"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

Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.

Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people. However, like many animals, they may exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered. If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.

According to the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.

Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.

Early spring is a critical time to protect your garden from rabbit damage. During this season, rabbits tend to target tender green shoots and emerging vegetation. However, it's still a good idea to implement rabbit control measures year-round to establish a comprehensive and effective strategy for long-term success. Keep in mind that preventive measures are often more effective than reactive ones, so early action can help minimize potential rabbit problems.
