Are squirrels active at night in attics?

• <div><p>While you may be hearing squirrels running around your attic at night, these animals are usually more active during the day. If you hear scratching sounds in your attic at night, it’s mostly likely a mouse, raccoon, or bat. Investigate your roof, attic, and other entrances to your home to find signs that indicate the presence of squirrels or other pests.</p></div>

Will a mother bird return to a disturbed nest?

• <div><p>In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it’s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it’s been disturbed, it’s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.</p></div>

Q: What smells drive away cockroaches?

• <div><p>Many scents are claimed to be roach deterrents and in some cases roaches will try to avoid them. That includes peppermint, eucalyptus, and citronella. But these scents aren&rsquo;t much use for driving cockroaches away entirely -- roaches can live in horrible conditions and a few smells they don&rsquo;t like won&rsquo;t make them give up. Also, sprays made using these scents be irritating to your pet&rsquo;s delicate nose. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to turn to the remedies we listed above. </p></div>

Q: How long does bed bug treatment take?

• <div><p>Most treatments take 3-8 hours, with follow-up visits recommended within two weeks to ensure complete elimination.</p></div>

Q: What causes termites?

• <div><p>Moisture issues caused by leaky pipes, improper drainage, and poor airflow create environments that are ideal for termites to thrive in. Dampwood termites prefer water-damaged wood while subterranean termites require moist environments to survive. Climate can have an impact as well, with termites preferring to live in warm and humid climates with mild temperatures year-round. However, termites are present in every state in the United States, with the exception of Alaska.</p></div>
