Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Common house roaches, typically American cockroaches or Periplaneta americana, usually live for around one year. The male American cockroaches survive for about one year, although the females may live up to 700 days. That’s because the reproductive cycle alone can last around 600 days for this type of cockroach.

The fastest method to get rid of moles is, unfortunately, not the most humane one. Poison baits and traps are the quickest way to get rid of a mole infestation. 

However, the poison can be dangerous and even deadly to other visiting animals, such as birds, cats, and dogs. The toxins can even affect predatory birds who eat the moles after they've consumed the poison.

The cost to hire a pest control specialist varies depending on the type of infestation. For example, the cost to exterminate spiders averages from $100 to $300. Other pest control costs include:

  • Ants: $100–$500

  • Bed bugs: $350–$5,000

  • Cockroaches: $100–$600

  • Fleas: $150–$400

  • Rodents: $180–$600

  • Wasps: $100–$1,300

  • Mosquitos: $70–$500

  • Bats: $230–$700

  • Beehives: $75–$1,500

  • Termites: $230–$2,500

  • Snakes: $130–$600

  • Armadillos: $50–$500

Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.

You can find a variety of humane bird repellent sprays online and at home improvement stores. However, if you want to try a DIY method that will keep birds away without harming them, mix some water, dish soap, and a few drops of peppermint oil and spray the area you want bird-free. Peppermint oil is a notoriously lovely smell for humans, but birds tend to avoid it.
