"The rep that came to my home was not prepared. He did not come with all of his supplies. I had to provide him with missing supply. All in all the gentleman was very nice showed me where all traps were placed and also sprayed for ants. The ant problem is still bad as the weather gets warmer. I will need to call once my 15 days are upp to re-spray. The office person that I spoke with gave me information that I explained to the service man and he states that they were not aware of a paticular service in getting out mice in my home. Actually what they did I was doing anyway but did not know exactly where to place all of the traps. I am not sure this was worth my money and time. I gave a fair rating because of the courtsey I was given. The work done I am not to pleased. Thank You"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.

Most DIY roach fogger products are made of pyrethroid pesticides that come with their own unique risks and benefits. They also contain aerosol propellants that disperse the pesticides by creating a fog that fills the entire room. Read all labels carefully before purchasing a fogger product to ensure that you understand how to properly handle the ingredients that you are introducing into your home.

There are plenty of scents spiders hate, but there are some scents scientists believe can work in the opposite way and attract them into your home. Some studies suggest that spiders may be attracted to stinky items like smelly socks. One thought is spiders are attracted to smells that attract more insects, such as mosquitos, which they feed on.

Adult fleas can live from a few days to about two weeks without a host. If pets are not available, fleas may feed on rodents or people. While adult fleas need a blood source to survive, flea pupae can lie dormant for up to a year in optimal conditions. Therefore, cleaning and treating the infested area is essential to prevent pupae from surviving and hatching later.

Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:

  • Lavender

  • Citronella

  • Eucalyptus

  • Cinnamon

  • Thyme

Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.
