"We called Hawkeye Exterminators to help with a maggot infestation resulting from a dead animal on the roof of our home. The animal had been removed for a few days but the problem persisted, which is quite usettling and gross! Before I searched Angie's List for Pest Control I had contacted a chain company for animal control but did not think I was on the right track. Mr. Rhinehart answered my initial call directly and scheduled me the same day. He surveyed the roof area involved and identified the source of our ongoing concern, cleaning away and spraying accordingly. After the more acute problem was addressed, at our request he made a more routine application to the exterior of our home for spiders. We appreciate the professional, courteous and timely service - we will depend on this company for future needs.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Homes provide a stable environment with ample hiding spots, warmth, and protection from the elements, making them ideal habitats for spiders. The presence of insects within homes serves as a major food source for spiders, enticing them to establish their webs or burrows in and around residential structures. The nooks and crannies of homes provide perfect locations for spiders to construct webs or lay in wait for unsuspecting prey.

The longevity of pest control treatment depends on the treatments and the type of pest. Pest control services for serious infestations can last 3 to 6 months. Some treatments are more or less permanent if the pro fixes how pests were entering the home. Other treatments, like sprayed barriers or bait traps, are designed to last for anywhere from 30 days to several months. Pest control often offers to re-apply treatments like this to ensure full eradication and discourage new infestations.

Although weevils aren’t harmful to humans, it’s best to throw out flour (or any food product) if it contains weevils or other pests. However, if you want to salvage food after finding pests nearby in the pantry, you can freeze it for at least four days. To prevent weevils from returning, make sure to store your food in airtight containers or inside your refrigerator or freezer.

Besides checking your pet’s fur, you can use two other tests to find fleas in your home: the white sock test and the water and lamp test.

To perform the white sock test, simply put on a pair of long white socks and drag your feet along the carpets in your home. Fleas will gravitate to the heat created by your socks. The water and lamp test involves placing a bowl of water on the floor and shining a light over it. Fleas will then be attracted to the light and land in the bowl of water.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.
