Can animals in my attic get into my house?

• <div><p>As a general rule, if you hear an animal in your attic, don’t assume it will stay there. Animals are drawn to warmth and food sources, which could lead them to other parts of your house. In particular, it’s likely that small pests such as rats and mice that only need tiny gaps to squeeze through will end up in your walls and ductwork. Larger animals like raccoons may be limited to an enclosed attic.</p></div>

Q: Can an animal come down the chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it&rsquo;s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.</p></div>

Q: Do cockroaches bite humans?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s very uncommon for roaches to bite humans. Cockroaches don&rsquo;t need humans for food and prefer to be elsewhere than on a living being. They have no poison or powerful pincers to cause any significant damage. However, in very bad infestations cockroaches have been known to search humans for dead skin cells, which leads to them nibbling around feet, hands, and eyelashes. They don&rsquo;t cause any serious harm, but this is an easy way to spread the diseases cockroaches carry.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to get rid of termites?

• <div><p>The fastest way to get rid of termites is to apply a liquid insecticide exterior barrier around your home. If you have a severe infestation, this is your best option, and we recommend having a professional exterminator tackle this project.</p></div>

Q: Can I use pest-repellent plants along with other deterrents?

• <div><p>Yes, pest-repellent plants can be used along with other deterrents such as deer-resistant fencing. In fact, using multiple deterrents will usually get you better results.</p></div>
