Q: Should I hire an animal removal specialist instead of calling my local municipality?

• <div><p>You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.</p><p>Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.</p></div>

Q: How long do you have to stay out of the house after a bug bomb?

• <div><p>Your household members and pets should remain out of the house for at least two to four hours after using a bug bomb. However, you should adhere to the product&rsquo;s safety guidelines, as well as any professional guidance from an exterminator.</p></div>

Q: Do pest control services include cleanup?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include cleanup and sanitization to remove droppings and odors. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>
