I hired them last year and continue to use them for my fertilizing and weed control applications. Chris is my local guy and I like that he always calls me first so I can make sure the dogs will be inside and not on the lawn after it is sprayed. My yard looks better than it has in years.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Fleas are master hiders, so they’re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they’re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They’re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it’s important to keep the home clean.

Once you’ve found your scorpion problem, there are plenty of ways to take action against those unwanted pests. The first things you should do are seal any cracks in your home, reinforce your screen doors, and clear up your brush and yard waste. If the problem persists, identify the hot zone areas where scorpions are most likely to go, then apply a sticky trap, spray with scorpion chemical spray, or use diatomaceous earth.

Scorpions have a hard time climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, smooth metal, and slick plastic. Their pincers and legs are designed for gripping rough or textured materials, so they struggle to gain traction on slick vertical surfaces. This is why glass containers or traps are often used to safely contain them. Keeping furniture or bed frames away from walls and using smooth materials as a block can help limit their ability to climb into sleeping or resting areas.

There isn’t one best type of trap for an armadillo. However, Havahart and Tomahawk live wire cages are popular two-door brands commonly used for armadillos. One study suggests wooden traps with armadillo scent on them can increase the chance of success. It’s worth inquiring whether your local wildlife extension has scented traps or wire types available for rent.

Contact pest control if you have a stink bug infestation that you need to eliminate quickly. It’s difficult to kill them without crushing them and releasing their signature odor, or without using a toxic insecticide. Some homeowners have had luck with peppermint oil sprays or soapy water traps. But a professional exterminator will have the best advice and course of action.
