Q: What’s the difference between pest control and wildlife removal?

• <div><p>Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.</p></div>

Q: Do honey bees sting?

• <div><p>Yes, honey bees can sting, but they typically only do it when they feel their hive is threatened. When honey bees are away from their hive, they&rsquo;re focused on foraging for pollen and nectar, making them unlikely to sting. Only female honey bees, called workers, have stingers, and they will die if they need to use them. Generally, if left undisturbed, honey bees will leave you alone.</p></div>

Q: Will pest-repellent plants kill animals?

• <div><p>Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don&rsquo;t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it&rsquo;s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.</p></div>

Q: Should I try to remove a bee's nest myself?

• <div><p>You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-honey-bees.htm">honey bees</a> can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.</p></div>

Q: Can vinegar kill bamboo?

• <div><p>No, vinegar cannot kill bamboo. Common household chemicals like vinegar and even bleach are unlikely to kill bamboo, and they may only have minimal effect on bamboo roots. Since they can alter the chemical composition of nearby soil, we suggest avoiding these methods. Bamboo is very tough and not even all herbicides work well against it. To beat back bamboo, find an herbicide that&rsquo;s specifically designed to work against tough grasses.</p></div>

Tim showed up about five minutes after I called him to have a look at the tree that fell on my shed after the ice storm. Gave me a fair price and started on it that afternoon. He and his crew did more than they had to, and they did it right.
