Kimt news 3's madelyne watkins joins us in the studio this morning to tell us how pest control services are on the rise right now.

Madelyne... you're learning that's causing one rochester business to good morning brooke!

When i first reached out to "lemke pest control" here in rochester... he only had about 5 minutes to have a phone call with me in between appointments.

That's how busy they are right now.

"lemke pest control" takes care of any insects, mice or mold you have in your home.

The owner tells me he's up 30 percent already this year compared to this time last year... he says he even had to bring in family members to help with answering phone calls and scheduling appointments.

A big reason why pest control services are up right now is because people are home a lot more... they're noticing things around the house they didn't see before.

If that's you and you can't get an appointment right away... lemke says to have some patience!he doesn't recommend you trying to get rid of the "i can't tell you how many times i've seen people try to do it on their own and they over apply and they're causing themselves more harm than good.

So i really recommend them just wait until they can get the professional help that they need because we are trained, we are licensed and we know how to make sure we're doing it in a safe manner."

Lemke tells me he's grateful to be expanding his business during the pandemic... but he feels for the small business owners who had to close their doors.

He says he wouldn't be here without the support thank you, madelyne.

Lemke says when they go into customers homes... they take extra precautionary steps ?
