Q: What makes skunks so smelly?

• <div><p>Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk&rsquo;s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren&rsquo;t enough to wash it away.</p><p>If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don&rsquo;t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it&rsquo;s time to make a careful retreat.</p></div>

Q: Do stink bugs play dead?

• <div><p>Yes, stink bugs can play dead. Stink bugs don&rsquo;t just release bad odors, they have a defense mechanism to pretend to be dead, even when flicked over and swept into a trash bin. That&rsquo;s how stink bugs may keep coming back even if you thought you got rid of them. </p></div>

Q: Why is my house covered in lanternflies?

• <div><p>While the spotted lanternfly&rsquo;s favorite place to stay is the trees and plants they gorge on, they can occasionally congregate in large numbers on buildings and other structures. This may be for height, warmth, or other unknown reasons. However, rest assured that the insects do not do any structural damage to the buildings, and will likely move on within a few weeks or perish with the colder weather.</p></div>

Q: Will silverfish crawl on me in my sleep?

• <div><p>Silverfish can crawl on you in your sleep. They enjoy consuming dandruff and will crawl on your scalp for nourishment. They can also find their way to your hairbrushes and anywhere you&rsquo;ve shed dandruff. It&rsquo;s important to keep pillowcases, sheets and brushes clean to avoid making your bed hospitable for unwanted guests.</p></div>

Q: How to heat up a room to kill bed bugs?

• <div><p>To heat up a room to kill bed bugs, you&rsquo;ll need to put either a portable heat chamber or hot dryer in the space. Larger heat chambers can be used to heat up furniture, while only professional heating systems can heat an entire home or structure at a high enough temperature to kill bed bugs. Keep in mind that this method is most effective when done by a bed bug professional with professional-grade equipment to eradicate the bed bugs without damaging your home.</p></div>
