"I had two squirrels living in my attic. They set up a barrier with a trap on it to where I thought they were coming in to trap them, and they seemed to go away for awhile but we didn't catch them - spent $170 for that. I heard them again and they came out to set another trap in a different location (spent $160 for that) and managed to catch them both (one at a time after resetting it). My only complaint was the second squirrel was killed while I was at work and was dangling from the front porch eaves where my daughter came across it after work. It was very disturbing to her so I texted immediately to have them come remove it. They said they would be there the next day, but forgot. I think it was another day after that before they came back. They did apologize, but it was rather troubling to have a dead squirrel dangling from my roof for three days. I always feel like things are overpriced when it's something I could really do myself (I thought they would offer more value like looking around for other places that might need to be addressed -- I had to point out all the places to look at). Bottom line the squirrels are gone and none have been back since, so that is good."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

There are quite a few opinions regarding using coffee grinds to keep deer out of your garden, with many people convinced of this method. It makes sense that it could work considering deer have a strong sense of smell and likely do not like the smell of coffee grounds. However, there’s no hard evidence supporting the notion that coffee grounds keep deer away, but it may be worth trying.

Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away. Anything with an element of surprise, like motion-detecting lighting, strobe lights, and noisy wind chimes, can unsettle them. Even loud radios and voices can be perceived as threatening and terrifying to these furry critters.

Whether you should stay in the home during a pest control service depends on the type of treatment. Some types allow you to stay, while others such as fumigation will require you to leave your home. The pest control company will provide specific instructions for the type of service that will be done to ensure you follow the proper protocol to keep you and your family safe.

While foxes may find them unpleasant, mothballs are not an effective deterrent. Additionally, mothballs are toxic for humans and animals and should never be used outside. They contain naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are very harmful to the environment. Use safer, more reliable deterrents, or hire a professional wildlife control expert.

Identifying the specific animal running on your roof at night can be challenging without direct observation. Common nocturnal roof visitors include raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and rats. Raccoons are bigger and can create heavy thumping sounds. Squirrels are agile and may produce rapid scurrying noises. Opossums tend to move stealthily with less noise. Rats can make scratching or gnawing sounds. To determine the culprit, look for signs like footprints, droppings, or damaged areas near the roof. For accurate identification, consult a pest control professional or set up wildlife cameras near potential entry points.
