Q: Is there anything you can spray to keep birds away?

• <div><p>You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.</p></div>

Q: Does a woodpecker on the house always mean termites?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home&rsquo;s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.</p></div>

Q: Can an animal come down the chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it&rsquo;s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for a pest control service for businesses?

• <div><p>Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.</p></div>
