How do I keep pests away from my garden?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden. </p></div>

What time of year are fleas worse?

• <div><p>Fleas thrive during the warmer months, starting in March and running through November. However, the prevalence of these pests depends on the climate in your state. That’s why it’s important to stay vigilant for fleas on your pets and property during spring, summer, and fall. Be sure to apply flea prevention sprays and medications to their coats as directed by a veterinarian. </p></div>

Q: What can be mistaken for a tick bite?

• <div><p>Several skin conditions and insect bites can be mistaken for a tick bite, including mosquito bites, spider bites, chigger bites, and even allergic reactions. Tick bites often start as small red bumps, which may develop into a bullseye-shaped rash if Lyme disease is transmitted. However, similar-looking rashes can result from conditions like eczema, ringworm, or hives. Without a visible tick, it can be hard to confirm the source, so it&rsquo;s best to monitor the area for changes and consult a doctor if symptoms like fever, fatigue, or worsening redness occur. </p></div>

Q: How do exterminators get rid of mice in walls?

• <div><p>Exterminators remove mice in walls by identifying entry points and sealing them to stop further access to these spaces. They may then open drywall to place food-scented traps inside for capture and then reseal to open and retrieve traps later. Next, they place traps along walls or baseboards inside, as mice tend to follow walls using their whiskers for guidance. Afterward, they may recommend repairs or modifications to prevent future infestations.</p></div>

Q: Can cats be beneficial to a garden?

• <div><p>While cats are great at rodent control, it is their second nature to use the soft dirt of your garden as a litter box. This can lead to the contamination of your food and the spread of disease in humans. </p></div>

D.J was great! He was able to come out and give a quote so fast. And he was was true to his quote and respectful of the budget making adjustments and being resourceful on materials. He defiantly left the job site better than he found it and made sure we were satisfied with the work.

The entire apartment looked brand new. The floors had stains on the carpet that I didn’t think were able to be pulled out. The stove/oven and fridge were immaculate. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
