Q: What smells do deer hate the most?

• <div><p>Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.</p></div>

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: Is pest control good for spiders?

• <div><p>Although it's easy to eliminate one or two harmless spiders yourself, professional spider exterminators have the tools, licenses, and expertise to reduce or remove major infestations effectively. They can also safely get rid of venomous black widow or brown recluse spiders and offer advice about preventative treatments to help defend against more infestations.</p></div>

Q: Can you prevent spider infestations before they begin?

• <div><p>Luckily, spiders rarely &ldquo;infest&rdquo; a home like many other pests. They don&rsquo;t tend to live in groups except when first born, and prefer their space. But you can prevent them from gaining entry by making sure your home is well-sealed and free of other insects. You can also lay down barrier sprays or powders designed to repel or kill spiders. Professionals can also lay down these barriers to prevent future spider problems.</p></div>
