Q: Can I use bleach to kill fruit flies?

• <div><p>You can use bleach to kill fruit flies, but it's not the best option because bleach can be toxic to people when used on surfaces. It also isn't as effective as killing flies in drains, as it passes through the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.</p></div>

Q: What drives away bed bugs?

• <div><p>Some natural applications are known to make bed bugs unhappy, like peppermint and tea tree oil. But bed bugs are tenacious and as long as there are sleeping humans around to feed on, they&rsquo;ll stick around. It&rsquo;s best to destroy them outright by using heat, steam, or fumigation methods.</p></div>

Q: What food is irresistible to mice?

• <div><p>As you know, mice adore peanut butter, but who doesn&rsquo;t? Beyond that sandwich staple, rodents are drawn to berries, grains, seeds, meat, and, yes, even cheese. They also eat pet food in a pinch and feast on plant materials, leftovers, and anything in the trash. In other words, mice aren&rsquo;t picky.</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: Does vinegar destroy spider webs?

• <div><p>While vinegar doesn&rsquo;t get rid of spider webs that already exist, spraying a mixture of vinegar and water in areas where you&rsquo;ve found webs before will deter spiders from rebuilding there. The acetic acid within vinegar can harm and kill spiders, so they&rsquo;ll want to stay as far away from this strong-smelling substance as they can get. </p></div>
