Q: How do I know if I have a bee infestation?

• <div><p>Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: Do carpenter bees make honey?

• <div><p>Carpenter bees do not make honey like honey bees, but they are still essential pollinators. In fact, they have a unique talent called &quot;buzz pollination,&quot; in which they use the vibration from their wings to help release pollen from the flowers' anthers. Honey bees are also vital pollinators but do not use this process because they are too small and lack the strength required to buzz pollinate.</p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly termite treatments?

• <div><p>It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can&rsquo;t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.</p></div>

Q: Will rats leave on their own?

• <div><p>Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.</p></div>

When I was unhappy with the first company I found through you, Ned Stevens, I contacted G&M Painting and they helped me get my gutters cleaned even though it was freezing cold and it has snowed a week before. I was very happy to get someone to help me in these awful weather conditions.

Do they use eco-friendly products?
Are their products pet safe?

These are questions to ask yourself when you’re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.
