Do misters keep mosquitoes away?

• <div><p>Yes, water misters can temporarily keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away, as these will wet their wings and make them unable to fly. However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it’s not a permanent or long-term solution. It’s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.</p></div>

How do I prevent roaches?

• <div><p>The best way to ward off roaches is to take preventative measures and stay on top of routine extermination services. Keep them away by cleaning your kitchen free from crumbs, properly storing away food, covering your pet’s food bowl, and reducing moisture in your home to make your house less tempting for roaming cockroaches. Remove clutter—especially cardboard boxes that roaches love to hide in, and replace them with plastic tubs. </p></div>

Q: How long do pest control treatments last?

• <div><p>The longevity of pest control treatment depends on the treatments and the type of pest. Pest control services for serious infestations can last 3 to 6 months. Some treatments are more or less permanent if the pro fixes how pests were entering the home. Other treatments, like sprayed barriers or bait traps, are designed to last for anywhere from 30 days to several months. Pest control often offers to re-apply treatments like this to ensure full eradication and discourage new infestations. </p></div>

Q: What can be mistaken for fleas?

• <div><p>There is often confusion between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flea-vs-tick.htm">fleas versus ticks</a>, bedbugs, carpet beetles, lice, fungus gnats, and flea beetles. Learning how to identify and differentiate between these insects is key for effective treatment. If you are unsure, it's always best to consult with a pest control professional who can properly identify the pest and provide the best treatment options. </p></div>

Q: Is there anything I can put on my skin to repel bed bugs?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.npic.orst.edu/capro/bedbugs.html">According to the National Pesticide Information Center</a>, there aren&rsquo;t any insect repellents registered for use against bed bugs that can be put on your skin.

If you eliminate the termite issues, I would recommend them for pest control. We use another company for termites. Chris from Service Pest Control is a little less expensive than the other company we use. His price was one reason why we used him.

This last visit, they did find evidence of termites and came out the next day to kill them. Acme went above and beyond to get rid of the termites and their price was way under the other pest companies. it's been a month and I still do not see any evidence of termites.
