"Joe from Peters Pest Control texted me and came a little earlier than scheduled. He was very polite, professional, and explained everything. I had two (2) separate in ground yellow jacket nests in my yard. He sprayed and dusted both nest areas, and within a few days, I expect all the bees to be finished. The company also guarantees their work. Thank you Joe."

"I used them for years. Since we moved we have been using the provider closer to us. They put in several monitors after having termite problems. They were supposed to come monitor them. They just started only monitoring a few of the devices not all of them. They scheduled an appointment with us, and I took the time off to wait for them and they never came out. I called them, and they had anciently gone to our neighbor's house by mistake and inspected it and filled out a report for their house not ours. We rescheduled the appointment and did not show up then either. When I called the office, she did not have the appointment on her calendar. They were not the least bit apologetic. They were kind of rude about it. I thought it was terrible that the same guy didn't show up twice. They did ask if I wanted to reschedule but at that point I did not. As soon as our contract ends with them we will be changing to another company."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Sort of. Hornets are a subsection of wasps with some unique characteristics (along with yellowjackets and similar types of insects). Hornets are generally rare in the United States, with European and Asian hornets the two notable examples.

Hornets tend to be significantly larger than wasps, often larger than one inch. They are also typically white or brown striped instead of yellow like many wasps. They tend to be one of the more aggressive types of wasps, which when combined with their size makes them a priority for homeowners.

Scorpions cannot climb smooth, non-porous surfaces because their pincers and feet are unable to get a grip. This includes materials like clean glass, polished metal, and slick plastic. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured surfaces like wood, brick, or stucco, their inability to scale smooth vertical surfaces is why glass jars and other slick containers are effective for trapping them or creating barriers.

While there are many sweet, ripe, or fermented items that attract fruit flies, the clear winner is apple cider vinegar. The liquid is sweet, potent, and fermented, making it the perfect bait for luring fruit flies into your trap.

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

Wasps dislike a great many essential oils, such as clove, geranium, and lemongrass. Combine a few drops of each in a cup and place this cup outside to repel wasps from your immediate surroundings.
