Pest Problems to Watch Out For When it Gets Really Cold

January 10, 2018 by Plunkett's

Pest Problems to Watch Out For When it Gets Really Cold

It’s a bitter irony that, right after celebrating the new year, we experience the worst part of it. And make no mistake: the early months of the year are the worst–at least, here in the Midwest. The holidays are over, but winter is just getting started. January is less “dreaming of a white Christmas,” and […]

4 Important Pest-proofing Projects for the New Year

4 Important Pest-proofing Projects for the New Year

It’s a new year again, and you know what that means: time to start thinking about your resolutions. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably still in the “optimistically ambitious” stage of resolution planning. In early January, you’re all “learn a new language”, “write a novel”, or “become an Olympic-level fencer”. Then, come February, you […]

Pests to Watch Out For This Winter

November 14, 2017 by Plunkett's

Pests to Watch Out For This Winter

Some pests hibernate, sure. Others fly somewhere warm, true. But what about the rest? There are a lot of pests, and unfortunately–for us, and them–they can’t all get away during the winter. But of course, like us, they have to do something to keep warm. Unfortunately, they have many of the ideas that we do… […]

Wildlife to Watch For This Fall

October 21, 2017 by Plunkett's

Wildlife to Watch For This Fall

From the color of the leaves, to the length of the days, everything changes in fall. All of nature is preparing for the winter to come, and the animal kingdom is no exception. As you’ve probably noticed, Midwestern wildlife begins behaving differently when the leaves begin to fall. Specifically, they’re getting busy. It makes sense […]

Keeping Ants Out This Fall

Keeping Ants Out This Fall

If you’ve ever seen Pixar’s A Bug’s Life, you know how busy ants are this time of year. If colonies want to survive the cold of winter, they have to get creative. Ants start their winter prep early by stockpiling large quantities of food to last them until the snow melts. Because the ant motto […]

What You Should Know About Wood Ticks

May 16, 2017 by Plunkett's

What You Should Know About Wood Ticks

As spring gives way to summer, tick season in the Midwest starts anew. Few pests inspire the kind of paranoia and anxiety as ticks do. Not only do they latch onto your skin and suck your blood, they transmit diseases too? AND they come after pets!? What is their problem?! The tick you’re probably the […]

Testimonials

Our pest control technician is Brian Grim and he is a wonderful young man and a hard worker.
Carolyn C.
While we were home in Chicago, Ray our Plunkett’s technician was out at our place in Cabo, WI and noticed our ceiling was dripping wet after a heavy rainstorm. He called to let me know, and then he took paper towels and wiped up the water from the floor, as well as hanging our wet rug to dry. This is emblematic to the way Ray approaches his job. He’s just a good guy! Ray is always enjoyable when he comes to do the service, and he adds value, making it worth the money we spend with Plunkett’s.
Jeff U.
We have been having pest bird issues and heard that Plunkett’s were the ones to call.  Jamie, your technician in our area, came and took care of the problem without harming any of the birds.  Jamie is great to work with and we are now a big fan of Plunkett’s. Because of that great service we will take every opportunity to pass your name along.  This is an excellent company with great service, effective methods, and good prices.
Marc M.
Our plant manager from our Montreal location was visiting our plant this week and was very impressed with your iPad documentation. He was impressed enough that if you offered service there he would break his contract and switch to you.
Stefan S.
I just wanted to say that we had a fantastic experience with our technician, Chris, over the past month. We’ve had mice getting into our basement for two or more months, and have had other extermination companies out to try and find where the mice were coming in and they couldn’t. Chris did a very thorough initial inspection of the exterior of the house and located one definite entry point. He was very knowledgeable, personable, on time and willing to reschedule an appointment when I needed …
Debbie K.
Bernie Nusbaum has been our technician for 10 years; he has always been wonderful. He is trustworthy and always comes as soon as we let him know we have a problem. Many times he has come the same day we have called with our problem. He always knows exactly what needs to be done and he solves all our pest problems.
Mickie D.
Thanks for the detail and thoroughness you put into these visits and reports, we really appreciate it and believe we are getting our money’s worth on this service!
Curtiss P.
Want to pass on a compliment.  I know people are quick to call with complaints and not enough people call with good things. Your technician, Aaron Christopherson, is doing a fabulous job. He calls ahead and is there when he says he will be. He is a perfect example of what all service people should be like. You should be very proud to have him as a technician.
Maurice L.
We would just like to let you know how very pleased we are with our technician, John Pepping, and the professional and diligent work that he does. We live in a small rural setting, and until John came we were plagued with mice, wasps, etc. (Sometimes even inside the house.) Since he has been our technician, we have had no such problems inside and only occasionally outside, as to be expected. But he comes regularly and has even made an ‘emergency trip’ when we called about a specific problem.…
Janet & Wayne W.
I called your office yesterday morning and spoke with Cathy. She was extremely nice and very helpful. I was so thankful that Cathy was able to schedule Stephen our tech to come out to my home to remove some catches. He was able to get to my house in 10 minutes!  I am blown away at his promptness. I am so scared of mice that I was sitting in my car while waiting for him to arrive.  He was very calm, explained what he was doing, and promised that I did not, in fact, need to move. I am very impre…
