"I've used them for five or six years now for the fertilization and weed control. They usually call me and ask if, since the season is starting, I want them to do the five or six treatments for the year and I just tell them yes, take care of it. I feel it's reasonably priced. I glance and the bill and it's not a number that scares me. They recently came out, and before they started, he knocked on my door to say he was here and I told him that I had just thrown grass seed out so he didn't do the service. It was great that he knocked first, because the service would have knocked out the new seeds. So, the fact that they check with you when they arrive, most of the time, is nice. They almost always call to say that they're coming out. Last time they didn't, but that was the first time in five years that I haven't gotten a phone call to say they're going to be out on this date. So, I like the fact that they're calling so that I know someone is going to be in the yard and I can pull the dog in."

There’s no easy way to calm down swarming wasps, especially if they are already agitated. Stay far away and wait for them to settle down to avoid injury. If you’re attempting to DIY kill a very small wasp nest, wait until night to apply wasp spray, as they are calmest and most docile when it’s dark.
Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.
If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.
Ants hate strong odors such as peppermint, citrus, cinnamon, and essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus. You can sprinkle cinnamon in the area or combine essential oils with water to form a spray that repels ants in the event of an infestation—just make sure nothing you apply will harm your surfaces, kids, or pets.
Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:
Lavender
Citronella
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon
Thyme
Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.
For routine pest control maintenance, most specialists recommend treatments every three months (quarterly). However, the ideal frequency can range from monthly to yearly depending on several factors. If you have a severe infestation, more frequent treatments will likely be necessary. Your location also plays a role; for example, homes near water may experience more pests in spring and summer. It's best to discuss your specific situation with a pest control professional to determine a suitable schedule. If you notice any pests between scheduled visits, inform your provider so they can address the issue promptly.
