Q: How long will fleas live in a house without pets?

• <div><p>Fleas can live up to <b>two weeks</b> without pets to feed on. However, they can also feed on rodents and people as an alternative if pets aren't present in the home. Adult fleas need a blood source to survive, but pupae can lay dormant for months in the right environment. </p></div>

Q: What attracts mice to your house?

• <div><p>Any food that&rsquo;s left out can potentially attract mice, but they especially like grains such as rice. Mice will also go after fruit, fatty foods like bacon, pasta, and cereal. Mice can also be attracted to garbage and compost bins if they&rsquo;re left uncovered. The best way to prevent mice from getting to these areas is to keep food in hard-sided containers and cover garbage bins.</p></div>

Q: Can ticks infest your bed?

• <div><p>No; ticks rarely infest buildings. They prefer to stay outdoors waiting for a potential host to pass by. However, while ticks do not infest beds, they can get indoors by attaching themselves to pets, clothing, or outdoor gear. A live tick may survive in your bed for around 24 hours, but it certainly won&rsquo;t breed or start an infestation.</p></div>

Q: Can an animal get out of a chimney on its own?

• <div><p>Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you&rsquo;ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them. </p></div>
