Q: Do cockroaches come out more after you spray?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s actually common to see more cockroaches after you spray. It might seem like things are getting worse, but that&rsquo;s usually a sign the treatment is working. Roach sprays and baits can flush them out of their hiding spots as they try to escape the chemicals. You might notice them acting strangely&mdash;slower, twitching, or out during the day when they&rsquo;re usually hiding.</p></div>

Q: Can you remove a wasp nest yourself?

• <div><p>You can remove a wasp nest yourself, but it isn&rsquo;t a good idea. Although it looks easy enough to hit down a nest with a broom, wasps may be inside or around the nest and are known for getting aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you follow our guidelines for removing wasps nests with pesticide spray, insecticidal dust, water and dish soap, or boiling water, you may be able to safely tackle the problem.</p></div>

Q: Do essential oils get rid of cockroaches?

• <div><p>Some believe that essential oils, like peppermint, may work the way that roach-repellent foods do: the roaches do not like the smell that the oil is producing and so they stay away. While essential oils can deter roaches from surfaces, they do not fight an infestation. Use essential oils as a prevention method, not a removal method. </p></div>

Q: What smells attract roaches?

• <div><p>Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.</p></div>

Q: Can carpet beetles be in your bed?

• <div><p>Carpet beetles don&rsquo;t seek shelter in mattresses like bed bugs do, but there still may be sources of food, like the fabric of your sheets and blankets, that attract carpet beetles. Because these pests munch on plant-based materials, you could still find one in your bed as it&rsquo;s searching for food.</p></div>
