"A few years back our company was taking a large tree down and it had about 1000 bee's inside the tree. Bat Bee & Hornet came and removed the hive and the bee's. So now I had a need at our home, we had a next of about 30 to 40 European Hornets living inside our Gazebo. I called Paul and he came out, I was not home when he performed the work, but my neighbors watch him and when I came home, no hornets not even a dead one on the ground. It has been over a week now and still no hornets. Now Paul did say they can return and eggs could be around that have not hatched yet. I am hopeful they are gone for good. I must say I did call another company first, because I forgot at first about the Bee's in the tree since it was work related vs home related. And the other company would only work with us if we became a client that used their services for home pest prevention's. They quoted me a price a couple hundred more than what Paul quoted me, and then once Paul did the work he discounted his price close to 20%. Yes i would call Bat Bee and Hornet again."

"They seem to do a good job on the pest control. The treatments seem to be working. The technicians seem curteous. We have asked them to make morning appointments and they usually come in the afternoon. I feel they should have it in their system that we like to take the morning appointments."

"Very friendly tech came to examine our house. He was really late, but this did not matter - lost his way. The cost was way beyond what we are willing to pay for pest control (over $1000) but we do have a fairly problematic carpenter bee problem."

"Terminex e-mailed me within an hour of my request to let me know they'd be in touch. About 40 hrs. Later they called to set up an appt. To come out for the service I needed. Everyone, from the appt. Maker to the service tech. Was courteous, professional, and let me know they were there to resolve my issues. I had an initial treatment, a follow-up, & a free termite inspection performed, & the cost was average for my area for the services performed. I found out my home had issues we didn't even know about, and they were handled by Terminex immediately. I would highly recommend Terminex to each & every person who needs Pest Control services."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

Whether dryer sheets can keep squirrels away is a bit of a mystery because the evidence is entirely anecdotal. Many households claim to have success with using dryer sheets for keeping squirrels away by placing them throughout their attics, yards, on a clothesline, and any other area where squirrels like to run through. Squirrels do not like strong scents, so if you try using dryer sheets, the ones with the strongest scent may be the most effective.

Once you’ve found your scorpion problem, there are plenty of ways to take action against those unwanted pests. The first things you should do are seal any cracks in your home, reinforce your screen doors, and clear up your brush and yard waste. If the problem persists, identify the hot zone areas where scorpions are most likely to go, then apply a sticky trap, spray with scorpion chemical spray, or use diatomaceous earth.

The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them. Here are some household products that can repel rodents. When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:

  • Peppermint oil

  • Eucalyptus oil

  • Cinnamon

  • Vinegar

  • Cedarwood 

  • Cloves

  • Garlic

  • Chili oil/powder

  • Cayenne pepper

No, pest control is not covered by home insurance. This is considered routine maintenance that is the responsibility of the homeowner. Although this may be discouraging news, don’t let it deter you from taking care of your home so you can prevent pests from entering and becoming a bigger nuisance. Otherwise, you may have a bigger problem on your hands that you’ll also have to cover out-of-pocket.
