Q: What are signs I have bats in my house?

• <div><p>Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-bats-attic.htm">signs that you have bats in your house</a> or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there&rsquo;s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don&rsquo;t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that&rsquo;s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to get rid of drain flies?

• <div><p>Most people can get rid of drain flies within a week as long as they remain persistent. This is especially important if you&rsquo;re using a gentler method like vinegar or boiling water. Any eggs left behind can hatch, and the problem can start all over again. If you can&rsquo;t get rid of the flies within a week or two, consider hiring a pro.</p></div>

Q: Will honeybees keep yellow jackets away?

• <div><p>A strong honeybee colony can usually fight off the aggressive presence of yellow jackets. However, weaker honeybee colonies with fewer workers are especially vulnerable to yellow jackets. If yellow jackets gain entry into a weakened honeybee colony, they can easily kill the honeybees and empty the hive of all its contents. </p></div>

Q: Can vinegar kill bamboo?

• <div><p>No, vinegar cannot kill bamboo. Common household chemicals like vinegar and even bleach are unlikely to kill bamboo, and they may only have minimal effect on bamboo roots. Since they can alter the chemical composition of nearby soil, we suggest avoiding these methods. Bamboo is very tough and not even all herbicides work well against it. To beat back bamboo, find an herbicide that&rsquo;s specifically designed to work against tough grasses.</p></div>

Q: How effective are natural mice deterrents?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/get-rid-mice-and-spiders-essential-oils.htm">Scented mouse deterrents</a>, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.</p></div>

"Recently purchased home. Wanted to start a pest control service. After research, went with Bulwark for their outstanding ratings. Their service was prompt and the tech was very professional. Answered all my questions and took the time to go in detail on their service. My only small complaint was no treatments above eye level. The tech was able to de-web a few high corners and that was fantastic. But personaly, I wish I could just napalm the place and "feel" 100% sure that every nook and cranny has been treated. Outside of that personal opinion, the service itself was exemplary and would recommend it to anyone."
