Q: What shouldn’t you do when trying to get rid of squirrels?

• <div><p>Unlike for rats and mice, poisonous baits and fumigants aren&rsquo;t a legal option for dealing with squirrel invasions. So, don&rsquo;t set any traps up using standard rodenticides. Remember that you typically need a permit for trapping and relocating squirrels found on your property. Some states even specify the types of traps you need to use.</p></div>

Q: When is prime mosquito season?

• <div><p>Prime mosquito season varies depending on your location. It&rsquo;s longer in the sweltering southern states and shorter in the cooler, drier northern regions. In places like Florida, it can run from February to November, but in the Pacific Northwest, mosquitoes appear in April and can hang around until the end of October. While the hottest summer months are when they are at peak population, mosquito seasons are extending in many regions because of the increase in annual temperatures. </p></div>

Q: Does one mouse mean an infestation?

• <div><p>Seeing one mouse in your home doesn&rsquo;t always indicate a full-blown infestation. However, it&rsquo;s very likely that if you see one, there are more lurking around. Even if you suspect that a mouse sighting is an isolated incident, it&rsquo;s important to take it seriously. One mouse will inevitably lead to more if you don&rsquo;t take the proper measures to eliminate the problem. </p></div>

Q: What attracts brown recluse spiders to your house?

• <div><p>Brown recluse spiders are attracted to homes in search of warm, dry, and dark spots that provide easy access to insects. An existing bug problem is a primary attractant, as spiders follow their food source. Other factors that attract brown recluse spiders include the presence of anything that might lure insects, such as food left out or poorly sealed trash cans. They are also drawn to excessive outdoor lighting, untended wood or cardboard boxes, and dark areas with nooks and crannies for nesting, like woodpiles or dirt piles.</p></div>

Q: Is there anything I shouldn’t do when trying to get rid of snakes?

• <div><p>Even if you have extreme ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), don&rsquo;t try to shoot or kill them with a shovel. Besides being pretty cruel, killing snakes in most states is illegal unless your life is at risk and many species are protected. </p><p>Plus, you're putting yourself at greater risk using these techniques if it goes wrong and the now-angry snake is venomous.</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!!!"
