"I highly recommend Wildlife Removal & Prevention. I had a rat infestation in my storage unit and needed someone to come in under short notice to remove and dump my destroyed stored items and clean and disinfect rat droppings from the unit. Wildlife Removal did an excellent job. They were quick and very thorough. I'm so glad that I hired them."

"They did a good job of monitoring the cages. After a few days with the second cage empty, the technician removed the empty cage and closed up the hole. All of the workers were very polite and pleasant to interact with."

"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."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Roaches have a strong sense of smell and are repelled by a variety of potent aromas. Scents that can help deter them include citrus (such as lemon and orange), herbs like peppermint, mint, basil, thyme, and oregano, spices like bay leaves, cinnamon, clove, and garlic, as well as lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree oil, and vinegar.

You can use these scents in several ways to create an unwelcoming environment for roaches:

  • Plants: Place mint or lavender plants in your home or garden.

  • Powders and Leaves: Sprinkle garlic powder or place crushed bay leaves and citrus peels in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points.

  • Sprays: Create a diluted solution with scents like lemon or vinegar to spray in your home. These can also be used in cleaning products or as room fresheners.

  • Essential Oils: While essential oils of these scents can be used, be cautious as they can be toxic to pets if inhaled.

It is important to note that while these smells can help keep roaches away, they typically do not kill them and may not be enough to drive out an existing infestation entirely. For best results, combine these scent-based deterrents with regular cleaning. Be sure to clean up all food spills, crumbs, and dirty dishes promptly, and keep trash cans covered with a tight-fitting lid to remove potential food sources.

While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What’s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.

Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes. As long as the dryer isn’t stuffed to the brim, you can run it on high for about 30 minutes to kill bed bugs at all life stages. This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

You can find a reputable flea exterminator by vetting qualified pest control professionals in your area, interviewing multiple pros to find the right one. Avoid pest control scams by selecting an experienced and insured professional. Licensing is usually required when applying flea-related pesticides, although exact requirements vary by state, and a good exterminator will be happy to show you copies of their certification.
