John King2024-03-22Always, ALWAYS an amazing job! I have a cabin deep in the woods near a lake and had TONS of critters (ants, bees, mosquitoes, mice, etc.) before Complete Ground Control. Now, nothing! My cats are bored, and it's great! Easy to work with and highly recommended.Michael Scrafford2024-03-22Luke has been our pest control partner for over two years after the previous company we worked with couldn’t solve our mouse issue. Complete ground control has been a big help. Great communication and diligence. Thanks Luke!Daniel Schlapkohl2024-03-22Great work! Fair prices! Always fixes issues promptly!

Brainerd residents should definitely be going to this guy and his company for all pest control needs!Jodi DeJong-Hughes2024-02-07We don't have any local pest control options in the Benson and Danvers area, but I called Luke even though he is an hour and 20 minutes away. He was very willing to come to our house to discuss the mice getting in the house. He went along the foundation plugging tiny holes (even under the deck), set traps, and he checks the traps every month. He's been delightful to work with and is very kind. I would strongly recommend him!Lisa Schoons2024-02-06Had Complete Ground Cotrol come to my house and other property to address bird problems on the exterior of houses. He thoroughly inspected the issues and came up with a game plan. Also have used them for mice control as well. Highly recommend this company for all your pest control needs. They are located in Alexandria, MN but they service St. Cloud and surrounding areas.Karin Wantz2023-11-24Luke is 100%the real deal when it comes to any pest control. He responds quickly, asks helpful questions, and has been able to come out to our property quickly! You have an underground wasp nest…he will safely and completely remove the problem. Our most recent rodent problem happened Wednesday night before Thanksgiving with guests arriving and Luke came out Thursday morning to assess the issue and do all the necessary steps to make us and our guests more comfortable. Each service he has done on our property has been effective and professionally handled. Highly recommend!
A spray from a skunk is extremely unpleasant but will cause no actual harm to its victim. It can be an eye irritant causing temporary blindness or discomfort and also can be a unpleasant irritant on the skin. Once a skunk sprays a pet and object or clothing the smell and oils can be difficult to remove and linger for several days.
Skunks are opportunistic when it comes to both food and shelter. skunks will usually nest in burrows created by other animals, inside of hollow logs, inside of pipes or culverts, under decks, under buildings, inside of abandoned buildings or sheds. Skunks have a very diverse diet they are crepuscular meaning they are most often seen at dusk and dawn and feed primarily at night. Skunks feed on grubs, insects, worms, larvae, plants, fruits, pet food, garbage, mice, small rodents, poultry and eggs.
The average female skunk will give birth to between 1 and young each year. These skunks average life span will be about 3 years. The average size of a skunks body is 8 to 19 inches with a tail measuring 5 to 15 inches. An average skunks weight is between 7 and 8 pounds.
At complete Ground Control we utilize a number of enclosed live traps that are spray proof meaning the skunk is not able to spray and is kept calm because the trap is fully enclosed. We will perform exclusion work when necessary to aid in trapping and prevent future issues with skunks and other pests. Inspections are made to determine these factors and others that may be contributing to the issue like food sources . If your lawn has grub issues it is recommended that you treat the lawn and remove that food source. We utilize game cameras with our wild life trapping services to monitor your property and inform you exactly what types of creatures are present and how many. This helps us ensure that when we say your problem is solved it is solved.
