Read What Our Customers Have To Say!
He is very knowledgeable about what he does, and was responsive to my concerns with critters that I had no idea what their proper names were (lol).
Prices are super reasonable ~ which is a huge deal for a lot of people. 🙂
Very glad I found them (instead of paying a fortune with Orkin or another company) and highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating.
Child and Pet Safety
Wondering if our services are safe? That’s a tricky question. At this time, the BBB does not allow any exterminating company to conclusively state that their pest-control products are safe. This is due to the fact that any pesticide can be toxic if it gets in the wrong hands. In fact, people and pets can even have allergic reactions to all-natural products. With this in mind, the BBB regulates that we cannot advertise our products as “safe.”
However, because many pest control companies are only in it for themselves, they’ll tell you what you want to hear. They might claim that their pest control is truly safe in the hope that you’ll trust them. However, you should know that they can’t stand behind that claim entirely.
In truth, all of our products are most likely safe and non-toxic for most homeowners and pets. Even so, we always ask that you take certain precautions before we arrive. Similarly, we also request that you keep children and pets out of the treatment area for at least a few hours. While it may feel slightly inconvenient, our goal is to provide quality service with as little risk as possible.
Here are a few examples of how we minimize exposure and limit toxicity:
- We use low-toxicity mineral dusts. Special tools inject the dust into into cracks and crevices. As a result, the dust is kept out of reach from your family.
- In addition, we use ant and roach bait. Very little bait is needed to be effective. Since we use such small quantities, the amount of actual pesticide is minuscule. Similar to our mineral dusts, we apply ant and roach bait in cracks and crevices. Alternatively, the bait can be secured inside protected stations.
- While we offer natural pest control, we’ve found that most customers aren’t interested in the ongoing service needed to make the natural products effective. Instead, we focus on specially-formulated products that require less maintenance, but are still safe. For example, many of our products, don’t get absorbed by the skin as easily. They also last an exceptionally long time. As a result, you don’t have to keep spraying!

How can something so small create such havoc? Ants are one of the most persistent pests out there. In fact, many people (like me!) spend years trying to figure out how to get rid of them, only to have them return each year. While getting rid of ants doesn’t have to be difficult, many people go about it all the wrong ways and end up sabotaging their efforts. For example, many people use ant spray in conjunction with bait. However, what people don’t know is that most ant sprays actually contaminate the bait and make it ineffective! On the other hand, our ant control service gets right to the heart of the colony to wipe these pests out once and for all.
Cockroaches can be extremely difficult to get rid of. This is due to the fact that they’ve evolved to survive on just about any food source they can find. However, there are a few things you can do to start to take control. Firstly, eliminate their water source and their shelter. Start by checking for any leaks. Next, once you’ve gotten rid of water sources, seal off any nooks and crannies in your home. Click the link below to find out the next step.
If you have a spider problem, chances are high that you have another pest problem in addition to your eight-legged friends. That’s because spiders rely on other insects for food, and they’ll set up camp wherever they can find a steady source. Therefore, in order to get to the root of your spider problem, you’ll need to find out what they’re eating.

Bees and wasps certainly play important roles in the ecosystem. As a result most people are hesitant to perform any sort of “control” on them. However, they often nest too close for comfort — nobody likes to get stung! Additionally, many stinging insects can cause damage to your home. Read the following to learn about what’s buzzing around your home. Then give us a call with your concerns!
Small fly problems can actually be quite complex. While bug bombs knock down adults, they have no effect on the other life stages. Therefore, it’s important to call in our fly exterminators. It takes a bit of detective work to find the source. In many cases, drains need to be treated. In other cases, there are underlying rodent infestations. Keep in mind that finding their food is essential to gain control.
Pantry moths, also known as Indian meal moths, infest grain stored in your home. But they don’t stop there. In fact, there are tons of potential food sources inside homes for pantry moths. Getting rid of your corn meal usually doesn’t do the trick that easily. Our exterminators can find the sources that you’re missing. Read up by clicking the button below, then let us know your story.
Most people incorrectly assume that fleas are easy to prevent by simply treating their pets. However, fleas don’t just come from cats and dogs. There are usually other hidden sources that will keep your infestation alive and well. Think of it this way: why spray 10 ants in your kitchen, when there are 10,000 under your driveway? The same goes for fleas. In most cases, there’s a flea-infested animal around that isn’t your pet. Our flea investigators will help you solve the mystery!
