Will bees go away on their own?

• <div><p>In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.</p></div>

Q: Can bugs in wood furniture spread to other areas of my home?

• <div><p>Termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles can move from wood furniture to other areas of your home. If you notice signs of bugs in wood furniture, it's best to remove and isolate it for treatment. Remember that it can be difficult to identify which type of pest you are dealing with, and they can already be in areas of your home.</p><p>If DIY methods don&rsquo;t work or you don&rsquo;t know which pest it is you should contact an exterminator if you are showing signs of wood-eating pests to prevent further damage.</p></div>

Q: Where do spiders lay eggs?

• <div><p>Spiders love dark, quiet, and protected places, especially when it comes to laying their eggs. Egg sacs are hidden in small webs that you may find in rarely-used wall corners and ceilings. Spiders are somewhat more likely to lay egg sacs against a house or inside a home to preserve them from the elements. These egg sacs are very durable and can hatch in anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.</p></div>

Q: What shouldn’t you do when trying to get rid of squirrels?

• <div><p>Unlike for rats and mice, poisonous baits and fumigants aren&rsquo;t a legal option for dealing with squirrel invasions. So, don&rsquo;t set any traps up using standard rodenticides. Remember that you typically need a permit for trapping and relocating squirrels found on your property. Some states even specify the types of traps you need to use.</p></div>

Q: Are yellow jackets a wasp or hornet?

• <div><p>Yellow jackets are a type of wasp in the Vespula and Dolichovespula genera. Hornets are another type of wasp in the Vespa genus. Hornets and yellow jackets are closely related and are both known for being large and aggressive. They are often confused with one another, too. For example, the bald-faced hornet is actually a yellow jacket, and the European hornet, a true hornet, looks much like a yellow jacket. </p></div>
