Great service. Brian's maintains the lawn and in winter does plowing. Lawn care is on a schedule that I control. By agreement plowing is done whenever the Service determines it is needed. I definitely recommend Brian's Lawn Care.

"Pete did a great job. First of all, he came promptly and got the bats in the house, which was a big relief. But more importantly, he worked diligently at closing up gaps that other contractors had missed. He climbed, crawled, hung, or finessed his way all over the troubled areas and foamed shut opening that had probably existed for years. We had tried with other contractors on multiple occasions to seal the area around our chimney but Pete finally got it done. Bats had been an almost annual problem. Four years later, we have still not had a single bat in the house since thanks to Pete's work."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Foggers work best on insects out in the open, such as ants. Insects that tend to hide, including bed bugs, are less susceptible to the bombs and will likely need to be dealt with in another manner.

Various scents can help keep mice away from your home, but peppermint is one of the most popular, which overwhelms their sense of smell. Other scents you can try that mice don’t care for include eucalyptus, bergamot, clove, and cinnamon oils. However, be careful with essential oils if you have pets at home, as many are unsafe for cats and dogs.

Effective methods include topical treatments, oral medications, fogging, and insect growth regulators. Professional pest control guarantees comprehensive results.

Ants hate strong odors such as peppermint, citrus, cinnamon, and essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus. You can sprinkle cinnamon in the area or combine essential oils with water to form a spray that repels ants in the event of an infestation—just make sure nothing you apply will harm your surfaces, kids, or pets.

Ironically, stink bugs tend to hate plants that have a strong odor. Along with the plants that attract their predators listed above, here are a few pungent plants to add to your garden:

Garlic
Radishes
Mint
Lavender
Rosemary
Thyme
Catnip
Lemongrass
