Q: Is pest control good for spiders?

• <div><p>Although it's easy to eliminate one or two harmless spiders yourself, professional spider exterminators have the tools, licenses, and expertise to reduce or remove major infestations effectively. They can also safely get rid of venomous black widow or brown recluse spiders and offer advice about preventative treatments to help defend against more infestations.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire an animal removal specialist instead of calling my local municipality?

• <div><p>You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.</p><p>Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.</p></div>

Q: Where do scorpions live in homes?

• <div><p>In a house, scorpions tend to live in crawl spaces, attics, in the nooks and crannies of closets and furniture, gaps under doors/windows, and cracks in your foundation. Outside your home, scorpions like to inhabit shady spaces, such as beneath trees. </p></div>

Q: What smells keep coyotes away?

• <div><p>Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it&rsquo;s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.</p></div>

Q: How do I find where mice are entering my home?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to locate all areas in your home that could be a potential entry point for mice, such as doors, windows, vents, baseboards, holes, and cracks in your home&rsquo;s foundation. Don&rsquo;t forget to check less-obvious areas like the attic, plumbing and sewers, and even the roof and gutters. If you check these spots and don&rsquo;t find any signs of mice, consider hiring a pest control pro to dig deeper into potential hiding spots. </p></div>

We had a large tree fall across our driveway and we hired Bestview Home Services to remove it. The work was done promptly and professionally, and no mess was left behind. We will be hiring them again soon to remove debris like some old deer blinds and fencing from a ranch property.
