Q: Does a termite swarm mean I have termites?

• <div><p>Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn&rsquo;t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP. </p></div>

Q: Why is there a skunky smell in my house?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn&rsquo;t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home&rsquo;s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">plumber near you</a> to make an assessment. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to get rid of bed bugs?

• <div><p>The answer varies. Some infestations may get taken care of in one treatment, while others may require two to four in a row, or even monthly or semi-monthly visits over the course of a year. The best way to get rid of bed bugs quickly is to investigate and treat at the first sign of bed bugs and not to let it wait. </p></div>

Q: Will leaving lights on keep roaches away?

• <div><p>No, leaving the lights on will not effectively keep roaches away. While roaches are nocturnal and prefer darkness, they don&rsquo;t avoid lit areas entirely, especially if there&rsquo;s access to food, water, or shelter. In some cases, roaches may even adapt to light if it means survival, and this becomes even easier if there is clutter and other potential hiding spots available. Instead of relying on lights, focus on eliminating food crumbs, sealing entry points, and reducing clutter and moisture to make your home less inviting to roaches. </p></div>

I CALLED SCAT WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMPANY TO TREAT OUR TERMITES. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT TREAT HOMES ON A SLAB, BUT THEY WERE VERY, VERY HELPFUL BY ANSWERING MY NUMEROUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TYPES OF TREATMENTS, ETC. I THINK I MUST HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH HIM FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES...

They are really prompt, they are always here when they say they are going to be here, and their product seems to work. I started using them for mole eradication, but I wouldn't expect results on that. They try, but it is quite difficult to keep up with the moles around here.
