Q: What do stink bugs smell like?

• <div><p>When threatened or crushed, stink bugs emit a pungent scent often described as smelling similar to cilantro. However, some people say it can smell like sulfur or ammonia. The scent is produced by a gland on their abdomen and some species can spray the scent too. </p></div>

Q: What do raccoons in a chimney sound like?

• <div><p>Raccoons in a chimney sound like thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying. Because they can weigh as much as 20 pounds, they make noises that are noticeable and hard to miss. Plus, they have an average litter size of 3 to 7 kits, so you may hear what sounds like multiple animals thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying.</p></div>

Q: What smell do rats hate?

• <div><p>You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don&rsquo;t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if a coyote comes toward me?

• <div><p>If a coyote approaches you, never run away, even if it goes against your natural instinct. Make yourself look big, shout loudly, and throw something in the coyote's direction. Be persistent and continue these scare tactics until they move away. Then, you should move away slowly, always facing the coyote.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest treatment for bed bugs?

• <div><p>The safest ways to treat bed bugs are non-chemical, such as using diatomaceous earth, essential oils, and heat and cold treatments. Heat treatments are also one of the most effective methods because it kills bed bugs at all levels of life stages: eggs, nymphs, and adults. However, you still need to take precautions by removing items that can be susceptible to heat damage. You also need to remove plants and pets from your home during treatment.</p></div>

We hired Janesville Chimney and Fireplace to clean and inspect our chimney. He showed upon time and did a very good job. Very nice young man and we were charged a fair price. We feel safer now knowing the chimney has been cleaned and inspected. Thank you Janesville Chimney and Fireplace.

I had a large pine that had to come down. It was on the corner of my lot, so he had the street, houses, and numerous wires to deal with. He had the tree down, cut up, and ready to haul away within an hour or so. He was also conscientious of other plantings I have there. I absolutely recommend...
