"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

A rodent infestation often has a distinctive, unpleasant smell. The most common odor is a strong, musky scent, similar to stale ammonia, which comes from mouse urine. As the infestation grows, the smell can become more intense. You might also notice a foul, decomposing odor if mice or rats die inside the walls or hidden areas. This combination of smells is a clear sign of a rodent problem and should prompt immediate action to address the infestation.

The most effective natural roach repellent is Borax with its key ingredient of boric acid and diatomaceous earth. But some homeowners may not feel like these are “natural” enough, especially since you can’t use Borax around curious pets or toddlers.

On the other hand, studies have shown that oregano oil mixtures have some of the best repellent effects, and other research indicates that catnip oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils have notable effects on keeping roaches away. Rosemary oil has been shown to be the most effective natural oil for killing cockroaches outright.

False chinch bugs are generally smaller and somewhat paler than true chinch bugs, although they otherwise look similar. The name is a bit of a misnomer: They act very similarly and both feed on plants by sucking out their juices. However, chinch bug feeding tends to be very destructive to the plant, while strangely the false chinch bug does relatively little damage.

Bleach, which can kill drain flies, can also kill fruit flies, but it’s better to lure fruit flies to a liquid rather than applying chemicals, as it’s very difficult to reach them all. A more practical approach is to lure fruit flies with traps made from liquids like apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap. This method is safer and more efficient, since it targets a larger number of fruit flies without relying on harsh chemicals that may not reach all the pests.

Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.
