There are several possible reasons for a gnat infestation, and they vary based on the type of insect. One common reason is overwatering houseplants, which can create a moist environment that is attractive to fungus gnats. Another reason is leaving fruit out on the counter for too long, which can attract fruit flies. Drain flies are typically attracted by standing water and bacteria that are often the result of buildup or a clog in your drain or sewer line.

We recommend using diatomaceous earth to create roach repellent barriers outdoors. Most oil and spray applications will quickly wear down in outside weather, so they aren’t as much use  in the outdoors. If you are really struggling with an outdoor roach problem, we suggest looking for pet-safe bait traps you can set.

The time and number of treatments required to get rid of roaches depend on several factors, including the type of roach, the severity of the infestation, and the extermination method. For small infestations, a single treatment may be sufficient, with results seen in as little as 1 to 3 days. Larger or more severe infestations will require several treatments. It typically takes around 2 to 8 weeks to completely eliminate roaches in most cases, but severe infestations can take up to 6 months to fully resolve.

The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals.
