Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes, exterminators spray inside kitchen and other cabinets as part of a whole-home pest control treatment, especially when eradicating bugs that like to hide there, like roaches and ants. If you spot a pest infestation in your pantry or cabinets, be sure to show your pest control pro which areas have the most traffic.

Having a few spiders in your home is okay and in many cases can be beneficial. Spiders can help reduce the presence of other pests, such as flying gnats and mosquitos. If you fear that you have a venomous spider living in your house or a large infestation, you should hire a spider exterminator to help you remove it.

The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.

Exterminators use residual insecticides in either liquid or powder form to kill scorpions. These insecticides are applied directly to visible scorpions and their common hideouts and entryways in a home to kill them and prevent future infestation. Exterminators will also use diatomaceous earth at entryways to slowly kill scorpions that enter a home later.

Roach spray usually starts working almost immediately on contact—within seconds to a few minutes. However, if it's a residual spray designed to keep killing over time, it can take hours or even days to fully affect roaches that come into contact with treated surfaces. For larger infestations, it may take at least a week to see a noticeable drop in activity, since not all roaches are exposed at once.
