Eastside Exterminators is fabulous! Professional, friendly, and informational. Everyone I dealt with in their office, from the person answering the phone, to the inspector, to the insulation installers, to the rat-proofing expert were all knowledgeable and great to work with. I continue to use their services for traps and removal services. And best of all, still no rats in the crawl space!
I would definitely use them for any future pest issues.
"Initial visit - blocked outside access to crawl space & set traps. 2 return visits to pick up dead rats and reset traps. Gave advice on how to further ways to block access. I trapped some of the inside rats, and they kept the crawl space cleared with traps set. I have signed up for 2 additional monthly visits to make sure I am on top of the problem. Ask for Don, he is super friendly and concientious."

Scorpions are repelled by strong scents like lavender, cedar, peppermint, and cinnamon. Applying essential oils of these scents mixed with water around your home's perimeter and entry points can act as a mild, chemical-free deterrent. In addition to scents, scorpions also tend to avoid well-lit areas, preferring to hide in dark, cool, and damp places during the day. However, it's important to note that these methods are not fully effective on their own and should be combined with other preventative efforts, such as sealing any potential entryways into your home.
Scorpions may be native to desert climates, but they are nocturnal and like to find shelter in dark, cool places during the day. Your home has many ideal spots to conceal themselves in. Beyond that, they can get all the food they need from the other insects or spiders hiding in the walls of your home, and your air conditioning vents likely have condensation to provide them with cool water to drink.
Dawn detergent does much more than clean germs on your dishes. It can also help remove flea eggs from your pet. Give your pet a bath using a few squirts of Dawn in warm water—be sure to keep it away from their eyes—to wash away those flea eggs. Note that Dawn doesn’t actually kill the eggs, nor can it help you with any eggs that have already fallen off your pet and taken up residence in your household, though.
Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can’t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.
