What Should a Pest Control Company Include in Its Estimate? Here Is How We See It At Stewart Termite and Pest Control, I treat an estimate as a handshake on paper. It should tell you exactly what we found, what we plan to do about it, and what the work costs, with no surprises hiding […]
A few autumns ago I got a call from a homeowner in Mount Lebanon who swore she had “just one mouse.” By the time I finished walking her basement with a flashlight, I had counted droppings behind the water heater, a chewed corner on a bag of birdseed, and a gap under the bulkhead door […]
What Happens During a Termite Inspection? The Short Version When you book a termite inspection with my team, you are signing up for a careful visual assessment of your home that usually runs between 30 and 90 minutes. I check the inside, the outside, and the foundation for active pests, old damage, and the conditions […]
Pests have a way of showing up at the worst possible moment. One day your kitchen feels spotless, and the next you’re spotting droppings behind the toaster or hearing scratching in the attic at 2 a.m. I’ve seen homeowners try every spray, trap, and home remedy imaginable, only to watch the same problems return a […]
Finding the right pest control team in Pittsburgh feels deceptively simple until you start making calls. Suddenly you’re swimming in vague quotes, pushy upsells, and promises that sound a little too polished. I’ve watched friends and neighbors get burned by companies that looked legitimate on the surface, and the pattern repeats itself more often than […]
Living in Pittsburgh means dealing with a healthy mix of pests throughout the year. Carpenter ants in spring. Yellow jackets by mid-summer. Mice that suddenly remember your house exists the moment temperatures drop. If you share your home with a curious toddler or a dog who licks every baseboard, the standard “spray and pray” approach […]
Few things test your patience like waiting for pest control to actually do its job. You hire a professional, watch them spray, set bait, or treat the perimeter, and then… you wait. Maybe you spot a roach scuttling across the kitchen floor the next morning. Maybe ants still trail along the baseboard. Is the treatment […]
Living in Pittsburgh comes with a lot of charm. Rolling rivers, distinct seasons, and neighborhoods that feel like home. But anyone who has owned property here long enough knows the bugs and rodents come with the territory. From carpenter ants in the spring to mice slipping through foundation cracks in November, the pest pressure shifts […]
I’ve spent a lot of time around homeowners who can’t quite figure out why their allergies seem worse indoors than outdoors. They run air purifiers. They swap pillows. They blame the season. And then we find a roach problem behind the dishwasher, or droppings tucked behind the water heater, and suddenly the puzzle clicks into […]
Termites don’t announce themselves. They quietly chew through floor joists, sill plates, and support beams while homeowners go about their daily lives, completely unaware. By the time most Pittsburgh residents notice the damage, the repair bills have already climbed into uncomfortable territory. That’s why choosing the right pest control partner matters so much, and why […]
