Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Scorpions are repelled by strong scents like lavender, cedar, peppermint, and cinnamon. Applying essential oils of these scents mixed with water around your home's perimeter and entry points can act as a mild, chemical-free deterrent. In addition to scents, scorpions also tend to avoid well-lit areas, preferring to hide in dark, cool, and damp places during the day. However, it's important to note that these methods are not fully effective on their own and should be combined with other preventative efforts, such as sealing any potential entryways into your home.

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

You don’t need heavy-duty chemicals to get rid of a bobcat. In fact, one of the most simple and effective methods of preventing bobcats from entering your property is by keeping your yard clear of overgrowth by trimming bushes and trees regularly. This eliminates potential hiding spots for a bobcat and makes them easier to spot in general.

There’s indeed no guarantee termites won’t return to your home, even after top-notch professional treatment. In areas where these hardy pests are prevalent, it can be tricky to banish them for good.

However, maintaining preventative measures, keeping a close eye out for early signs, and purchasing an ongoing professional treatment management plan can ensure you keep termites at bay and reduce the chance of any damage. Professional whole-house termite treatments can last five years or more.

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.
