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>

Q: How fast can termites cause damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-termites.htm">Termites</a> can start causing damage within just a few weeks of settling in, and while the signs might not show up right away, they can hollow out drywall and structural wood within a few months. If left untreated for a year or more, the damage can be extensive and expensive.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals identify the signs of bug infestations more accurately?

• <div><p>Trained eyes spot subtle indicators amateurs might miss, ensuring issues are addressed before they escalate.</p></div>

Q: Can you starve bed bugs to death?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can&rsquo;t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it&rsquo;s not a first choice for homeowners.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to be in the house after pest control?

• <div><p>Yes, it is generally safe to return to your house once the pest control professionals have granted permission. Keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll only need to evacuate your home during extreme pest control treatments, such as whole-home fumigation, while more minor treatments don&rsquo;t require leaving. When you return home, be sure to follow the pest pro&rsquo;s instructions carefully, especially those surrounding wait times and safety precautions.</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.
