Pest Control questions, answered by experts

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of essential oils against bed bugs and they are very unlikely to kill the species. However, a 2021 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that compounds in essential oils like clove oil, lemongrass, citronella, and bergamot could repel the insects.

There are quite a few opinions regarding using coffee grinds to keep deer out of your garden, with many people convinced of this method. It makes sense that it could work considering deer have a strong sense of smell and likely do not like the smell of coffee grounds. However, there’s no hard evidence supporting the notion that coffee grounds keep deer away, but it may be worth trying.

If you’re apprehensive about whether pest control services are safe for dealing with a termite infestation, rest assured that they are, as long as you hire a licensed company following strict safety protocols. Before the process begins, you'll need to remove food, plants, and pets from the home to prevent chemical exposure. You’ll also need to vacate your home for a couple of days while the treatment takes place and the chemicals dissipate. Re-entry is only safe once your pest control provider confirms that the home has been properly ventilated and cleared for return.

Raccoons are mostly crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk, though some are nocturnal. In other words, you likely won’t see a raccoon in the middle of the afternoon, though it’s possible in the spring when they are rearing their young. As for the seasons, these critters are active year-round and do not hibernate. However, they’ll likely hide in a den through severely cold weather.

Flea and bed bug infestations are equally difficult (and gross) to remove from your home, requiring professional treatments and long-term follow-up prevention. However, fleas are worse pests to have in your home because they can carry and spread disease to your pets and household members. You should take action to eradicate fleas and bed bugs as soon as you spot them in your home.
