I am utterly astounded at the effectiveness of the insect spraying that has done such a beautiful job controlling the Asian beetle population that has infested my home and farm. The rodent traps are set for the upcoming winter and I fully anticipate zero intruders. I find great comfort in having a pest control agency taking care of these issues.
