Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Drain flies aren’t likely to make you sick and typically aren’t harmful to humans. They don’t bite or sting; however, they can cause allergies. In some individuals, they can also trigger asthma. The main issue with these little bugs is that they’re annoying, unsightly, and unsanitary. Like all flies, they can spread bacteria from garbage or your sewer system.

Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations for exterminators. You can also browse online for reputable ant control companies in your area—make sure they have glowing reviews and the proper licenses and permits. 

Give them a call, and they can take a look at your infestation, determine the type of ant they’re dealing with, and give you a cost estimate. Then, you can compare quotes and choose the pro that’s right for you.

No, water bugs are not big roaches. Water bugs and cockroaches are different insects entirely, belonging to different orders. They are often confused for one another because they are similar in appearance, but water bugs and cockroaches have close-up differences in how they look, plus they behave and feed in very different ways.

How often you need pest control depends on your infestation problem. If you have a one-off issue, such as a wasp nest in a high-traffic area, you shouldn't need regular service. However, if you live in an area prone to ticks, termites, and ants, you'll likely need at least an annual pest control service. If the problem is persistent and significant, you may need quarterly or monthly service.
