Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Since fleas are so tiny, the best way to find them is with a very thorough search. Focus on two specific areas. First, look where your pets spend lots of time sleeping or playing, which is where fleas are likely to linger. Second, look at ground-level fabrics like carpet, furniture upholstery and similar spots where it’s easy for fleas to hide. While you’re probably worried about fleas inside your home, it’s a good idea to check outdoors around patios or outdoor chairs to see if fleas are congregating in specific spots. 

Legal considerations include adherence to local and federal wildlife protection laws, particularly for species that might be protected or endangered.

You can use commercial repellents to help deter rodents, but they often have mixed results. A better solution is preventing rodents from getting under your home in the first place. Using steel wool or foam sealer, plug all potential entry points like gaps and cracks in the foundation. 

Also, consider installing hardware cloth or wire mesh over vents, utility openings, and any openings under the porch or foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance will aid in early detection and prevention, ensuring a rodent-free environment beneath your house.

Skunks are primarily active at night. If you are trying to keep skunks away, understand that you probably won’t see them moving much during the day, so you may struggle to measure your progress. However, daytime activity is possible if they have babies or are struggling to find food at night. A severely ill skunk could be moving around during the day as well. Skunks tend to be most active during the early spring months when seeking extra food or mates.

It’s best to kill bed bugs on your mattress as quickly as possible, isolate any potentially infested belongings, and continue sleeping there. If you move to other locations, you could transfer bed bugs or draw them into new rooms as they search for you, making the problem worse. Consider sleeping in clothes that cover as much of your body as possible to avoid further bites.
