The workers seemed to know their business but after leaving we checked the vent lines and we were surprised to find a considerable amount of dirt left in them. We used are own vacuum to remove what we could. Not good quality control.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.

Rat poison is dyed bright colors like blue, green, or pink. This will allow you to easily identify bait and is intended to prevent accidental ingestion.

Sure, they are icky to behold, but are silverfish bad? In terms of illness or injury to humans, the answer is no because they don’t bite or carry disease. However, they can damage household items, including books, wallpaper, certain foods, and clothing, as they love to feed on starchy materials and adhesives. What’s more, their presence often indicates high humidity or moisture issues in the home, which can lead to further pest problems.
