Q: Why are woodpeckers pecking my house?

• <div><p>When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.</p><p>The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.</p></div>

Q: What do paper wasps look like?

• <div><p>Paper wasps look similar to other wasps, like yellow jackets. They have narrow, but not thread-like, waists with black or brown bodies and yellow colorations. You can better identify paper wasps by their nests, which are made with regurgitated wood pulp. The nests look like they are made from paper and usually have visible hexagonal holes, like a honeybee hive.</p><p>They build their nests in places like eaves or branches, and their removal more often warrants the help of a wasp control specialist near you. </p></div>

Q: Do pill bugs bite?

• <div><p>No, pill bugs do not bite, and they do not transmit diseases. Pill bugs also don&rsquo;t infest wood like carpenter ants or termites do, so they don&rsquo;t pose a threat to your home either. In fact, pill bugs pose no threat to humans beyond stealing your veggies.</p></div>

Q: Are moles dangerous?

• <div><p>Ground moles are not typically dangerous. They're not known to carry rabies like many other wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, and bats. And they don't typically bite humans, although it's possible if they feel threatened. If you do get bitten by a mole, it's best to see a physician to be safe, but most often, the bite will heal on its own unless it gets infected.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent bed bug infestations?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing cracks, and inspecting second-hand furniture help prevent infestations.</p></div>

"Duane was wonderful!! Came the day after getting in touch with him to handle a carpenter ant issue in my attic. He texted me this morning to let me know what time he would be here and he was right on. He took in the situation, placed bait in the attic and made sure some was eaten, and then sprayed the exterior of the house. He also made sure to inform me to keep pets away from the perimeter of the house for 4 hours. Great guy!!!"
