Q: Do squash bugs bite?

• <div><p>Squash bugs don&rsquo;t bite humans or pets. Their piercing-sucking mouthparts are designed specifically for feeding on plants, not people. While they can be a major nuisance in the garden, they pose no direct physical threat to you, and you don&rsquo;t need to worry about bites, stings, or venom from these pests.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a mouse or a rat in your house?

• <div><p>It may be better to have a mouse in your house than a rat. Rats are larger, more aggressive, and more difficult to eradicate once settled. One rat can cause more damage than one mouse. However, both animals pose a danger in that they can spread bacteria and contaminate food, so you&rsquo;ll want to contact an exterminator as soon as you detect an infestation of either animal.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

"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."
