Q: Do dryer sheets keep mice away?

• <div><p>Yes, dryer sheets can help repel mice. The strong artificial fragrances found in many dryer sheets, such as citrus, floral, or lavender, are unpleasant to mice, which are very sensitive to smells. Many people report success using them to deter mice from areas like cars, drawers, vents, and cupboards. The scent can last for many days, making the space undesirable for rodents. However, dryer sheets may not be a foolproof solution on their own. For more effective protection against rodent infestations, it is best to combine them with other preventive measures like traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices.</p></div>

Q: What part of the year are rats more active?

• <div><p>Across most of the United States, the fall season sees rats at their prime activity levels. As temperatures drop, rats become more active, spurred by the weather shift to seek shelter as winter approaches. During this time, their curiosity and energy peak, driving them to explore what your home and its surroundings might offer.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of day to trap a groundhog?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find groundhogs are most active during the morning hours and late afternoon, but they want to avoid humans at all costs. If you do set a trap, you can set it out the night before so it&rsquo;s waiting on them the next morning, and try to remove any human scent when setting it out.</p></div>

Q: Is fogging or spraying for mosquitoes better?

• <div><p>Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you&rsquo;re concerned about the environment, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dryer-sheets-beer-diy-mosquito-control.htm">natural mosquito repellant</a> may be better than either fogging or spraying.</p></div>

Q: Do mice go away on their own?

• <div><p>Mice are very unlikely to go away on their own. As long as there is food and shelter available in your home, they&rsquo;ll call it their home, too. If your DIY efforts aren&rsquo;t working, you need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">hire a local pest control service</a> to remove the mice infestation. Aside from carrying diseases, mice can chew through wires, insulation, drywall, and more.</p></div>

"Every person I have dealt with either on the phone or in person has been very professional. The local manager gave me a cheaper quote than the national representative for Terminex. Extremely knowledgeable about pest control. Instead of just getting sprayed for wasps we bought a year contract to protect us against 26 different pests because it was very cost efficient. We got an extra discount if we pay for the whole year in advance. Money well spent!"
