Q: Does one mouse mean an infestation?

• <div><p>Seeing one mouse in your home doesn&rsquo;t always indicate a full-blown infestation. However, it&rsquo;s very likely that if you see one, there are more lurking around. Even if you suspect that a mouse sighting is an isolated incident, it&rsquo;s important to take it seriously. One mouse will inevitably lead to more if you don&rsquo;t take the proper measures to eliminate the problem. </p></div>

Q: What is an owl's worst enemy?

• <div><p>An owl's worst enemy in the wild is often other raptors and environmental factors. Among the avian threats, larger owls or other birds of prey can pose a danger, engaging in territorial disputes or competing for food resources. Terrestrial predators like foxes, raccoons, and larger mammals may target owl nests or young fledglings. Environmental factors like severe weather conditions, habitat loss, and food availability changes can also significantly impact owl populations.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep deer from eating my trees?

• <div><p>To keep deer from eating your trees, you can either put up barriers or install a deer repellant. Barriers that protect trees from deer include tree wrap or fencing. You can also plant deer-resistant trees to prevent deer from eating or scraping against your trees or garden with plants that deer don&rsquo;t like to be around.</p></div>

Q: Should you remove a wasp nest or leave it?

• <div><p>If the nest is on or in your home, you should have an exterminator remove it. However, if the wasp nest is in an area of your yard that you don't frequent, you can leave it alone as long as the wasps don&rsquo;t bother your household members. Wasps are very active during the summer months, but they will vacate in the fall and not return until the following year. So, if it's safe to do so, you can leave it, but if it poses a threat of being stung because it's in an area that you use frequently, consider having it removed.</p></div>

Q: Are carpenter ants or termites more destructive?

"We contacted Adams Pest Control for a problem wasp nest that I couldn't spray effectively. The technician who came out was Caitlin and she was outstanding. She was professional, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did she take care of the nest I was aware of, she was thorough enough to find 2 more and took care of them as well. We had a really good experience with Adams due to Caitlin and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Well done!"
