"Outstanding service from Patriot Pest Control. We had a situation with a raccoon on our property, only to find out that it was actually 3 raccoons. Patriot Pest Control removed and relocated the raccoons in an extremely quickly, humanely, and efficiently. They cleaned up the entire area where the raccoons and traps were. Michelle and Greg were an absolute pleasure to work with. It is extremely clear that they are very knowledgeable about their business and very conscientious with regard to their customers. Their pricing is very fair, and their service is, simply, incomparable. I would highly recommend them for all of your pest control needs. You really have no need to look anyplace else! They are also very community involved and help with various charities, including those for our veterans. That may or may not be important to you, but it is to me. We would not consider any other company for pest control!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

A solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water or a disinfecting product that contains phenol (such as Lysol) is known to kill hantavirus and other pathogens found in mouse urine and feces. Simply spray this solution over and around the locations you expect mice to be living and running through, and the homemade disinfectant will do its job to rid your home of any feces and urine particles you could be exposed to.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.

When selecting the right pest control company to banish mosquito populations around your home, first search for well-reviewed, qualified, licensed professionals. Next, make sure you’re comfortable with the pro’s methods—some companies offer natural control products and not just chemical options. Finally, check the company’s contract carefully for things like guarantees, discounts for multiple treatments, and liability insurance.

Stay calm and avoid acting like a threat. Avoid swatting at the wasps or yelling, which will agitate wasps and make them more likely to attack. Instead, move away at a slow, steady pace in one direction, getting as much distance between you and the wasps as possible. 

Wasps swarm to protect their nest, so moving far away indicates you are not a threat and they should subside. Do not try to handle a wasp nest filled with agitated wasps. Wait until they call down before you take action, or trust in a professional.
