Q: What do squirrels hate?

• <div><p>Squirrels hate anything that disturbs the peace in their nest. Loud noises, bright lights, and strong smells like cayenne pepper or mothballs will deter them from your attic. Spread these scents, add a strobe light, or use an ultrasonic repeller to keep squirrels from nesting in your attic.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to be worried about foxes passing on rabies?

• <div><p>Foxes can catch rabies. However, it is rare, and even rarer for them to pass this disease on to humans. If you do see a fox in your vicinity acting strangely, disorientated, having seizures, or randomly trying to bite, contact your local animal control, police, or Department of Environmental Control. And if you are scratched or bitten by an animal you suspect has rabies, seek medical treatment immediately.</p></div>

Q: What is the best natural roach repellent for outside?

• <div><p>We recommend using diatomaceous earth to create roach repellent barriers outdoors. Most oil and spray applications will quickly wear down in outside weather, so they aren&rsquo;t as much use in the outdoors. If you are really struggling with an outdoor roach problem, we suggest looking for pet-safe bait traps you can set.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean a trash can with maggots?

• <div><p>To clean a trash can with maggots, combine chlorine bleach and hot water in a 1-to-1 ratio and pour about half a gallon of the solution into the bottom of your garbage can. Just make sure there aren&rsquo;t holes in the can before doing so. Close the lid, and let the fumes go to work to kill the maggots. Rinse the can with a hose outside. Consider finishing up with a bleach disinfectant and a scrub brush before letting the can dry completely. You can also consider hiring an <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">exterminator near you</a> for a quick, easy solution to maggots in your garbage cans.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to wash my sheets and clothes after pest control?

• <div><p>Yes, you should wash your sheets and clothes immediately after receiving a pest control service. If your pest pro sprayed chemicals inside your home, it&rsquo;s important to remove any lingering residue from your washable items. Consult your pest control pro for a list of post-treatment steps to follow.</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!!!"
