Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The length of time it will take for an exterminator to successfully get rid of roaches in your home depends on the type of roach, the severity of the infestation, and the extermination method. While some smaller infestations may be effective within 1 to 3 days, most exterminations take around 2 to 8 weeks to work completely. More severe infestations can take up to 6 months to fully get rid of cockroaches.

The term “gnat” is sometimes used as a blanket term to refer to both fruit flies and fungus gnats, as well as a variety of other tiny flying insects. However, the true one true “gnat” by name is the fungus gnat. While people may mistakenly lump both insects under the term "gnat," fungus gnats and fruit flies have different diets, habitats, and characteristics from each other, as well as the other small flying insects in the “gnat” category.

You should call pest control for cockroaches when you see two or more of these pests or clear warning signs of an infestation. Signs of an active roach infestation are roach droppings, dark smears on surfaces, roach eggs, foul odors, and shed skins. If you notice these unusual marks in your home, consider hiring a pest control specialist for an inspection.

Paper wasps, like many other wasps, are attracted to sweet smells that remind them of nectar. That’s why wasps may buzz around you as you snack on watermelon on the patio. They may also like the scent of certain perfumes. Standing water attracts these wasps, too.

Paper wasps are also attracted to warm, sheltered spaces, where they can build nests and raise larva in protected areas away from predators. They may also be attracted to untreated wood on your deck or fence, as they use wood pulp to build nests.

Unlike for rats and mice, poisonous baits and fumigants aren’t a legal option for dealing with squirrel invasions. So, don’t set any traps up using standard rodenticides. Remember that you typically need a permit for trapping and relocating squirrels found on your property. Some states even specify the types of traps you need to use.
