Homeowner Forum / Pest Control / September 2006

I recentley bought a house in a rural area of Northern NJ. The house is
constructed with a very low crawl space (approximatley 1' in some
areas).  For the most part the crawl space is inaccesable except for
someone on their stomach.

Is there a way to repel rats from inside your ceiling space? I have
heard that possums dislike naphthalene and camphor. Is there anything
that rats dislike? I am definitely not putting rat poison in the
ceiling, so the little critters die in some hard-to-reach wall cavity,

Now that it's getting a bit colder at night (georgia), we are hearing a
lot
of noises coming from the roof and sometimes in the attic.
Last year, we had the same problem, but when looking at the attic

Ok, found in a pet store.  Probably brought in with dog food... maybe

We discovered carpenter ants in an outside wall in the bathroom. They are
getting into the house through an opening above the bathroom window that
was never sealed when the window was installed (before we bought the
house).

Just had the back part of the house reroofed (located in Southern
California). It's a 400sq/ft addition added in the 50's. Removed the old
roofing, fascia, and soffits. Roof consists of redwood or pine 4x4's every
sixteen inches covered by cedar 10 inch wide tongue and groove ...

I live in Southern CA and find multiple small holes in my clothes;
mostly woolen, but occasionally other fabrics.  The closet has
sea-grass carpeting and is partly cedar lined, but you would never know
it by the smell.  I think it's silverfish, but even with Dekko "cards"

I used a clear plastic water bottle about 1 quart size.
Cut off the bottom.
Wired a Bell Labs Ditrac bait and pulled the wire through a hole in the

How can I decrease the squirrel population in my back yard?    I have an
inground pool.  The trees shading the pool are predominently pine trees.  The
pool is 35 years old and I have never had this problem before.  The squirrels
are eating the pine cones and dropping the remainder, ...

Got a family of chipmunks digging holes and living in the flowerbed at the
front of the house.  There're cute as anything, but I don't want them

I've heard the coyote or fox urine spread around there home ...
