He immediately responded the next business day. I showed Issac where I had spotted the ants. He told me what he was going to do and why type of ants he thought they were (nomad ants..traveling through). He also treated around my hummingbird feeds which was really nice. Ants and bugs love the sweet nectar. Glad I made the switch.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.samuel aday2024-08-24MR.

He was very honest and didn’t try to sell me on services that I didn’t need. He was real with me about what was going on and gave me solid advice on how to handle it. It’s refreshing to find someone who’s not just in it for the money but actually cares about doing a good job. If you need pest control, definitely reach out to Dane. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kaylee McAllister2024-08-15We started using Dane’s pest control the beginning of this year and so far we are very pleased! When shopping around, we found that he was one of the more reasonably priced companies. I love that it’s not a one lump sum, like others. Ben was very quick to reply back to my request for a quote and was very responsive when we were talking about our needs when it came to pest control. He’s texted me every time to let me know when hes coming bc I can never remember. We haven’t had to call him for any visits in between yet, but I have a feeling he would come in a very timely manner to spray inside as we only get it outside right now or just to spray again. We’ve used big name companies before and honestly just wasn’t too impressed so I love that we are supporting a locally owned company! I’d def recommend them and have to many of my friends! Check him out! At least get a quote and have a conversation especially if you’re shopping around!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Maggie Burman2024-08-15I have been a customer since ending my xontract with a larger company. I have no regrets. Ben is knowledgeable, professional, keeps in communication with me, and is timely. Nothing but positive experiences!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dayton Hasty2024-08-15We are so glad we found Dane's Pest Control! Ben is always very responsive and gets the job done efficiently. Since the treatments, we haven't had any sort of pest issue. Cannot recommend them enough!

Earwigs Species In Huntsville AL
What are Earwigs
Recognizable by the pincers extending from their abdomen, they possess a dark brown hue, an elongated and somewhat flattened body, segmented antennae, and two pairs of wings. Although earwigs seem scary and dangerous they pose no threat to humans or pets. Despite the menacing appearance of their pincers, earwigs are incapable of causing harm to humans, and despite their name there is no evidence to support the notion that they attempt to lay eggs in human ear canals, though anecdotal reports suggest such occurrences.
Typically active during the night, earwigs seek refuge in small, dark crevices during the day. They have a varied diet, consuming both plant and animal matter. While they do not pose a direct risk to human health, earwigs have been known to inflict damage to crops by feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits. As weather conditions change, earwigs may invade homes in search of food, water, and warmth, often congregating in dark, damp areas such as kitchens, garages, basements, and yard debris.
How Earwigs Get Inside
To thrive, earwigs actively seek out sources of food, water, and shelter. They maneuver through small crevices in your home’s foundation and exploit openings around windows, doors, vents, and utility pipes. These potential entry points are often created as door and window seals degrade over time, leaving small gaps for earwigs to infiltrate.
The inadvertent introduction of earwigs can happen when bringing in boxes, items from the garage or shed, or leaving other items outside and bringing them back inside the house. Once inside earwigs will search for food and water inside the home. Commonly searching in areas like the kitchen and bathrooms. They also will hide in cracks in crevices inside the home when sleeping.
Preventing Earwig Infestations
Seal Entry Points:
- Inspect and seal any cracks, gaps, or crevices in your home’s foundation, walls, and around windows and doors. This helps to limit potential entry points for earwigs.
Weather Stripping:
- Ensure that doors and windows have proper weather stripping to eliminate gaps that earwigs could use to access your home.
Proper Ventilation:
- Maintain good ventilation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces to reduce humidity levels, as earwigs are attracted to moist environments.
Outdoor Lighting:
- Earwigs are attracted to light. Consider using yellow insect-resistant bulbs in outdoor lighting, as they are less appealing to earwigs.
Landscaping Maintenance:
- Keep the exterior of your home well-maintained. Trim vegetation, shrubs, and trees away from the structure to eliminate potential hiding spots and pathways for earwigs.
Remove Attractive Habitats:
- Clear away piles of leaves, mulch, and other organic debris near your home, as these can provide ideal hiding spots for earwigs.
Eliminate Moisture Sources:
- Fix any leaks promptly, both indoors and outdoors, to eliminate sources of standing water that might attract earwigs.
Storage Practices:
- When bringing in items from the garage, shed, or other storage areas, inspect them for hitchhiking earwigs. Consider storing items in sealed containers.
Cleanliness:
- Keep your living space clean and clutter-free. Regularly vacuum and dust to eliminate potential hiding spots for earwigs.
