Q: How do I know if I have a scorpion in my home?

• <div><p>Because scorpions are active during the night, it can be hard to spot them&mdash;they are often hiding while you&rsquo;re up and about. They could be hiding in holes in your walls, behind large appliances, under your bed, in your closet, or even inside your shoes. But, if you&rsquo;ve seen one scorpion in your home, chances are there are more waiting in the darkness. If you&rsquo;re on the hunt for scorpions in your home, invest in a UV light, as all scorpions will glow under UV rays. </p></div>

Q: What is the best homemade raccoon repellent?

• <div><p>Homemade raccoon repellents can be a cost-effective and humane method for keeping raccoons off your property. Raccoons despise the smell of vinegar, so keeping a bowl of it near your home can keep them away. Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell what kind of wasp you have?

• <div><p>The easiest way to tell what kind of wasp you have is to identify its size, markings, color, and the type of nest it builds. These factors can help differentiate one type of wasp from another, since there are hundreds of thousands of different species. If you need help identifying the wasp type, consult a local pest control professional.</p></div>

Q: What scents will keep foxes away?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s little scientific evidence to suggest that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-remedies-ward-wildlife.htm">homemade remedies to ward off wildlife</a> are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won&rsquo;t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.</p></div>

"I have to admit, I was really disappointed with my overall experience. I was told that I could one time do a reimbursement. First off, why would you do that if you have already paid for service?!?! Then it took almost a week to get some one to address my situation. Now, I do realize that it does take time to get things rolling, but a week?? The gentleman that came to do the work was knowledgeable, but he didn't want to work with he Google representative to make sure that my NEST was/wasn't working properly. He was very short with the rep. and after several minutes of debating with him finally gave in and addressed both of our concerns. The other concern I had was, I was told that I would not have to pay anything this time, because of the delay, yet the rep. said I owed $65.00. He showed me the data he had and sure enough it said that I owed $65.00. Why, would a rep. from your own company tell me this and then turn around and not honor it?!?!? I sure hope that it doesn't take that long to get service the next time, that I need to have something done. What ever happened to customer service?? REALLY DISSSAPPOINTED!!!"
