Insect & Pest Control

FAQs

How do you repel ticks in your yard?

Tick spray is effective at killing ticks and preventing eggs from hatching. You can also place tick control tubes around your yard to effectively target ticks on mice. Electronic tick repellers offer a safe, chemical-free defence. The pulses from the units inhibit the ticks’ ability to function but are harmless to people, pets, and wildlife.

Are electronic mouse traps effective?

Yes. As with traditional snap traps, electronic mouse traps use a bait to lure the mouse. However, it uses a high-voltage shock to kill the mouse instantly instead of a physical mechanism, which may only injure the mouse. This is more humane and also makes less of a mess. Electronic mouse traps cost more, but they can also be reused over and over again.

Does insect repellent expire?

Insect repellent does not have an expiration date, but it will lose its potency over time. Most brands of repellent should last about three years. Natural repellents that rely on essential oils vs. synthetic ingredients may lose their effectiveness more quickly.

How do you repel birds?

Birds are notorious for eating garden seeds, berries, and other small fruits. There are various methods to keep them out of your yard. Shiny tapes and iridescent objects can be quite effective. Predator decoys such as snakes and owls will deter birds from entering your yard. You can also wrap clear plastic anti-perch strips around favoured branches to prevent birds from gripping.
