Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Pros offer targeted treatments that are more effective and long-lasting, using specialized equipment and knowledge.

Yes, dryer sheets can repel mice. Mice are sensitive to smells, and many dryer sheets have strong artificial fragrances like citrus, floral, lavender, vanilla, and woodland. Dryer sheets often continue to release scent for many days; some even last for an entire month, making your home unpleasant for mice. Also, dryer sheets are easy to rub around the house and place in drawers, vents, cupboards, and small holes.

There is no exact science here, due to the nature of nests and how mice raise their young, but a good place to start is to inspect the droppings. A single mouse poops a lot, leaving around 50 droppings in a single day, likely near a primary food source. If you find only sporadic droppings, you likely have a small infestation. If you spot large mounds of droppings, you are dealing with a big problem.

Hazing is an effective strategy for keeping foxes away from your yard because these wild animals are usually scared of people, loud noises, and sudden movements. If you have a large dog patrolling the yard, that’s also usually a powerful deterrent for foxes. You can also use hazing to keep badgers away from your yard, along with pests like raccoons and coyotes.

Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective.
