"Customer service rep Leonardo Baez was great. He walked me through the plans to help me decide what was best for me. Dave the tech came out, took pictures what he did and took notes. I received emails of pictures and notes. I can fell and see the difference in bugs in one week. I can't wait to sit in my yard without the mosquitoes."

"Roaches crawling out of outlets, fire ants in the bathroom, and roach poo in the smallest of places in my apartment. Landlord sent out Arrow to do treatment. That was a mistake as the infestation has gotten worse. Called up Mr. Nixon with Alachua Pest Services and he came out same day. He pulled out the fridge and stove, sprayed everywhere, removed my outlets, and sprayed this tinker bell dust between small cracks. He was altogether informative, knowledgeable, and professional. Expecting second treatment in about 2 or 3 weeks. Would hang my hat on him. -Aaron Snell"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It’s very uncommon for roaches to bite humans. Cockroaches don’t need humans for food and prefer to be elsewhere than on a living being. They have no poison or powerful pincers to cause any significant damage. However, in very bad infestations cockroaches have been known to search humans for dead skin cells, which leads to them nibbling around feet, hands, and eyelashes. They don’t cause any serious harm, but this is an easy way to spread the diseases cockroaches carry.

Exterminators use residual insecticides in either liquid or powder form to kill scorpions. These insecticides are applied directly to visible scorpions and their common hideouts and entryways in a home to kill them and prevent future infestation. Exterminators will also use diatomaceous earth at entryways to slowly kill scorpions that enter a home later.

You can prevent wasps from returning by having follow-up visits with your local exterminator. If you don’t want to harm more wasps, consider adding a fake nest to a tree or the house. These nests deter wasps from building around your home.

You can also repel them using natural substances like vinegar, coffee grounds, and cinnamon. Wasps also dislike the smell of certain plants, including eucalyptus, peppermint, basil, and lemongrass—just plant them in your garden or pots by your doors.

Knowing what attracts mice to your house can help you figure out how to eliminate them or prevent them from ever appearing. Mice visit your house for two main reason:

  1. Access to food or water: Mice eat everything from grains and seeds to fruits and veggies. They’re also thirsty critters that return to leaky faucets and pet bowls. 

  2. Access to shelter: Mice flock to any place that’s warm, hidden, and viable for shelter. That might be an insulated attic, a crack in the wall, or a cluttered indoor area.

Scarecrows and lifelike animal decoys, such as snakes, owls, coyotes, foxes, and hawks, can initially deter rabbits. However, these tactics might lose effectiveness if rabbits learn they are harmless. Having your dog or cat roam and mark the yard with their scent can also prove beneficial. Keep in mind tactics like these work best when combined with other methods.
