Who removes a hornet nest?

• <div><p>You should hire a wasp or hornet removal professional to get rid of an active or dormant hornet nest. Due to the feisty and dangerous nature of these pests, it’s best to hire a professional who has the proper skills, tools, and experience to remove a nest safely. Do not attempt to remove an active hornet nest on your own.</p></div>

Does apple cider vinegar repel mice?

• <div><p>There's anecdotal evidence that apple cider vinegar does help to repel mice. But the best way to repel mice is to keep your home scrupulously clean and seal up any obvious entry points. If you already have a mouse infestation, apple cider vinegar won’t get rid of the critters. It’s usually worth the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">cost of professional pest control</a> to make sure a serious mouse problem is eradicated completely.</p></div>

Q: Can spider mites damage grass?

• <div><p>Spider mites don&rsquo;t have too much in common with actual spiders, but these insects can absolutely destroy a lawn. Spider mites feed on grass roots and blades and are extremely effective at draining nutrients from plants, which can quickly kill grass. These mites are ravenous, so talk to a pest control pro at the first sign of spider mites in your lawn.</p></div>

Q: What drives away bed bugs?

• <div><p>Some natural applications are known to make bed bugs unhappy, like peppermint and tea tree oil. But bed bugs are tenacious and as long as there are sleeping humans around to feed on, they&rsquo;ll stick around. It&rsquo;s best to destroy them outright by using heat, steam, or fumigation methods.</p></div>

Q: What are the best deterrents for possums?

• <div><p>The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.</p></div>

"In 2017 we had an infestation of black ants so we contacted Dakota Pest Control. They were prompt, thorough, informative, and offered to come out for another treatment if needed at no additional cost. Fortunately, one treatment was all we needed. Since it was so nice to not have to deal with spiders, ants, and other pesky insects last year we decided it was worth it to have a general treatment done this year and will probably continue on an annual basis. Cost was very reasonable for the services provided."
