How big is a small squirrel compared to a big squirrel? I believe I have gray or black tree squirrels in my attic and I want to trap them out. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and they're active most days. They seem to sleep most of the night but sometimes there I hear scratching just before dawn. There is a big walnut tree in the back park and I think they’re storing their nuts in my attic. Should I trap them in the attic or outside?

musty smell in mattress

Tech Support — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:32:26 +0000

I have a double-bed mattress which was stored in our garage. It was in a plastic bag and is clean and in good order in all way, but it smells seriously musty. Would NNZ be the best product to spray on the mattress? OR do you recommend another method of removing the odor? I can lean it up against a wall in our family room for a few days to allow the NNZ to penetrate and/or odors to disperse. What do you think? Any suggestions would be welcome. I can’t afford another mattress right now and I need this bed. Thanks.

Hello all,

I have a pickup truck that sat for a couple of years and was over-run with mice. They were up under the dash in places that are tough to get to. Is there anything that can fog the cab and get rid of the smell?

crazy ant control in rv

Tech Support — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:56:06 +0000

Hi,

We love your website and helpful article about ants. Very well done!! Our question is, we are using the gel and the bait traps that we actually purchased from a professional exterminator in our travels. We are moving almost daily and after about 1 week, we still are seeing ants. How long can we expect the traps and gel to take to kill all of these ants? Luckily our trip is short, but it is so frustrating that we have ants on board and it is making our trip so unpleasant. Again, thanks for your great website. RV Geek Travelers!!

how to stop animal chewing wires in attic

Tech Support — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:55:11 +0000

Hello, can you please tell me if Ropel would be a good product as a preventative to spray on attic wiring and insulation to prevent any animal (that might get in there) from chewing on anything? How long would Ropel last and how frequently would it have to be applied to attic (or basement) items?

how to treat boxelder bugs on house siding

I have been seeing a bunch of what I think are boxelder bugs on the back side of my house. I just took a photo of them from this morning. They hang out in groups and it looks like they're trying to get warm. They especially like being around my deck light and the door to my breakfast room. What do can I do to get them off my house?

crawl space musty odor

Tech Support — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:59:58 +0000

I live in south Florida and we recently had an extremely hard rain. Now, for the first time, there is a strong musty odor coming up from the crawl space through the floor. I was able to find an opening under the house and sprayed a product called Odor Ban which I bought from Home Depot. It did not eliminate all the odor and I can smell a residual smell from the product.
