Q: What causes aphid infestation?

• <div><p>Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there&rsquo;s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/planting-pollinators.htm">pollinator plants and habitats</a> to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.</p></div>

Q: How quickly can termites damage a house?

• <div><p>The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.</p></div>

Q: What should you do if you find a hobo spider in your home?

• <div><p>You're more likely to find a hobo spider outside rather than inside your home. If you do find one in your home, don't panic. You can remove the spider by catching it in a glass or cup and transporting it outside. You may also vacuum up the spider and remove it by emptying the vacuum bag. </p><p>If you notice more than one spider, it may be a good idea to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">local pest control company</a> to check out the situation and recommend a course of action. </p></div>

Q: Will rodents leave on their own?

• <div><p>Like a rent-controlled apartment in New York City, rodents know a good thing when they see it. If they've found a cozy nest inside your home, they will set up camp and stay there, leaving only to forage for food and water. As long as they have a warm place to sleep, raise their young, and continue access to water and food, they're going to stick around.</p></div>

Q: Why is my house full of spiders?

• <div><p>If your house is full of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-attracts-spiders.htm">things that attract spiders</a>, you&rsquo;re more likely to have a population explosion. When you have lots of cracks leading to warm, secure spots in your home, why wouldn&rsquo;t they want to come in? Especially if your home has plenty of other meal-ticket insects, like flies, roaches, and fleas. Sealing up obvious cracks and gaps and keeping your house bug-free makes it a less appealing place for spiders.</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!"
