"These guys worked so hard to remove a colony of bees from my home! They worked late into the evening (bees must be removed at night) and were covered in honey when they left. Then they came back the next day and cleaned some more! Tedd went above and beyond, he brought in my packages that were sitting outside the front door, cleaned the stairs where honey had dripped, and left my home looking pretty good considering what had happened there the night before. I was so impressed by this company that I switched my regular pest services over to them. 5 stars well earned!"

"Critter Capture did an EXCELLENT job helping me with a terrible, horrifying infestation of flying squirrels in my home. I had been battling them and begging for help from another local pest control company and they just made things worse! They actually fed the babies because they used the wrong kind of traps. I found Critter Capture's website and at my first phone call, they went into action. They are the go to professionals for wildlife that has moved inside!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can’t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.

According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.

The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:

  • Peppermint oil

  • Eucalyptus oil

  • Cinnamon

  • Vinegar

  • Cedarwood 

  • Cloves

  • Garlic

  • Chili oil/powder

  • Cayenne pepper

You can get rid of fleas by taking several steps as quickly as possible. First, consult your pet’s vet to determine the best flea shampoo or medicine to apply to their coat. In conjunction with treating your furry friend, treat your house by washing all linens, including pet bedding, in warm to hot water with detergent. You should also use a strong vacuum on all floor surfaces, spread diatomaceous earth in flea-prone areas, and consider using commercial baits, traps, and powders.

Cold winter months won’t always kill off fleas completely. Your home is typically warm enough for fleas to survive or, at least, for the eggs to lay dormant, ready to hatch when warmer weather arrives. Plus, waiting for the winter isn’t a good idea. The infestation will continue to grow, and fleas carry pathogens that can harm humans and pets.
