"I had to call Craig Thomas Pest Control 4 times and each time I called I spoke to a different person. It seems I was reaching a call center each time. This was a problem because I needed to cancel the appointment I had made with them. When I called to do so I ended up speaking to a different individual than the one that scheduled my appointment. To avoid any miscommunication I called Craig Thomas twice to make sure the appointment was cancelled. I then made an appointment with another local provider who had very good Angie's list reviews. The problem was Craig Thomas Pest Control's scheduling department is very disorganized. They failed to cancel the appointment and a technician arrived at my house anyway. This was awkward because I had scheduled another local provider for the same time. Unfortunately the Craig Thomas technician arrived before my preferred provider arrived without giving me a courtesy call to let me know he was on his way for an appointment that didn't really exist! The other local provider being a fair and professional individual offered to come in and use his digital heat sensor device to locate the bee hive in the wall of our bedroom. He did this free of charge and thank goodness he did because the Craig Thomas technician's method of investigation was to put his ear up against the wall and listen. The Craig Thomas ear against the wall method unfortunately was ineffective at locating the beehive. If the other local provider had not been there I don't know how this appointment would have turned out...not very good I'm guessing. The technician from Craig Thomas was respectful and professional and after the other local provider located the beehive the Craig Thomas technician did complete the chemical application. I don't blame the Craig Thomas technician because he was just doing his job in the way that he was trained or instructed to so by Craig Thomas. But I would not use Craig Thomas again in the future. I will instead use that other local provider with the digital heat sensor device and easy scheduling. "

A rat nest often looks like a messy, loosely formed pile hidden in a quiet spot. It may appear as a ball-shaped cluster or just a scattered heap made from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, leaves, twigs, and other soft materials. Rats gather whatever they can find nearby to build their nests, often tucking them away in walls, attics, or behind appliances for warmth and safety.
Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.
If you’ve ruled out small cockroaches, some other bugs you might mistake for bed bugs are carpet beetles, bat bugs, and booklice. However, they’re usually found in different parts of the home. Carpet beetles are found in fabrics and carpets, bat bugs live in attics, and booklice dwell around books and damp areas.
Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:
Noting any signs of pests around the home
Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access
Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas
As nocturnal animals, mice are most active at night. During the day, they prefer to hide in cool, dark, and undisturbed places. Common hiding spots include spaces between walls, inside pantries and cupboards, behind sofas, and in old boxes or other clutter.
