I have been using Darren Resa with Mosquito Authority since he started his company. He provides excellent mosquito control services without harming our pollinators. The safety of the bees are very important to me, and I really enjoy the lack of mosquitoes!

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Mice are nocturnal creatures who are highly skilled at hiding from humans. So, if you see mouse droppings but never any mice, it’s quite likely that you’re dealing with an infestation. The presence of mouse droppings indicate the areas where mice are most active in your home. Additionally, the number of droppings and freshness can help you determine the severity of the infestation.

A combination of traps, baits, and exclusion techniques effectively manage rodent populations.

Armadillos are not considered friendly animals. They are solitary and tend to avoid human interaction. While not aggressive, they can be shy and reclusive, often scurrying away when approached. Armadillos may carry diseases, so handling them is not advised.

Possums don’t typically pose a danger to humans—they prefer to stay out of sight. If they feel threatened, they play dead instead of engaging. However, they can become aggressive when cornered, typically when they become trapped inside your home or when a dog chases them. When this happens, it’s best to call a wildlife control service near you to remove possums safely.

There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.

Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to prevent moles from destroying your yard.

Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.
