"This one is for the skeptics: During a remodel we discovered that the largest room in our house was completely un-insulated between ceiling and roof. This company said they could blow insulation in from one end of the 20 foot ceiling to the other. I doubted it. I asked them to cut a hole in the center of the room. They began to blow. I still doubted. I climbed the ladder. It looked like a huge amount of insulation but how could I know that the insulation I saw was not just gathering around the hole. The flow didn't seem particularly forceful. I was THAT dreaded customer. I asked our contractor, a neutral third party, to cut holes on each end of the room. Insulation came pouring down on top of him. He was impressed. I was impressed, and totally embarrassed. But very satisfied. The techs, Joe and Jake, were wonderful through the whole ordeal. Very patient, very kind, very understanding. "You wouldn't be the first to doubt that this could be done," Joe said kindly. They were careful, tidy, and 100% professional. The room is very noticeably warmer and quieter. I couldn't recommend them enough. If you're skeptical, don't be. This works, they can do it, and it's 100% worth it."
"Went great! Signed up for initial treatment of household pests. Serviceman Dedric came out on schedule, calling beforehand to be sure I was home and to let me know he was on the way. First treatment gave AMAZING results. Before the next scheduled service date a month or so later, Dedric called to see how things were going and if I needed any interim supplies, stopping by the next day to deliver them. He just came for the one-month follow-up and treated a few more areas, though we aren't having much of an issue anymore. We are to just let him know anytime we need him to return. He is easy to get ahold of, easy to reschedule with, and VERY EXPERIENCED in this field! He knew exactly where to treat before I even had to say it. Will definitely recommend this company and service provider to anyone in need! "
"We called EasyPM after we came home from a family trip and thought we brought bed bugs home. Andreas from EasyPM was friendly and thorough. We would certainly recommend him and EasyPM to anyone!"
No, wasps only attack when they feel threatened. A sting may seem unprovoked to us, but we likely got too close to a nest. Threatened wasps do, however, send out a strong pheromone that instantly attracts any other wasps in the area.
Aside from incorporating smells that roaches hate in your bedroom, such as citronella, lemongrass, or clove oil, there are a few ways you can keep roaches away at night. First, try moving your bed away from the wall, as roaches will often climb the walls and onto your bed. If you’re still having trouble, you can also purchase a mosquito tent for your bed, or hang netting from the ceiling to surround your sleeping area. Make sure it isn’t touching the ground, though, as they may attempt to climb it.
Stink bugs hate strong, fragrant scents like clove, lemongrass, spearmint, and Ylang Ylang, so you can use essential oils as a natural deterrent. (Always keep them out of reach of your pets!) In the garden, plants like lavender, garlic, and catnip can ward off stink bugs thanks to their pungent aroma. Also, avoid decorating with white, as stink bugs are oddly attracted to it.
If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.
Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.
