Q: Do rats come back after a successful extermination?

• <div><p>If rats found a spot they liked to build a nest, then it&rsquo;s possible more rats will show up or return to that same spot. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to close off any access points rats may be using to get inside your home.</p></div>

Q: What causes aphid infestation?

• <div><p>Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there&rsquo;s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/planting-pollinators.htm">pollinator plants and habitats</a> to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring bleach down the drain prevent roaches?

• <div><p>While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don&rsquo;t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.</p></div>

Q: Are termites hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don&rsquo;t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments. Queen termites can lay up to thousands of eggs per day, meaning these pests can spread quickly. You may need to combine DIY treatments and professional extermination services to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">get rid of a termite infestation</a>. </p></div>

Q: What scents do mosquitoes hate?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Lavender</p></li><li><p>Citronella</p></li><li><p>Eucalyptus</p></li><li><p>Cinnamon</p></li><li><p>Thyme</p></li></ul><p>Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.</p></div>

Joe, from Keuka sweeps, came on time with all the supplies he would need. He vacuumed up lots of dust and dirt....and mopped the floors after that. He cleaned the bathroom and kitchen beautifully. He was delightful to work with. Now our house looks so clean and smells great too.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

If rats found a spot they liked to build a nest, then it’s possible more rats will show up or return to that same spot. That’s why it’s important to close off any access points rats may be using to get inside your home.

Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there’s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add pollinator plants and habitats to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.

While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don’t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.

Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don’t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments. Queen termites can lay up to thousands of eggs per day, meaning these pests can spread quickly. You may need to combine DIY treatments and professional extermination services to get rid of a termite infestation.

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.
