We have been here 3 years and I have never seen a bug of any kind in our house. We use 1-800 Pest control.

We do see roaches from time to time in our home in Amelia. We call Massey immediately and Mike comes right out and takes care of the problem. I would not be without Massey for this service. We are told that they arrive at your home in the palm trees. Last one I saw was 1 1/2 inches long. I freaked out.

I have had good results using the roach baits. I place them under the sinks, on the floor in the pantry and in the garage near the trash can. Eliminates spraying and lets any visiting roaches bring the poison back to their hiding places. The bait is enclosed in sealed plastic containers with holes for the roach to enter. Roaches can enter you home in grocery bags, food or clothing boxes or any other material you bring into your home. Using the baits inside and spraying outside will keep roaches out of your home.

I would really like to know what the cost is of a pest control service for those who have it. If anyone would like to tell me what Massey's, Dean's or any others charge I would love to know. Thanks

Jav... I use Massey for pest control. Designer home, $64.50 per visit and they come 4 times a year..so $258/year. Any problems between scheduled visits, they come right out and don't charge for extra visits.
