Q: Does seeing a carpenter ant indoors mean I have an infestation?

• <div><p>No. Carpenter ants range far when seeking out food, usually proteins or sugars. They may be attracted to dead pests near your house, or crumbs in the kitchen or pantry. That doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean you have an infestation, or that there is a nest nearby. However, it does mean that the ants have found a way to enter your home, so it&rsquo;s time to be vigilant.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep mice out of my home?

• <div><p>There are many steps you can take to keep mice out of your home. The most preventative include removing all available food sources, keeping your home clean, and sealing up entry points to your home. You can also try using live traps or even getting a cat. If none of these measures work, enlist the help of a pest control company. </p></div>

Q: What can scorpions not climb?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does mulch attract termites?

• <div><p>No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it&rsquo;s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/proactive-tips-avoid-termite-damage-your-home.htm">resist termites</a> because they&rsquo;re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.</p></div>

Q: Will a mother bird return to a disturbed nest?

• <div><p>In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it&rsquo;s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it&rsquo;s been disturbed, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.</p></div>

Marty removed a bat from the eaves of my attic and he came the same day I called. I was so grateful to have that critter removed before it found a way to enter the actual attic space. Highly recommend.
