"I've been a customer for 19 years and I emailed and asked if they had any cheaper options to what I have. They canceled me (I guess). I've sent several more emails and it shows where they have read them, but no one will answer me. I work various hours and have a lot going on and can't find time to call, so that's why I email them. They can't keep people employed and there has been a different person come in my house every time."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Having a few spiders in your home is okay and in many cases can be beneficial. Spiders can help reduce the presence of other pests, such as flying gnats and mosquitos. If you fear that you have a venomous spider living in your house or a large infestation, you should hire a spider exterminator to help you remove it.

Without treatment, it’s unlikely that fleas will go away on their own. These pests can lay dozens of eggs per day, so their numbers can multiply quickly. Even without a host (like a pet, wild animal, or human) to feed on, fleas can survive for weeks. That’s why it’s best to tackle a flea problem as soon as possible.

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of essential oils against bed bugs and they are very unlikely to kill the species. However, a 2021 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that compounds in essential oils like clove oil, lemongrass, citronella, and bergamot could repel the insects.

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’t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.

Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts. 

The Colorado State University Extension suggests there’s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.
