Q: How often should I schedule professional rodent control services?

• <div><p>Based on infestation severity, semi-annual or annual checks are recommended.</p></div>

Q: What keeps termites away?

• <div><p>Natural methods such as spraying orange oil, spreading diatomaceous earth, or spreading boric acid can help prevent termites from entering your home or damaging your garden. Place these solutions near termite entry points to deter them. Termites also dislike the smell of cedarwood, geranium, and tea tree oil, which can all be used to keep termites away.</p></div>

Q: Why might moles be drawn to my property?

• <div><p>The simple answer is that food attracts moles to your yard. These creatures have a powerful sense of smell, and they&rsquo;re looking for their next meal, i.e., grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects. Moist, loose soil also makes it easier for them to travel, so an overwatered lawn could attract them. Male moles might make their way into your yard to expand their territory or look for a new mate. And if your neighbor has moles, there&rsquo;s a good chance they may tunnel over to your yard.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung?

• <div><p>The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.</p></div>

Q: Are mushrooms dangerous for pets?

• <div><p>As with anything ingested by animals, there is always a chance that mushrooms will be toxic. Clearing the tops of mushrooms from the soil to prevent them from being eaten by pets is always a good idea. Since poisonous mushrooms can be deadly, we recommended that any mushroom ingestion is treated as a veterinary emergency. Watch for signs of lethargy and digestive distress in any animal suspected to have eaten a mushroom and contact your vet immediately.</p></div>
