What’s the difference between pest control and wildlife removal?

• <div><p>Calling your local exterminator at the first sign of a wild animal problem might be tempting. But <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">pest control</a> isn’t the same as wildlife removal, and you’ll want to stick with a wildlife removal pro for this job. <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">Pest control exterminators</a> treat for insect removal and may even use poisonous sprays. Wildlife removal companies only use poison as a last resort and always try humane methods first—taking special care not to harm wild animals.</p></div>

How do I keep roaches away at night?

• <div><p>Aside from incorporating smells that roaches hate in your bedroom, such as citronella, lemongrass, or clove oil, there are a few ways you can keep roaches away at night. First, try moving your bed away from the wall, as roaches will often climb the walls and onto your bed. If you’re still having trouble, you can also purchase a mosquito tent for your bed, or hang netting from the ceiling to surround your sleeping area. Make sure it isn’t touching the ground, though, as they may attempt to climb it. </p></div>

What do spider mites hate?

• <div><p>Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don’t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won’t leave, it’s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.</p></div>

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Calling your local exterminator at the first sign of a wild animal problem might be tempting. But pest control isn’t the same as wildlife removal, and you’ll want to stick with a wildlife removal pro for this job. Pest control exterminators treat for insect removal and may even use poisonous sprays. Wildlife removal companies only use poison as a last resort and always try humane methods first—taking special care not to harm wild animals.

Aside from incorporating smells that roaches hate in your bedroom, such as citronella, lemongrass, or clove oil, there are a few ways you can keep roaches away at night. First, try moving your bed away from the wall, as roaches will often climb the walls and onto your bed. If you’re still having trouble, you can also purchase a mosquito tent for your bed, or hang netting from the ceiling to surround your sleeping area. Make sure it isn’t touching the ground, though, as they may attempt to climb it.

Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.

Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don’t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won’t leave, it’s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.

Fleas are not likely to go away on their own without intervention. This pest lives for around 100 days or up to one year as an adult, so long as it has access to a host. Female fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day, meaning these bugs can quickly spread in your home. Instead of waiting in hopes that they’ll go away on their own, you should hire an exterminator to prevent an infestation from worsening.
