Q: Do carpenter ants go away on their own?

• <div><p>Carpenter ants can go away on their own if their food source is eliminated, but this could take weeks or months. If you have an infestation on your hands, carpenter ants need to be treated by pesticides from a licensed professional in order to go away as soon as possible.</p></div>

Q: Where do phorid flies lay eggs in the house?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll find that phorid fly larvae breed in moist, decaying, organic matter. When trying to locate a breeding site, thoroughly inspect the following places in your home: drain pipes, trash cans, garbage disposal, pet waste, rotting produce, plants, compost bins, and even under appliances like the stove and refrigerator where moist food may have dropped. It&rsquo;s also possible for a breeding site to form inside of a wall, crawl space, or under your home&rsquo;s foundation.</p></div>

Q: What time of year are bees most likely to swarm?

• <div><p>Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: Do wasps come back after their nest is gone?

• <div><p>If there is food sources and other places to build a nest, wasps may come back after their nest is gone. However, if you take measures to repel wasps, like planting pest-repellent plants or sealing cracks and gaps around the outside of your home, they aren&rsquo;t likely to return. Be diligent at checking for new nests each spring to get rid of them as soon as possible and prevent bigger swarms of wasps in your yard.</p></div>

Q: How long do bed bugs last without treatment?

• <div><p>Bed bugs typically live between 10 months to one year, but they lay enough eggs that an infestation can continue to multiply and worsen without professional intervention. These pests can survive up to one year without eating, so you can&rsquo;t expect a bed bug infestation to resolve without proper treatment. </p></div>

"I was very pleased with the serviceman who came to my house. They were prompt, friendly and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. He was clean and went the extra steps to investigate my problem and make suggestions for how I could continue to prevent problems (showed me how the mice were entering the house and how to fill the hole). I am very pleased with the results! He even took care of pests that I didn't know I had. The elimination of spiders was a true bonus!"
