"I hired Integrity for an initial termite and pest inspection. Jennifer provided very clear information about their services and terms. The initial inspection was free because I didn't need a document to show the results and no treatment was needed for termites or other bugs. The technician Ryan arrived promptly and did a thorough inspection of the house, attic, and crawlspace. When he found a possum trapped in the crawlspace, he rescued it and took it away to release, for a very reasonable fee. I was completely satisfied with Integrity and I plan to use them for all future pest control needs. I would recommend them highly!"

There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.

Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to prevent moles from destroying your yard.

Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.

DIY flea control includes regular cleaning, vacuuming, and using flea sprays or collars, useful for mild cases.

Some of the best smells for keeping squirrels away are those that have a spicy or pungent odor. This includes pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, mint, and coffee. Just be careful when handling cayenne or chili pepper. Don’t touch your face to prevent getting some in your eyes, and be sure to keep it away from children and pets.
