Q: How long do stink bugs live?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-do-stink-bugs-live.htm">average lifespan of a stink bug</a> is about <b>six to eight months</b>, depending on species and environmental conditions. Their life cycle includes three stages: Egg, nymph, and adult. Eggs hatch in roughly five days to two weeks, followed by a four to six-week nymph stage where they grow and molt. Once fully matured, adult stink bugs focus on reproduction and can fly to new areas, often seeking refuge in homes in search of warmth. </p></div>

Q: Does apple cider vinegar repel mice?

• <div><p>There's anecdotal evidence that apple cider vinegar does help to repel mice. But the best way to repel mice is to keep your home scrupulously clean and seal up any obvious entry points. If you already have a mouse infestation, apple cider vinegar won&rsquo;t get rid of the critters. It&rsquo;s usually worth the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">cost of professional pest control</a> to make sure a serious mouse problem is eradicated completely.</p></div>

Q: Why are there suddenly bugs in my house?

• <div><p>Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.</p></div>

Q: Where are roof rats typically found?

• <div><p>Roof rats get their name because they&rsquo;re most often found in attics or the area around the attic. They often use tree limbs that hang over a roof to get into a home&rsquo;s attic and look for shelter. Once inside, they not only like the attic space but can also burrow themselves into soffits or small holes in the ceiling and build their nest.</p></div>

Q: Are skunks hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Luckily, skunks aren&rsquo;t challenging to get rid of. You can try to remove them slowly by filling their den entryway loosely with newspaper. Many skunks notice their den is in jeopardy and take off on their own. You can also try making a homemade spray of jalapeno pepper, yellow onion, and cayenne pepper&mdash;believe it or not, skunks are sensitive to these smells, so if you spray this around the den or in hard-to-reach places around your property, most skunks will take the hint and leave. </p></div>
