Do misters keep mosquitoes away?

• <div><p>Yes, water misters can temporarily keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away, as these will wet their wings and make them unable to fly. However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it’s not a permanent or long-term solution. It’s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.</p></div>

What does a squirrel in a chimney sound like?

• <div><p>A squirrel in a chimney may sound like gnawing since they like to chew through a wide range of materials. You may also hear a persistent scratching sound if they’re trapped inside and unable to get out themselves. Other evidence of a squirrel in your chimney includes holes on or around your chimney as well as droppings or damage to roof shingles or wiring.</p></div>

Q: Is there anything I shouldn’t do when trying to get rid of snakes?

• <div><p>Even if you have extreme ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), don&rsquo;t try to shoot or kill them with a shovel. Besides being pretty cruel, killing snakes in most states is illegal unless your life is at risk and many species are protected. </p><p>Plus, you're putting yourself at greater risk using these techniques if it goes wrong and the now-angry snake is venomous.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>Red bite marks, blood spots on sheets, and small brown fecal stains near sleeping areas are common signs.</p></div>

Q: What shouldn't you use or do to get rid of birds?

• <div><p>It's advisable to avoid using harmful methods to eliminate birds. Poisoning birds is inhumane and can have unintended ecological consequences, affecting other wildlife and pets. Similarly, using firearms or other lethal means poses safety risks and could be illegal in many areas. Sticky substances like adhesives can cause birds to become trapped and injured. Lastly, playing excessively loud or distressing noises can stress birds and humans. Focusing on humane and environmentally responsible strategies is essential when dealing with bird issues.</p></div>

We provide all types of pest control services if it is a pest we kill it. Guaranteed elimination

"Chris has been coming to our house in Ferndale for almost two years, always top-notch. This is the first year we've had persistent carpenter ants, first noticed when it was still cooler weather. But then I recently discovered what I thought might be "a nest" outside, so I called the office in a panic (thank you Chloe!) Chris came right out and zapped em good. He really went the extra mile to make sure our outdoor kitties were safe & secure beforehand. I can't imagine how spread-thin they must be responding to calls, with warm weather having kicked in so quickly. But he's always patient and thorough. It does not go unnoticed!"
