"Excellent. Darian is a straight shooter. I highly recommend going with a small operation like his and avoiding the big players who have high overhead costs and greater financial motivations. I made a few phone calls and started with a company that was highly rated, but I also noticed sky-high costs involved. They charged a $95 trip fee which was excessive, but I wanted to get help ASAP because my renters was very worried. The estimate was for nearly $3000. I immediately knew that was off the wall. Then I called Darian. He was easy going and told me there wouldn't be a trip fee. He diagnosed the job and proposed nearly the same course of action minus a completely unnecessary $1000 repair of something that wasn't broken. His estimate was less than a quarter of the original quote and he did the work without any snags. The final cost didn't exceed the original. I even questioned the cost in the beginning and thought it should cost MORE for disinfectant, but Darian said it was no problem. The work isn't rocket science. Darian could have done $2000 worth of work but he recommended an incremental approach, addressing what was truly required and taking prudent proactive measures, rather than every possible action and running up the price. He did a thorough, honest job."

10/10 would hire again"
Various mites can cause health problems for people and pets, such as allergies, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. Some mites, like scabies and chiggers, can transmit diseases or bacterial infections. Other types, such as dust, mold, and spider mites, also pose risks. Spider mites, for example, can quickly spread to and damage houseplants. It is best to eradicate any type of mite from your home and seek medical care if you experience symptoms.
This varies based on the circumstance. Chemical-based pest control baits and poisons are usually the most potent, but they are unsafe to use around children and pets, so they won’t be a fit for every household.
Safer alternatives, such as boric acid and food-grade diatomaceous earth, can work as well, though they should still stay out of reach. Aside from that, the best thing any DIY-er can do is make their place uninviting by sealing off entry points, eliminating clutter, and maintaining a clean home.
The average lifespan of a stink bug is about six to eight months, depending on species and environmental conditions. Their life cycle includes three stages: Egg, nymph, and adult. Eggs hatch in roughly five days to two weeks, followed by a four to six-week nymph stage where they grow and molt. Once fully matured, adult stink bugs focus on reproduction and can fly to new areas, often seeking refuge in homes in search of warmth.
Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.
Consumer-brand foggers or bug bombs are considered safe overall. Still, it's essential to read the instructions carefully as the vacating time varies depending on the type of bug bomb you use. Most of the time, it's advised that all humans and pets are out of the area for at least two to four hours after initiating the fogger process. It's also a good idea to vent the space by cracking open some windows for several hours after you're back inside.
