Q: What questions should I ask when hiring a pro to remove pests?

• <div><p>To make sure the removal process goes smoothly, try asking your pro the following questions: </p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured? </p></li><li><p>How much experience do you have with relocating beehives? </p></li><li><p>Do you remove the honey and honeycomb? </p></li><li><p>Do you relocate the bees alive? </p></li><li><p>Do you have any references from previous clients?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I prevent rats and mice from getting into the attic?

• <div><p>Preventing rats and mice from getting into the attic can be challenging, but it&rsquo;s not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to keep them looking elsewhere for a new place to call home:</p><ul><li><p>Block or cover any potential access holes</p></li><li><p>Keep piles or stacks of firewood or other materials away from the house</p></li><li><p>Seal food and garbage in containers to prevent rodents from chewing through or getting in</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How quickly can termites damage a house?

• <div><p>The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.</p></div>

Q: When are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage during the spring and summer, as warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. Once a colony is established, it can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep birds from pooping on my porch rails?

• <div><p>When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: </p><ul><li><p>Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won&rsquo;t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can&rsquo;t land on it. </p></li><li><p>Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. </p></li><li><p>Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don&rsquo;t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don&rsquo;t like strong smells.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Brian has had the animal control contract at our facility for over ten years. He is consistently thorough with setting, baiting and checking his traps. He has removed many problem animals from our facility, some appeared to have rabies. If I need to call him, he is there quickly. His main concern is always getting the job accomplished in a timely and safe manner. Overall, his prices are very reasonable, he is the only pest control man that I will use. I have also used Brian at my home when a raccoon chewed it's way into my attic and had her litter there. Once again, Brian was quick to respond and resolve the issue. I judge people by how well and how quickly they can do their job. Brian is truly top notch."
