Q: How long can fleas live in a carpet?

• <div><p>On average, fleas can leave for about 2 to 3 months in your carpet. However, if they have access to a host for feeding, they can return to the cozy carpet and live much longer. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s essential to remove fleas from your carpet quickly before they take up permanent residence. </p></div>

Q: Are mushrooms dangerous for pets?

• <div><p>As with anything ingested by animals, there is always a chance that mushrooms will be toxic. Clearing the tops of mushrooms from the soil to prevent them from being eaten by pets is always a good idea. Since poisonous mushrooms can be deadly, we recommended that any mushroom ingestion is treated as a veterinary emergency. Watch for signs of lethargy and digestive distress in any animal suspected to have eaten a mushroom and contact your vet immediately.</p></div>

Q: Are gnats and fruit flies the same?

• <div><p>The term &ldquo;gnat&rdquo; is sometimes used as a blanket term to refer to both fruit flies and fungus gnats, as well as a variety of other tiny flying insects. However, the true one true &ldquo;gnat&rdquo; by name is the fungus gnat. While people may mistakenly lump both insects under the term &quot;gnat,&quot; fungus gnats and fruit flies have different diets, habitats, and characteristics from each other, as well as the other small flying insects in the &ldquo;gnat&rdquo; category.</p></div>

Q: What happens if squirrels get in your attic?

• <div><p>If squirrels set up a home in your attic, they can cause considerable damage. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for them to chew holes in your roof, siding, or joists, and they can eat through electrical wiring. They might also travel to other parts of your home or into your wall cavities. Not to mention all that bacteria-filled feces and urine they spread around. </p></div>

Q: What keeps termites away?

• <div><p>Natural methods such as spraying orange oil, spreading diatomaceous earth, or spreading boric acid can help prevent termites from entering your home or damaging your garden. Place these solutions near termite entry points to deter them. Termites also dislike the smell of cedarwood, geranium, and tea tree oil, which can all be used to keep termites away.</p></div>
