"The sales rep, Paul, was amazing. He was professional and very knowledgeable about bats and the removal process. The tech, Adam, was very thorough and accommodating. The price was fair and Paul worked with me on figuring out how to get what I needed done, while staying within my budget, which I very much appreciated. I was worried that it was going to be a really involved process, as bats are a protected species in my state, but Paul and Adam walked me through everything and made it all easy to understand. I will definitely be using them again if I run into another critter problem! 10/10 recommend!"

"..Doug Ashe is the super hero of animal control and removal.  Dont even bother looking at the ads of other wildlife removal vendors.  Doug Ashe does it all.  He stands behind his work.  Evidenced by the vent covering repair he made for us today. Other service providers can only wish they were like Doug Ashe and CWC.  Doug has set the bar high!!

"Joe was at my house within 2 hours. Very friendly, professional and helpful. Ants were gone within 8 hours and we did not have to sign up for additional treatments (big pest control companies require a series of treatments). Excellent experience."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

A rodent infestation often has a distinctive, unpleasant smell. The most common odor is a strong, musky scent, similar to stale ammonia, which comes from mouse urine. As the infestation grows, the smell can become more intense. You might also notice a foul, decomposing odor if mice or rats die inside the walls or hidden areas. This combination of smells is a clear sign of a rodent problem and should prompt immediate action to address the infestation.

Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.

Squirrels have a strong sense of smell and can be deterred by various scents they dislike. Effective options include peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, cinnamon, white vinegar, coffee grounds, and predator urine. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based repellents a good choice for protecting specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a garlic and vinegar spray and apply it daily. Additionally, placing strong-smelling items like certain soaps or dryer sheets near where squirrels frequent can also be effective.

Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:

  • Lavender

  • Citronella

  • Eucalyptus

  • Cinnamon

  • Thyme

Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.

Squash bugs only see one generation per year, but that doesn’t mean they won’t return. These persistent pests overwinter in garden debris, under leaves, and in nearby structures, emerging in the spring ready to start the cycle again. Without proper cleanup and preventative measures, you can expect squash bugs to come back each growing season, especially if you’ve had issues with them in the past.
