Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can all cause damage to your house, but termites are among the most destructive. These pests make their way into your home and feed on the wood, weakening its structure. They can also damage outdoor structures, such as decks or fences. You should hire an exterminator immediately if you spot signs of termites or other pests.

One scorpion sighting doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an infestation, but finding a scorpion in your home should always be taken seriously. Don’t panic, though, as that will only make the situation more stressful, and you may act irrationally out of fear. Most scorpions have extremely painful stings that cause swelling and redness, but they’re not life-threatening.

However, while not all species are dangerous, the Arizona bark scorpion, which is common in the southwest U.S., is highly venomous and potentially deadly to humans. Never attempt DIY removal if you suspect it may be the Arizona bark scorpion—instead, contact a pest control professional immediately for safe, effective scorpion removal

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor
Proper animal identification
Written management plan with follow-up visits included
Humane removal techniques
Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.

If flying ants have taken up residence in your home, they’re likely nesting near water leaks. Check for signs of flying ants near your bathtub, windows, doors, and sinks.

You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a privet hedge) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them.
