"My family has a second home (for retirement) on 50 wooded acres in Virginia, where wildlife control is a very important issue. Since this house is unoccupied (by humans) for about 6 months out of the year, confidence that our home is free of undesirable wildlife is a priority for us. We selected Billy’s Wildlife Control LLC to install Xclusion Rodent Barrier around the perimeter of our home to completely block rodents and snakes from entering the crawl space beneath our house, where we have to go to maintain the houses water filtration system. They also recommended the installation of a new all-metal dryer vent with a magnetic door to prevent the possible entry of any wildlife through the dryer vent. They came out within the week, on a very cold day, and installed 250 feet of exclusion barrier. Our house is anything but perfect, but even so, the managed to install a nearly perfect pest barrier for us. The team is professional, well managed, efficient, and did an outstanding job."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals.

The simple answer is that food attracts moles to your yard. These creatures have a powerful sense of smell, and they’re looking for their next meal, i.e., grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects. Moist, loose soil also makes it easier for them to travel, so an overwatered lawn could attract them. Male moles might make their way into your yard to expand their territory or look for a new mate. And if your neighbor has moles, there’s a good chance they may tunnel over to your yard.

It’s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can’t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it’s not a first choice for homeowners.

Both insects can damage wood, but there are key differences between termites and carpenter ants that tell them apart. Carpenter ants tunnel through moist wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels and sawdust-like piles, as they don't eat the wood but rather carve it for nesting. In contrast, termites actually consume wood, creating irregular galleries filled with mud and dirt, and leaving behind mud tubes as their signature. In terms of appearance, carpenter ants have segmented bodies with heart-shaped heads and larger front wings, while termites have more oval bodies with straight antennae and equal-sized wings.

Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there’s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add pollinator plants and habitats to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.
