Q: When are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage during the spring and summer, as warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. Once a colony is established, it can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

Q: What is a natural deterrent for geese?

• <div><p>Look for goose repellents that contain the ingredient methyl anthranilate. This is a natural chemical found in grape juice. In human food, it&rsquo;s often used as grape flavoring. With geese, it&rsquo;s highly irritating. Grape Kool-Aid contains methyl anthranilate, the active ingredient in most bird repellents. It won&rsquo;t harm geese, but it will deter them. </p></div>

Q: Why hire professionals for termite control?

• <div><p>Ensures thorough identification and eradication, preventing extensive property damage.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep birds from pooping on my porch rails?

• <div><p>When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: </p><ul><li><p>Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won&rsquo;t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can&rsquo;t land on it. </p></li><li><p>Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. </p></li><li><p>Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don&rsquo;t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don&rsquo;t like strong smells.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will rain affect a professional mosquito treatment application?

• <div><p>Whether rain affects a professional mosquito treatment depends on the treatment type, the quantity and intensity of rain involved, and how soon after the treatment it rains. Larvicides, for example, are often applied to water sources where mosquitoes lay their eggs, so it won&rsquo;t matter if it rains. Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spraying-yard-misquitos.htm">barrier sprays</a> need sufficient time before the next rainfall to penetrate the surfaces properly and do their work.</p></div>
