How do I keep pests away from my garden?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden. </p></div>

Do pest-repellent plants repel all insects and animals?

• <div><p>No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden—they won’t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won’t completely eradicate them from your yard.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle pest control myself?

• <div><p>DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.</p></div>

Q: What should you do if there’s a dead animal in your air ducts?

• <div><p>If you discover a dead animal in your air ducts, address the issue promptly to prevent unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent further spread of contaminants and contact a professional HVAC technician or pest control specialist to remove the animal and clean the affected area. They have the tools and expertise to handle the situation, including removing and disinfecting contaminated ductwork. The technician will inspect the ducts for any damage or other issues that might have allowed the animal to enter. </p></div>

Q: What smells do deer hate the most?

• <div><p>Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.</p></div>

The job was when when he said it would be done. I said to leave the sticks and stumps there and they picked them up and see them nice and neatly by the fence with out asking them to do. Cleaned up so good it looked like no one had work done to my trees

I have an area behind my backyard fence that through years of neglect had grown into an impenetrable jungle. Tree branches had grown over the fence reaching the ground inside my yard. Behind the fence, the undergrowth of bushes, vines, and weeds was so thick it was impossible to walk through....
