Q: Is wasp removal free?

• <div><p>Wasp removal is challenging for pros and novices and carries the risk of painful stings. Therefore, it&rsquo;s not surprising that wasp removal is not free. You can save money by going the DIY route, but paying a professional exterminator increases the chance of effective removal&mdash;and keeps you from painful wasp stings.</p></div>

Q: What decoys scare rabbits away?

• <div><p>Scarecrows and lifelike animal decoys, such as snakes, owls, coyotes, foxes, and hawks, can initially deter rabbits. However, these tactics might lose effectiveness if rabbits learn they are harmless. Having your dog or cat roam and mark the yard with their scent can also prove beneficial. Keep in mind tactics like these work best when combined with other methods.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to evacuate the home after a bed bug treatment?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to fully evacuate your home after a bed bug treatment, you will have to stay out of the treated rooms (or the whole home) for at least four to five hours after treatment. In most cases, you can return to sleeping on your existing mattress and use your existing furniture, but it&rsquo;s best to confirm this with a bed bug pro.</p></div>

Wonderful service and fast to respond. It was a huge tree and he laid it down right where he said it would go. Cut it up and we wanted the limbs for a fire and he left them for us. Super nice person to visit with. Great with the dogs and our animals.

It was excellent. They were able to schedule the job according to the weather, they came when they were able to because of the weather, and barely took a break. I was amazed that the cleanup was good and only two of them could get the job done.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

Wasp removal is challenging for pros and novices and carries the risk of painful stings. Therefore, it’s not surprising that wasp removal is not free. You can save money by going the DIY route, but paying a professional exterminator increases the chance of effective removal—and keeps you from painful wasp stings.

Scarecrows and lifelike animal decoys, such as snakes, owls, coyotes, foxes, and hawks, can initially deter rabbits. However, these tactics might lose effectiveness if rabbits learn they are harmless. Having your dog or cat roam and mark the yard with their scent can also prove beneficial. Keep in mind tactics like these work best when combined with other methods.

While you don’t have to fully evacuate your home after a bed bug treatment, you will have to stay out of the treated rooms (or the whole home) for at least four to five hours after treatment. In most cases, you can return to sleeping on your existing mattress and use your existing furniture, but it’s best to confirm this with a bed bug pro.

You’ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:

Full property inspection—indoor and outdoor
Proper animal identification
Written management plan with follow-up visits included
Humane removal techniques
Preventative exclusion measures

If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait, you’ll need to contact an emergency animal control company near you.

Based on infestation severity, semi-annual or annual checks are recommended.
