Q: Do bats come back to the same place every night?

• <div><p>This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they&rsquo;ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.</p></div>

Q: Will mothballs keep foxes away?

• <div><p>While foxes may find them unpleasant, mothballs are not an effective deterrent. Additionally, mothballs are toxic for humans and animals and should never be used outside. They contain naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are very harmful to the environment. Use safer, more reliable deterrents, or hire a professional wildlife control expert.</p></div>

Q: What type of pest causes the most damage to a house?

• <div><p>While many pests like rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can damage your home, termites are among the most destructive. By sheer dollar amount, the damage from a bad termite infestation is unparalleled, as they can ruin walls, floors, roofs, and wooden support materials, potentially requiring massive reconstruction. Other highly destructive pests include rodents, carpenter ants, and bees that build hives within walls. If you spot signs of termites or other pests, you should hire an exterminator immediately.</p></div>

Q: What do spider mites hate?

• <div><p>Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don&rsquo;t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won&rsquo;t leave, it&rsquo;s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.</p></div>

Q: When are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage during the spring and summer, as warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. Once a colony is established, it can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

"Not only did Owen perform our preemptive pest control to prepare our crawlspace for encapsulation, but he did our crawlspace too! He was polite, professional, knowledgeable, and an overall expert on all of the services he provided. From start to finish we had an exemplary experience that went above and beyond our expectations. If you have issues with pests, need crawlspace work, or just an expert with a plethora of knowledge, give Owen a call. Prices were upfront and honest, and most importantly more than reasonable for the quality of work and customer service we received. There’s no other recommendation I would give other than Owen!"
