Q: What are the best deterrents for possums?

• <div><p>The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.</p></div>

Q: What are common pests in commercial spaces?

• <div><p>Cockroaches, ants, flies, bed bugs, and termites are common in business environments.</p></div>

Q: What will kill adult fleas?

• <div><p>The same heat treatment that&rsquo;s effective on flea eggs will also destroy the adults. There are four stages of the flea life cycle&mdash;egg, larva, pupa, and adult&mdash;and you&rsquo;ll have to keep all of them in mind when taking on a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-pests-most-likely-invade-your-home-and-how-get-rid-them.htm">pest infestation in your home</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long does pest control take?

• <div><p>Pest control timelines depend on what services are being provided, size and type of infestation, and size of your home. Some inspections can take an hour or more, while preventative treatments only take 30 minutes to complete. Basic spaying for a problem like roaches or termites can take about an hour for small homes, but much longer for large properties and infestations. Consult your pest control pro for a time estimate based on your situation. </p></div>
