We have a bit of a spider issue, they have been wonderful to work with ease our spider frustrations. Caulin and Matt are absolutely wonderful, working with us on how we can make the treatments more effective before and after treatment. Caulin knocked down all of our mud dauber nests on the house yesterday when he treated the outside! We might also have a bit of a wasp problem too, the pests love us UGH!
