Q: What should I avoid using when baiting an iguana trap?

• <div><p>When baiting an iguana trap, several items should be avoided. Do not use poisonous baits, such as those intended for rats or mice. This practice is often illegal, is unlikely to attract iguanas, and poses a significant risk to pets or other wildlife. Additionally, avoid using herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are toxic to iguanas, such as fresh sage, rosemary, avocados, and eggplants. While ripe fruit can be an effective bait, be sure to remove any pits or seeds from fruits like apples, pears, and peaches, as they are highly toxic. Finally, steer clear of citrus fruits, which act as a natural deterrent.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep pests away from my garden?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you&rsquo;ll grow vegetables that&rsquo;ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden. </p></div>

Q: Can an exterminator get rid of wasps?

• <div><p>Yes, exterminators are a type of pest control professional that is qualified to remove wasps safely and effectively. Exterminators will inspect the wasp problem, administer professional-grade treatments, and apply preventative measures to avoid a future infestation. Consult a local exterminator about your wasp problem as soon as you identify it.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can you remove a wasp nest yourself?

• <div><p>You can remove a wasp nest yourself, but it isn&rsquo;t a good idea. Although it looks easy enough to hit down a nest with a broom, wasps may be inside or around the nest and are known for getting aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you follow our guidelines for removing wasps nests with pesticide spray, insecticidal dust, water and dish soap, or boiling water, you may be able to safely tackle the problem.</p></div>

Q: Will a dryer kill bed bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes.

Soot was getting all over the room. I asked him to quit and come back when it was not so windy outside thinking that the wind was blowing the soot out of the chimney. I think they need to have a better way to control the soot. I will update this post when they come back.
