Q: Are there bird's nest removal tools?

• <div><p>Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird&rsquo;s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.</p></div>

Q: What do mites hate the most?

• <div><p>Mites hate dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and specific scents. Since they prefer humid environments, eliminating moisture inside your home can help kill them off. If you have essential oils at your disposal, you can use eucalyptus, rosemary, and clove to help get rid of and keep mites at bay. </p></div>

Q: Can I use bleach to kill fruit flies?

• <div><p>You can use bleach to kill fruit flies, but it's not the best option because bleach can be toxic to people when used on surfaces. It also isn't as effective as killing flies in drains, as it passes through the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.</p></div>

Not only are mice clever, they are also adept at squeezing in tiny cracks to get into your home. Figuring out how rodents are getting in is key to getting rid of mice quickly and humanely. Check these areas for entry points:

Basement or crawl space
The garage
Gaps in the foundation
The roof or attic
Underneath and around pipes, drains, electrical wiring, and gas lines
Around doors and windows
Baseboards
Kitchen cabinets
Behind appliances

Preventing rats and mice from getting into the attic can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to keep them looking elsewhere for a new place to call home:

Block or cover any potential access holes
Keep piles or stacks of firewood or other materials away from the house
