Do I need to wash my sheets and clothes after pest control?

• <div><p>Yes, you should wash your sheets and clothes immediately after receiving a pest control service. If your pest pro sprayed chemicals inside your home, it’s important to remove any lingering residue from your washable items. Consult your pest control pro for a list of post-treatment steps to follow.</p></div>

What happens to a roach when you spray it?

• <div><p>When you spray a roach, the chemicals, usually a mix of neurotoxins like pyrethroids or pyrethrins, start affecting its nervous system almost immediately. It disrupts the roach’s nerve signals, causing paralysis and eventually death. You'll often see the roach twitch, flip over on its back, and stop moving within seconds to minutes.</p></div>

Q: Are bug bombs safe to use?

• <div><p>Consumer-brand foggers or bug bombs are considered safe overall. Still, it's essential to read the instructions carefully as the vacating time varies depending on the type of bug bomb you use. Most of the time, it's advised that all humans and pets are out of the area for at least two to four hours after initiating the fogger process. It's also a good idea to vent the space by cracking open some windows for several hours after you're back inside.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

• <div><p>Red bite marks, blood spots on sheets, and small brown fecal stains near sleeping areas are common signs.</p></div>

Q: What kills mosquitoes naturally?

• <div><p>Naturally occurring EPA-registered Bti products are an effective way to kill off mosquitoes at the larval stage. And, although they won&rsquo;t wipe them out, there are lots of natural repellents that make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes. Try planting some marigolds, lemon thyme, or other plants they&rsquo;ll steer clear of, light a citronella candle or two, or lay some bug-offensive cedar mulch.</p></div>
