Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Squirrels follow a diurnal routine like humans, remaining quiet at night because they sleep. Homeowners concerned about squirrels in their homes are more likely to hear these critters in the early morning when they awaken, eager to start their day and search for sustenance. As the sun sets, squirrels wrap up their daily endeavors and return to their cozy nests for the night's rest.

You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know when and what to clean after the treatment. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.

However, you’ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you’ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won’t be exposed to the chemicals.

Eliminate standing water, use mosquito-repellent plants, and maintain regular treatments for best results.

Aside from incorporating smells that roaches hate in your bedroom, such as citronella, lemongrass, or clove oil, there are a few ways you can keep roaches away at night. First, try moving your bed away from the wall, as roaches will often climb the walls and onto your bed. If you’re still having trouble, you can also purchase a mosquito tent for your bed, or hang netting from the ceiling to surround your sleeping area.
