Q: What time of year are bees most likely to swarm?

• <div><p>Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: What are the common signs of a bug infestation?

• <div><p>Unexplained bites, strange smells, and bug nests in concealed areas warn of potential infestations.</p></div>

Q: Can you trap rabbits?

• <div><p>Trapping is generally not recommended, as even gentle traps can become as inhumane as kill traps if a rabbit is caught and stuck for several days. Additionally, capturing one rabbit isn&rsquo;t likely to prevent other rabbits from wandering your yard. If you choose this method, it's essential to use live traps designed for humane capture and release of the rabbits in a suitable, safe habitat far from your property. Be sure to set a reminder and check the trap at least twice per day.</p></div>

Q: What is the best frog repellent?

• <div><p>You can make a DIY frog repellent with salt, citric acid, or vinegar. Spray the repellent around your pool to deter frogs from jumping in. </p></div>

Matt was prompt, efficient, clean, and did excellent work both painting the exterior of our home and advising us on color selection. The price was reasonable and he didn't ask for any up front money. He completed the job, we inspected it together, and we paid him. Just like it should be....

Amazingly hard workers totally refurbished our entire yard, flowerbeds, under deck, etc. So impressed that we will definitely hire them again for any future yard projects. In addition, will be calling them back to winterize and for future yard care.
