"I was initially interested in Birch Hill Critter Solutions because they never use poison to eliminate rodents. Bob is dedicated to this principal. I was impressed by Bob's very thorough assessment of my house and grounds for not just evidence of activity, but even the possibility of rodent access, from the attic to underneath the sunroom addition. He took the time to listen to what I'd been witnessing and shared his knowledge and experience. He gave me a bid which he honored when I hired him. Bob was available within a couple of days, which was important to me. He arrived promptly and worked efficiently and effectively, patiently and professionally explaining as he went. On a freezing day, he took the necessary time to block all access points around and under the house before tackling the inside. He was on task, informative and personable for the entire job, not leaving until he was certain I was happy and satisfied with his work. I could not have asked for a better experience."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts
Vinegar can be an insect repellant, as many bugs find its scent off-putting. However, vinegar is acidic and may also cause damage to any plants it comes in contact with. If you'd like to use vinegar to deter pests in your garden, be careful not to spray it directly on the plant's leaves or stems.
It's also worth noting that vinegar's effects can be short. To continue to repel bugs, you'll need to spray vinegar repeatedly.
Yes. Cellar spiders are predatory and feed on other insects, including other spiders. They eat flies, mosquitos, gnats, moths, and larger prey. That larger prey includes venomous spiders like the brown recluse and the black widow. Basically, a cellar spider is pretty brave and will feed on anything that gets into its web, no matter the size.
The term “gnat” is sometimes used as a blanket term to refer to both fruit flies and fungus gnats, as well as a variety of other tiny flying insects. However, the true one true “gnat” by name is the fungus gnat. While people may mistakenly lump both insects under the term "gnat," fungus gnats and fruit flies have different diets, habitats, and characteristics from each other, as well as the other small flying insects in the “gnat” category.
It’s very rare to find mice in a bed frame or mattress outside of the most extreme infestation scenarios. That said, your bedroom isn’t off limits for mice if it offers them shelter, food, and warmth. Look for any gaps or openings a mouse could squeeze into, and don’t keep food in your bedroom.
Yes, it’s possible for bats in your attic to find a way into your living spaces. Until you can properly remove the bats, the best course of action is to keep the attic doors closed and any holes sealed. Evidence suggests bats follow the airflow in your home, so they may try escaping from the attic to other parts of the house.
