Q: How do I locate fleas in my home?

• <div><p>Besides checking your pet&rsquo;s fur, you can use two other tests to find fleas in your home: the white sock test and the water and lamp test.</p><p>To perform the white sock test, simply put on a pair of long white socks and drag your feet along the carpets in your home. Fleas will gravitate to the heat created by your socks. The water and lamp test involves placing a bowl of water on the floor and shining a light over it. Fleas will then be attracted to the light and land in the bowl of water.</p></div>

Q: Do coffee grounds keep deer away?

• <div><p>There are quite a few opinions regarding using coffee grinds to keep deer out of your garden, with many people convinced of this method. It makes sense that it could work considering deer have a strong sense of smell and likely do not like the smell of coffee grounds. However, there&rsquo;s no hard evidence supporting the notion that coffee grounds keep deer away, but it may be worth trying.</p></div>

Q: Do ultrasonic squirrel repellents really work?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://icwdm.org/species/rodents/tree-squirrels/tree-squirrel-damage-prevention-and-control-methods/">Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management</a>, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.</p></div>

Q: What baits are unsafe or illegal to use for possums?

• <div><p>You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties. Furthermore, these poisons can cause unnecessary suffering for the animal and pose a significant risk of accidental poisoning to pets or other neighborhood wildlife. Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.</p></div>

"Very professional and explained everything they were going to do over the phone and again in person. They are fast and efficient. We get water bugs where we live if we don’t spray. I was using a store bought spray that wasn’t fully eliminating the problem along with spiders. Ive never found a company that will also spray on the inside, that made a huge difference! Essential pest control came out a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen a bug since! I highly recommend them!"
