Q: What scent will keep wasps away?

• <div><p>Wasps dislike a great many essential oils, such as clove, geranium, and lemongrass. Combine a few drops of each in a cup and place this cup outside to repel wasps from your immediate surroundings. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a flea bomb in every room?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need a flea bomb in every room of your home, but that largely depends on the level of infestation you have. A single fogger can likely treat most of your space, unless you have a lot of square footage to cover. However, you may need to use one or more per room depending on your needs, which an exterminator can likely determine. </p></div>

Q: What does a rodent infestation smell like?

• <div><p>A rodent infestation often has a distinctive, unpleasant smell. The most common odor is a strong, musky scent, similar to stale ammonia, which comes from mouse urine. As the infestation grows, the smell can become more intense. You might also notice a foul, decomposing odor if mice or rats die inside the walls or hidden areas. This combination of smells is a clear sign of a rodent problem and should prompt immediate action to address the infestation.</p></div>
