Q: What kills mosquitoes naturally?

• <div><p>Naturally occurring EPA-registered Bti products are an effective way to kill off mosquitoes at the larval stage. And, although they won&rsquo;t wipe them out, there are lots of natural repellents that make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes. Try planting some marigolds, lemon thyme, or other plants they&rsquo;ll steer clear of, light a citronella candle or two, or lay some bug-offensive cedar mulch.</p></div>

Q: Can an outdoor mister protect against other bugs?

• <div><p>An outdoor mister can help repel certain bugs like mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. However, not all pesticides can be applied using a misting system. Mosquito treatments are particularly effective when applied this way because the insecticides that are inside of the water droplets dispersed through the area land in the places where mosquitoes (and their larva) are most likely to congregate. </p></div>

Q: What attracts woodpeckers?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.</p></div>

Q: What can I do to help prevent ticks?

• <div><p>Ticks love to hide in long grass, mulch beds, leaf piles, and wooded areas, so minimizing these things in your yard can help stop them from making a home there. If you live in an area with lots of wildlife, it's also helpful to put up a fence so that deer and other animals don't bring ticks into your yard.</p></div>

Q: How often should I schedule professional rodent control services?

• <div><p>Based on infestation severity, semi-annual or annual checks are recommended.</p></div>
