"I have a contract with them so I have to use them again. It pays for itself eventually if you get good repair people. You don't control who they send."
No, poison isn’t the best way to deal with animals in your attic. It’s unlikely to completely eradicate the problem, especially if you don’t take care of access points. Also, poisoned animals may die and decay in the attic, causing noxious odors.
Some animals may leave the attic before the poison kills them, which could lead to nearby pets or other wildlife eating the animals and becoming poisoned themselves. Ultimately, it’s better to avoid using poison and contact a professional instead.
While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases.
Block vents for your dryer, stove, and fans, creating a fire hazard
Clog gutters and drains, leading to roof and siding damage
Damage solar panels
Wiring issues if the nest is on or near a light fixture
Experts have mixed opinions about spraying spiders. A recent study found that chestnut and peppermint oil have a repelling effect on some spider species, but were ineffective at repelling others. You should consult with an expert exterminator to find out what works best to repel the spiders living in and around your home.
Like a rent-controlled apartment in New York City, rodents know a good thing when they see it. If they've found a cozy nest inside your home, they will set up camp and stay there, leaving only to forage for food and water. As long as they have a warm place to sleep, raise their young, and continue access to water and food, they're going to stick around.
Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn’t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP.
