My wife and I moved to Lakeside, OR at the end of Summer. Being new to the area, I had no idea what sort of "critters" we would be dealing with. After observing some tell-tale signs of "critter" activity, I determined that it would be time to call in an expert. Preferring to use local businesses, I found IPM Pest Control on-line. The owner, David, returned my call quickly and we set up an initial evaluation. He arrived at the appointed time, did a quick survey after which he stated that it appeared our property had never had pest control service. He promptly treated our home for insects, spiders, etc. and indicated that there may be an issue with rodents as well and he would return in a month to assess that issue. I was pleased with what I considered to be a modest fee. In the mean-time, as the Fall temperatures arrived, my wife and I began to hear noises in our walls and in the attic crawl spaces. Another call to David and he was out in two days. It took him all of ten minutes to discover that we had a rat infestation. He went right to work, and in the next two weeks he exterminated nearly a dozen rats, sealed off all entrance points and we are rat free. Cannot say enough about the professionalism, the expertise and the personal concern David exhibited during our "Rat Wars". Very happy to give David, IPM Pest Control, of Winchester Bay OR, a five-star rating!
