Q: Does pouring bleach down the drain prevent roaches?

• <div><p>While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don&rsquo;t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when hiring an ant exterminator?

• <div><p>There are several things to consider before you hire a professional exterminator:</p><ul><li><p>Do they have the proper licensing?</p></li><li><p>Are they experienced?</p></li><li><p>Do they use eco-friendly products?</p></li><li><p>Are their products pet safe?</p></li></ul><p>These are questions to ask yourself when you&rsquo;re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.</p></div>

Q: Do mothballs keep bats away?

• <div><p>No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.</p></div>

Q: What attracts skunks to your yard?

• <div><p>Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.</p></div>

Q: What smell do rats hate?

• <div><p>You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don&rsquo;t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.</p></div>

"I am very happy to give King Pest Solutions a 5 Star review. Their representative, Eric, arrived on time and gave me an overview of what he was going to do to protect our house from termites. Together we walked around the perimeter of my house and he showed me the tools he was going to use and answered all my questions before getting started. The process took about 2 1/2 hours to complete and my home is now protected. Eric was efficient and knowledgeable about the process and, once again, made sure all my questions were answered before leaving. I will certainly continue to work with King Pest Solutions in the future."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don’t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.

There are several things to consider before you hire a professional exterminator:

Do they have the proper licensing?
Are they experienced?
Do they use eco-friendly products?
Are their products pet safe?

These are questions to ask yourself when you’re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.

No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.

Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.

You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching.
