Offering both home pest control and commercial pest control services, we placed our core values right in our name so that we’ll never forget what drives us. Hawx stands for: Honesty Attitude Work Ethic Excitement

"Sales person stated I would receive monthly service and free treatment if critters appeared during scheduled visits. Technician stated no we only receive quarterly and they do not come out in between scheduled visits. After spending two hours on hold trying to cancel contract for breach, customer service representative hung up. Never use this company."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Ironically, stink bugs tend to hate plants that have a strong odor. Along with the plants that attract their predators listed above, here are a few pungent plants to add to your garden:

  • Garlic

  • Radishes

  • Mint

  • Lavender

  • Rosemary

  • Thyme

  • Catnip

  • Lemongrass

Gnats may eventually go away on their own, but it depends on the source of their attraction. If the environment that’s attracting them—such as overwatered plants, moist areas, or food debris—isn't addressed, they can persist or even increase in numbers. Reducing moisture, improving drainage, and cleaning up organic matter can help eliminate them. Without these changes, gnats are likely to stick around and continue breeding, making it important to remove their breeding grounds to get rid of them for good.

The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.

It’s been said that baking soda can kill fleas as it may dry out eggs and larvae. However, this method has not been proven to be effective in killing fleas or other pests. However, you can use it to absorb smells so if there is a fragrance you believe is attracting fleas or ticks, you can use baking soda to rid the smell to control it.

Although raccoons aren’t particularly picky regarding food, certain sounds, metals, and smells bother them. You can place these items around your home to keep raccoons away:

  • Place wire mesh screens around and underneath decks and porches to prevent raccoons from nesting. 

  • Put metal sheeting around the edges of your roof or at the base of trees to deter raccoons from coming close. 

  • Place a loud battery-operated radio near the raccoon’s den to keep them from nesting.

  • Keep a bowl of cider vinegar on your deck or porch.

  • Remove old raccoon scents by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting underneath porches and decks.
