Q: What is the number one termite killer?

• <div><p>One of the most widespread chemicals used for killing termites is Fipronil. It&rsquo;s one of the most common insecticides used by termite exterminators to kill termites fast. However, it&rsquo;s toxic and generally used in outdoor areas only. Popular brand names of termite killers include Taurus, Bifen, Termidor, and BioAdvanced. All insecticides have pros and cons: Some are safer around humans but don&rsquo;t last as long. Some may kill nearby plants or have power odors. Some are designed for safe indoor bait stations but take much longer to work.</p></div>

Q: Why am I finding mouse droppings but not seeing any mice?

• <div><p>Finding mouse droppings without seeing any mice is a common sign of an infestation because mice are nocturnal and skilled at hiding from humans. Droppings are often the first and most visible evidence of their presence. The location, quantity, and freshness of the droppings can help you determine where the mice are most active and how severe the infestation might be. Since mice are active at night and often travel through hidden pathways like inside walls, you may not see them directly. It's important to look for other signs of an infestation, such as gnaw marks, scratching sounds, or greasy trails along walls. If you find droppings, consider setting traps or contacting a professional exterminator to address the issue.</p></div>

Q: Is just one cockroach a reason to worry?

• <div><p>Yes. German cockroaches are masters at hiding. If you notice one cockroach, especially in daytime hours, it&rsquo;s very likely that other roaches aren&rsquo;t far behind, or that the problem is growing. You don&rsquo;t even need to see roaches to have warning bells go off: Many homeowners discover roach problems by noticing specks of droppings on the floor or roach smells.</p></div>

Q: What methods are used by pros for termite control?

• <div><p>Chemical treatments, bait systems, and physical barriers are common approaches.</p></div>

Q: Are fleas or ticks faster?

• <div><p>Fleas are leaps and bounds ahead of ticks when jumping from person to person. The average flea can cover 1.9 meters per second. It can also jump over 50 times its own height. Fleas rely solely on their magnificent leaps to jump hosts. While ticks can crawl relatively quickly, their strategy is usually to sit and wait for a victim to &quot;hitchhike&quot; in tall grass.</p></div>
