"I found Ares Pest Control through Home Advisor, and I'm so glad I did! Michael responded promptly to my inquiry, which I submitted online after business hours. I had a nest of very aggressive hornets, and he came over the next day to remove them. Although we didn't meet (he took care of the hornets while I was at work), I appreciated how prompt, friendly, and thorough he was via email. He charged a very fair price for his services, too. Thank you, Michael!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes. While cellar spiders can seem creepy or scary, they’re essential to the ecosystem. They feed on smaller insects in your home or elsewhere, keeping those populations in check. They’re also food for birds and small animals, so if you let a cellar spider live and simply transport it outside your house, you’re letting the natural cycle continue undisturbed. 

It is highly unlikely that fleas will go away on their own without treatment. Female fleas can lay dozens of eggs per day—up to 50—causing their numbers to multiply quickly and spread throughout your home. An adult flea can live for around 100 days or even up to a year as long as it has access to a host, such as a pet or human. Even without a host to feed on, fleas can survive for weeks. Because of their rapid reproduction and resilience, it's best to tackle a flea problem as soon as possible. Hiring an exterminator is recommended to prevent the infestation from worsening.

The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals.

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.

Start by searching online and asking friends and family. Some exterminators are more well-versed in moth removal than others, so peruse their website ahead of time, searching for mentions of moths. 

While on their website, look for any relevant licenses, certifications, and memberships to professional organizations. Also, look for liability insurance, as accidents happen when dealing with pesticides. Search for red flags by reading customer reviews online. Finally, give them a call to discuss the job.
