Pest Control questions, answered by experts
Earwigs may look scary with their pincers, but they don’t pose a serious threat. They don’t sting, and bites are rare. They might pinch if handled roughly, but it's more of a nuisance than a danger. They’re not known to transmit disease, but you should still alert a pest control pro if you have a large infestation inside your home.
Squash bugs technically aren’t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
Spider mites hate high humidity, strong air circulation, and potent smells like peppermint oil. Utilizing these factors can help deter spider mites so that they don’t feast on your plant leaves and inhibit growth. If you try these methods and spider mites still won’t leave, it’s time to hire a professional pest control service to tackle the task.
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
Naturally occurring EPA-registered Bti products are an effective way to kill off mosquitoes at the larval stage. And, although they won’t wipe them out, there are lots of natural repellents that make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes. Try planting some marigolds, lemon thyme, or other plants they’ll steer clear of, light a citronella candle or two, or lay some bug-offensive cedar mulch.
