Q: Can rats come up through the toilet?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s an age-old and terrifying question: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/yes-rats-can-come-through-your-toilet.htm">Can rats come through the toilet</a>? The answer, unfortunately, is yes; however, it&rsquo;s extremely rare. In the very unlikely case that this happens, it&rsquo;s usually the result of rats from the sewer making their way into home plumbing pipes and up into the toilet. </p></div>

Q: Do wasps sting unprovoked?

• <div><p>No, wasps only attack when they feel threatened. A sting may seem unprovoked to us, but we likely got too close to a nest. Threatened wasps do, however, send out a strong pheromone that instantly attracts any other wasps in the area. </p></div>

Q: What could cause a sudden gnat infestation?

• <div><p>There are several possible reasons for a gnat infestation, and they vary based on the type of insect. One common reason is overwatering houseplants, which can create a moist environment that is attractive to fungus gnats. Another reason is leaving fruit out on the counter for too long, which can attract fruit flies. Drain flies are typically attracted by standing water and bacteria that are often the result of buildup or a clog in your drain or sewer line.</p></div>

Q: What time of day are snakes most active?

• <div><p>The time of day that most snakes are active is at night. This is when they prefer to hunt since they can do so under the cover of darkness, out of sight of predators and the prey they stalk. However, some snake species prefer very hot temperatures and are strictly active during the day.</p></div>

Q: How fast do roaches multiply?

• <div><p>Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.</p></div>
