Q: What time of day do hawks hunt?

• <div><p>Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.</p></div>

Q: Do pest-repellent plants repel all insects and animals?

• <div><p>No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden&mdash;they won&rsquo;t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won&rsquo;t completely eradicate them from your yard.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth calling an exterminator for ants?

• <div><p>While it may cost more to hire an exterminator than trying to treat the problem yourself, a professional is worth hiring if you have a major infestation. If the problem is severe and the ants are causing damage to your home, then DIY methods may not be as effective as a professional treatment. Plus, if you have carpenter or fire ants it&rsquo;s best not to risk the damage they can cause to your home.</p></div>

Q: What type of pest causes the most damage to a house?

• <div><p>Rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can all cause damage to your house, but termites are among the most destructive. These pests make their way into your home and feed on the wood, weakening its structure. They can also damage outdoor structures, such as decks or fences. You should hire an exterminator immediately if you spot signs of termites or other pests.</p></div>

Q: What eats silverfish?

• <div><p>Notably, earwigs, centipedes, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-spiders.htm">spiders</a> all enjoy a silverfish lunch. You can&rsquo;t turn to natural predators to fix your silverfish problem: In fact, one issue with silverfish is that they can bring in unwanted earwigs into the house or cause a minor infestation of hungry spiders, so it&rsquo;s important to get rid of them as soon as possible.</p></div>

"Fantastic service. This service is well worth the price. Spraying the cellar kills the termites in the cellar but Terminix goes the extra step by placing bait outside the house. This lures the termites away from the house and they carry poison back to their nest.Terminix also guarantees their work as a protection against future damage to the house.Fantastic and professional service. I definitely recommend Terminix."
