Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes, dryer sheets can repel mice. Mice are sensitive to smells, and many dryer sheets have strong artificial fragrances like citrus, floral, lavender, vanilla, and woodland. Dryer sheets often continue to release scent for many days; some even last for an entire month, making your home unpleasant for mice. Also, dryer sheets are easy to rub around the house and place in drawers, vents, cupboards, and small holes.

Even with professional pest control and taking your own drastic measures to eliminate a phorid fly infestation, it can be difficult to get rid of these pests for good. If you find that phorid flies keep appearing in your home, it’s very likely that you have a persistent source of moisture such as a drain leak or a cracked sewer. Another culprit could be a decaying animal carcass in your home’s foundations.

If you are looking for ways to kill bed bugs instantly, heat is the most effective instant killer. Exposing bed bugs to temperatures above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for over an hour can eliminate them. Steam cleaners and dryers on high heat work well for this method. Other options that may kill bed bugs instantly include bleach, disinfectant sprays with alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hydrogen peroxide.

However, note that many DIY treatments won’t reach bugs hidden in cracks or behind walls. For severe infestations, it’s best to call a licensed exterminator for professional heat or chemical treatment.

Knowing what attracts mice to your house can help you figure out how to eliminate them or prevent them from ever appearing. Mice visit your house for two main reason:

  1. Access to food or water: Mice eat everything from grains and seeds to fruits and veggies. They’re also thirsty critters that return to leaky faucets and pet bowls. 

  2. Access to shelter: Mice flock to any place that’s warm, hidden, and viable for shelter. That might be an insulated attic, a crack in the wall, or a cluttered indoor area.

Naturally get rid of gnats by luring them into a homemade trap with sweet-smelling items from around the house. Cover a bowl with plastic wrap, place a paper cone in a jar, or simply leave a wine bottle with a bit of residue on the bottom. Each of these traps will attract remaining gnats and keep them from spreading.
