Q: How much does it cost to get rid of ticks?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tick-treatment-cost.htm">Treating a property for ticks costs</a> between <b>$50 and $150</b> on average.

Prices will vary based on your landscape, the size of the treatment area, and the severity of the infestation. </p></div>

Q: What do ants hate the most?

• <div><p>Ants hate strong odors such as peppermint, citrus, cinnamon, and essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus. You can sprinkle cinnamon in the area or combine essential oils with water to form a spray that repels ants in the event of an infestation&mdash;just make sure nothing you apply will harm your surfaces, kids, or pets.</p></div>

Q: What are common signs of a termite infestation?

• <div><p>Mud tubes, wood damage, and swarming are typical indicators.</p></div>

Q: Should you block both the top and bottom of your chimney?

• <div><p>You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.</p></div>
