Q: Can pest control prevent bugs and insects from returning?

• <div><p>Proactive measures like sealing entry points and regular maintenance treatments help keep your home pest-free.</p></div>

Q: What does a rodent infestation smell like?

• <div><p>A rodent infestation often has a distinctive, unpleasant smell. The most common odor is a strong, musky scent, similar to stale ammonia, which comes from mouse urine. As the infestation grows, the smell can become more intense. You might also notice a foul, decomposing odor if mice or rats die inside the walls or hidden areas. This combination of smells is a clear sign of a rodent problem and should prompt immediate action to address the infestation.</p></div>

Q: Can I use pest-repellent plants along with other deterrents?

• <div><p>Yes, pest-repellent plants can be used along with other deterrents such as deer-resistant fencing. In fact, using multiple deterrents will usually get you better results.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to treat my property for ticks?

• <div><p>Ticks aren't dangerous, but their bites are often imperceptible thanks to a numbing agent in their saliva. They can carry and transmit pathogens to people and animals, leading to diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Lyme disease. So if you live in a region with a high tick prevalence, tick treatment is worthwhile to keep your family and pets safe.</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>
