Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Male carpenter bees actually don't have a stinger, but they will hover around areas as a defense mechanism to deter intruders. However, females can sting but are not typically aggressive and tend to only sting when threatened or provoked. They are less active at night, so you are less likely to encounter them because they tend to rest at night.

When threatened or crushed, stink bugs emit a pungent scent often described as smelling similar to cilantro. However, some people say it can smell like sulfur or ammonia. The scent is produced by a gland on their abdomen and some species can spray the scent too.

You can prevent wasps from returning by having follow-up visits with your local exterminator. If you don’t want to harm more wasps, consider adding a fake nest to a tree or the house. These nests deter wasps from building around your home.

You can also repel them using natural substances like vinegar, coffee grounds, and cinnamon. Wasps also dislike the smell of certain plants, including eucalyptus, peppermint, basil, and lemongrass—just plant them in your garden or pots by your doors.

The scents that groundhogs hate most include garlic, hot peppers such as cayenne, and various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano. Planting these crops in or near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows can help ward them off.
