"Pest Patrol offered very prompt and professional service. I called on a Saturday and they were there Monday to take care of our need. They didn't try to sell us any gimics or extras. We had an infestation of carpenter ants, and there very next day I only saw 1 and have not seen any (except dead ones) since."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.

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.

Squash bugs don’t bite humans or pets. Their piercing-sucking mouthparts are designed specifically for feeding on plants, not people. While they can be a major nuisance in the garden, they pose no direct physical threat to you, and you don’t need to worry about bites, stings, or venom from these pests.

Wasp nest removal costs $525 on average, but prices vary based on several factors. This service requires professional-grade tools and treatments, including the spraying of insecticides and pesticides, so you’re investing in a long-lasting and efficient removal. The cost of wasp removal depends on the size and type of infestation, location, and necessary repairs.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.
