Can you imagine your steak being served by a dirty rat at Porterhouse Steakhouse? You might snicker at the thought, but there’s nothing funny about rodents taking over your home. How about if you were enjoying a nice picnic at Blue Heron Park when your lunch was picked up and carried away by ants? Even worse, how would you like to wake up to those ants in your home? We wouldn’t want that. That’s why we offer pest control in Moses Lake.

While your gliding down the Columbia River in your kayak or riding the waves on your wind surfer, what do you like to think about? Could it be that cold brew from White Bluff Brewing, or maybe a tasty treat from the Spudnut shop? That certainly hits the spot when you get off the river. What you don’t want to think about is your home being infested by bugs, pests, and other insects. Pointe Pest Control can help you get back to what you like to do without worrying about invaders swarming your family home.

"They were very professional and easy to work with."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

Scents such as peppermint oil, rosemary, garlic, and cinnamon can help deter squirrels from your property. Squirrels also have a strong aversion to the scent of capsaicin, the naturally-occurring compound that provides the characteristic heat in chili peppers. This makes capsaicin-based repellents an effective way to deter squirrels from specific areas like gardens or bird feeders. Additionally, squirrels aren’t a fan of strong, fresh scents, so you may have success placing strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets near where they frequent.

Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn’t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP.

Various scents can help keep mice away from your home, but peppermint is one of the most popular, which overwhelms their sense of smell. Other scents you can try that mice don’t care for include eucalyptus, bergamot, clove, and cinnamon oils. However, be careful with essential oils if you have pets at home, as many are unsafe for cats and dogs.

Trapping is generally not recommended, as even gentle traps can become as inhumane as kill traps if a rabbit is caught and stuck for several days. Additionally, capturing one rabbit isn’t likely to prevent other rabbits from wandering your yard. If you choose this method, it's essential to use live traps designed for humane capture and release of the rabbits in a suitable, safe habitat far from your property. Be sure to set a reminder and check the trap at least twice per day.
