Q: Do bug candles keep fruit flies away?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-candles-keep-flies-away.htm">whether bug candles can keep flies away</a>, the answer is yes (and this goes for fruit flies and many other types of flies. However, most bug candles contain citronella, which isn&rsquo;t suitable for indoor use. This is because the fumes are strong and can leave a strong scent on walls and objects.</p></div>

Q: Do mice become rats?

• <div><p>No, mice do not become rats. While their similarities may make them appear to be the same animal at first, they are distinct in their appearance, behaviors, and the strategies used to remove them. Juvenile rats that have not reached their full adult size may be roughly the same size as mice, making them hard to tell apart.</p></div>

Q: What causes water bugs in your house?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;re not likely to find water bugs in your house. They may accidentally come in an open door when flying, especially since they are attracted to lights. But water bugs tend to stay stationary in bodies of water. You&rsquo;re much more likely to see a roach in your home, not a water bug. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if a coyote comes toward me?

• <div><p>If a coyote approaches you, never run away, even if it goes against your natural instinct. Make yourself look big, shout loudly, and throw something in the coyote's direction. Be persistent and continue these scare tactics until they move away. Then, you should move away slowly, always facing the coyote.</p></div>
