24 years of experience

I have worked in the construction industry (both commercial and residential) for 22 years. As result of this experience I and my associates know about possible bat intrusions at the roof line drip edge, soffit & fascia joints & junctions, roof vents , ridge caps , chimney grout joints , loose flashing , dormer pockets , dormer gables ( tops & ends ) , roof gable tops & ends . A few years ago my friend Mike Bakke was laid up for a short period of time and asked me to help him with his bat business. I set up some ladders for him & learned how to determine where bats were entering housing structures and how to humanely exclude them by installing EXCLUDERS (one way doors) and sealing all other gaps, holes that bats can find and squeeze back in. Using his 34 years of experience he basically taught me almost everything I know about bats and their indispensable value to the environment. With the help of his unique perspective I have developed a deep appreciation for bats and the part they play in balancing earth’s ecology. So much so that I have driven over 100 miles to rescue just one bat! Ken and Barb Bowman of Bat Conservation of Wisconsin rehab bats from near death and nurse them back to life to reintroduce them back to the environment. I work together with them to save as many bats as I can. I can safely say I have never knowingly killed a bat as well as trying to educate as many people as possible on how to safely remove bats from peoples’ homes. It’s also been part of my ongoing endeavor to extol the value of bats in mosquito abatement. (They can eat half their body weight of mosquitoes a night). I look forward to continue serving the interests of helping the public to safely remove bats from people’s homes and business’s, thus saving as many bats as possible.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

No, you should never vacuum or sweep up mouse or rat droppings, as doing so can release harmful particles into the air and increase your risk of disease exposure. Instead, wear gloves and a mask, spray the droppings with a disinfectant spray, let it soak for a few minutes, and then carefully wipe them up with paper towels. Afterward, disinfect the area thoroughly and immediately wash your hands when you’re done.

Ironically, stink bugs tend to hate plants that have a strong odor. Along with the plants that attract their predators listed above, here are a few pungent plants to add to your garden:

  • Garlic

  • Radishes

  • Mint

  • Lavender

  • Rosemary

  • Thyme

  • Catnip

  • Lemongrass

Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you’re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.

Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they’re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.

While possums don’t typically carry rabies, they can have lice, fleas, ticks, and mites. According to the University of California’s Pest Management Program, possums can also carry diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, and fevers. Possums are also the carriers of a parasite that can pass to horses and cats called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).
