Spiders & Crickets bugging you? (full of the puns today!) Then get 2 Terro traps for the price of one!
Painting? How about $5 Off any Gallon of Ben Paint? Or test it out first with buy one, get one free pint samples!
And remember, the advice of our helpful and friendly staff is always FREE!

Plenty of reason to swing by your local Costello’s Ace Hardware during this last part of the summer.
