"I will always hire Terminix for any pest control that I might need. Sean called and told me that they don't handle my specific issue -- moles. He informed that I needed to go buy some Chase at the local hardware store & take care of it myself with a fertilizer spreader. As it turned out, I not only handled my own issue in about 1/2 hour, but I spent only $25 for the product and hand spreader vs. The $175 and $225 estimates I received from the other folks. Oh, and the moles are no longer living in my yard. Thanks, Terminix, and I'm referring you to everyone I know!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The primary attractant for moles is food. With a powerful sense of smell, they seek out grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects in the soil. Other factors can also draw them in, such as moist, loose soil which makes tunneling easier, so an overwatered lawn can be an invitation. Additionally, male moles may enter your yard to expand their territory or find a mate, and if a neighbor has a mole problem, it's possible for them to tunnel over to your property.

Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal’s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it’s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.

Scorpions cannot climb smooth, non-porous surfaces because their pincers and feet are unable to get a grip. This includes materials like clean glass, polished metal, and slick plastic. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured surfaces like wood, brick, or stucco, their inability to scale smooth vertical surfaces is why glass jars and other slick containers are effective for trapping them or creating barriers.

Although it would make things easier for you, animals won’t likely leave the attic on their own. Unless the animal finds seasonal respite in your attic, it’s likely to stay in a protected space as long as it is allowed. Get rid of animals in your attic by calling the appropriate wildlife removal professionals so they can safely and efficiently remove the critters from your home, being careful to avoid further damage to your home.

Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren’t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called “child-resistant,” but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can’t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don’t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets.
