Q: What’s the most common wood-eating pest?

• <div><p>While there are many types of wood-eating pests, the most common one in the United States is termites. They are found in every state and are typically worse in warm and humid climates. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-common-myths-about-swarming-termites.htm">They cause billions of dollars in damage</a> every year, which is why it&rsquo;s vital that homeowners address infestations as soon as possible.</p></div>

Q: Do pest-repellent plants repel all insects and animals?

• <div><p>No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden&mdash;they won&rsquo;t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won&rsquo;t completely eradicate them from your yard.</p></div>

Q: What deters squirrels the most?

• <div><p>Squirrels are like scent detectives. They rely heavily on their noses to locate their next meal and cozy shelter. But guess what? They're not fans of certain scents like coffee grounds, peppermint, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, and predator urine. You can try some natural squirrel-repellent tricks by whipping up a garlic and vinegar spray concoction and applying it daily to areas you want to protect.</p></div>

Q: Can vinegar kill bamboo?

• <div><p>No, vinegar cannot kill bamboo. Common household chemicals like vinegar and even bleach are unlikely to kill bamboo, and they may only have minimal effect on bamboo roots. Since they can alter the chemical composition of nearby soil, we suggest avoiding these methods. Bamboo is very tough and not even all herbicides work well against it. To beat back bamboo, find an herbicide that&rsquo;s specifically designed to work against tough grasses.</p></div>

"Elderly Beware! They didn't kill any of the weeds. Should have never let them continue for 5 months. They charged my mom and my daughter for the same service period and tried to charge a late fee when they had a credit card on file."

Family owned and operated full service pest control and extermination services.

"I live in an apartment and my property management company contracted with Superior for pest control. I and several other residents have been dealing with a cockroach infestation for several months now. During the last treatment visit, the technician was rude and unprofessional in his conduct towards me. When I said that not all the roaches were being killed (this was after two months of treatment), he lashed out and told me, "I'm trying to educate you and you're not listening." He also said that I should not expect all the roaches to be killed because he was just trying to keep them under control, not get rid of all of them. He said, "That's why it's called pest control." I expect exterminators to resolve a pest issue completely, not just make the situation a little better. If this had happened in a home that I owned, I would have kicked this man out immediately and found a different company."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

While there are many types of wood-eating pests, the most common one in the United States is termites. They are found in every state and are typically worse in warm and humid climates. They cause billions of dollars in damage every year, which is why it’s vital that homeowners address infestations as soon as possible.

No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden—they won’t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won’t completely eradicate them from your yard.

Not only are mice clever, they are also adept at squeezing in tiny cracks to get into your home. Figuring out how rodents are getting in is key to getting rid of mice quickly and humanely. Check these areas for entry points:

Basement or crawl space
The garage
Gaps in the foundation
The roof or attic
Underneath and around pipes, drains, electrical wiring, and gas lines
Around doors and windows
Baseboards
Kitchen cabinets
Behind appliances
Air vents
