and recommended a treatment appropriate for my situation. I would recommend Ampest and will call them again if I ever need additional services.

Amazing company! I’ve had some bad experiences with exterminators, but Ampest is nothing like the rest. They make sure you are aware of all costs upfront, and they really take the time to explain their process and reasoning. I have had them come out to deal with a few issues, and they address everything! I would highly recommend.
