How do I get rid of fleas in my yard without harming my pet?

• <div><p>There are several ways to get rid of fleas in your yard without harming your pet. One option is to use a flea control treatment (such as a spray or bomb) that’s safe for pets. If you’re unsure whether a certain product is pet-friendly, check the label or ask a pest removal pro. Alternatively, you can apply beneficial nematodes—which won’t affect pets or people—to your lawn.</p></div>

Q: Should I be worried if I see a carpet beetle?

• <div><p>While carpet beetles won&rsquo;t bite you like bed bugs do, they still aren&rsquo;t pests you&rsquo;d want to find in your home. Carpet beetles in their larva stage can be voracious and cause a lot of damage as they eat through fabrics on furniture, clothing, bedding, rugs, and other materials. If you see carpet beetles, you&rsquo;ll want to have an exterminator come by to assess the damage and control the infestation.</p></div>

Q: Does one snake mean more?

• <div><p>No, one snake does not always mean more. While snakes do often congregate in dens to breed, for most of the year, they are primarily solitary creatures that do not travel in groups. A single snake may make its way near your home in search of food, warmth, or shelter.</p></div>

Q: Are German cockroach traps safe for pets?

• <div><p>Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren&rsquo;t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called &ldquo;child-resistant,&rdquo; but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can&rsquo;t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don&rsquo;t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets. </p></div>

Q: What can scorpions not climb?

• <div><p>Scorpions have a hard time climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, smooth metal, and slick plastic. Their pincers and legs are designed for gripping rough or textured materials, so they struggle to gain traction on slick vertical surfaces. This is why glass containers or traps are often used to safely contain them. Keeping furniture or bed frames away from walls and using smooth materials as a block can help limit their ability to climb into sleeping or resting areas.</p></div>

"I needed to replace my home's original deck. A friend recommended Jim Pull with Premier Exteriors, so I had Jim out for a consultation and estimate. I'll say right away that Jim has a kind and gentle personality, and he struck me as being very honest. Once we settled on a design, Jim sent me a quote with digital drawings and a fair price.
