Q: How do I know if I have a bee infestation?

• <div><p>Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: What are squirrels afraid of?

• <div><p>Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away. Anything with an element of surprise, like motion-detecting lighting, strobe lights, and noisy wind chimes, can unsettle them. Even loud radios and voices can be perceived as threatening and terrifying to these furry critters.</p></div>

Q: How many cockroaches should you see before you call an exterminator?

• <div><p>If you spot two or more cockroaches inside your home, you should hire an exterminator to conduct an inspection and provide eradication treatments. If you see one cockroach and no others, it may have been a stray that wandered inside. Don&rsquo;t hesitate to call an exterminator as soon as you see more than one cockroach in your home.</p></div>

Q: How fast do roaches multiply?

• <div><p>Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.</p></div>

Overall, the experience went very well. They have a supervised play area for the dogs, and it’s large enough that they can run around in. They also make sure they keep the dogs separated if they don’t get along. Instead of regular kennels, they have mini “suites” for them to stay in.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:

Lavender
Citronella
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon
Thyme

Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.

Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.

Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away.
