In an attempt to think like the creatures they are trying to exterminate, pest-control technicians spend hours researching rodent behavior and are unreasonably wary about eating free cheese. Let the pros solve your pest problem with this Groupon.

$21 for $150 Worth of Exterior Home Pest-Control Services

Purchasers may opt for a one-time treatment for ants, spiders, wasps, crickets, pillbugs, and mice, with technicians making four passes around the exterior of the home ($150), or one month of pest-control treatments ($150). Alternatively, they can choose to apply the value to a three-month pest-treatment package ($225), a six-month pest-treatment package ($275), or another service. The first 500 Groupon buyers who upgrade to a one-year pest-control package will be entered into a drawing to win an actual African safari.

Serengeti Pest Control

Serengeti Pest Control's safari-themed trucks are filled with animals and bugs. While that may seem counterintuitive for a company devoted to ridding homes and businesses of harmful critters, it's actually all in fun—Serengeti's friendly staffers make sure to have tiny critter toys ready to hand out to kids and the young at heart. The technicians, clad in Indiana Jones–inspired uniforms, couple this playfulness with impressive attention to detail, using the safest possible products in their multiple sweeps of home exteriors, monthly pest-control packages, and battles against drain pests or bedbugs. Recognizing that infestations and other problems all have a cause, Serengeti inspects the home to identify sources of persistent pest-control issues and suggest sanitary, exclusionary, and mechanical methods of fending off bugs, mice, and conniving packs of home-squatting garden gnomes.
