Not only is the yard and outside of the structure treated, but the entirety of the inside with focus on the most infested spots.  Magic Exterminating treats for bugs such as ants, bedbugs, roaches, termites, stinging insects, and mice.

Most reviews of Magic Exterminating are favorable. Many compliment the field staff’s knowledge and thoroughness in their work. Quite a few also mention the effectiveness of the service and how complete the exterminations are.

Of the few negative comments, most were directed at the telephone and customer service staff. There were a few complaints of rudeness and ineffective service. Another common negative complaint is the price. A few customers claim it is higher priced than other residential pest control services in the area.

Magic Exterminating also helps maintain rodents and errant wildlife in an ethical, environmentally friendly way. Field techs use traps and bait to lure raccoons, opossum, rodents, and birds and then safely relocate them to a natural world environment.

Part of the wildlife management service is to thoroughly inspect the structure and landscape for trouble spots. This could include a safe place to dwell, food and water supplies, and easy entry into the structure. In the case of nesting birds, decoy predators are effective as are the sounds of prey animals.

Magic Exterminating also offers chemical fumigation, if necessary. Their goal is to treat badly infested areas and protect the belongings inside in a safe and ethical manner. All fumigating services are properly documented, aerated, and monitored to stringent state standards.

Overall, this company has some strong ratings and a loyal consumer base to back it up. The negative remarks are sparing and all deal with small resolvable issues. The effectiveness of Magic Exterminating is never in question.
