Q: How long does it take to get rid of fleas in your house?

• <div><p>Cleaning your home after discovering fleas is an all-day job, but this may not be the last you see of them. Some fleas are resistant to initial treatments and may lay eggs that will hatch after your first pass. Continue with treatments for one to two months to fully eradicate them. </p></div>

Q: Do carpenter ants eat wood?

• <div><p>Carpenter ants don&rsquo;t eat wood. It&rsquo;s a common misconception because many kinds of termites eat wood as well as live inside it. Carpenter ants, however, are omnivores and only chew into wood to create pathways and nests, discarding the chewed wood as frass which is a major indicator of a carpenter ant problem. They prefer to eat smaller insects, sweet things like spilled honey, and sources of protein like pet food.</p></div>

Q: What attracts woodpeckers?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.</p></div>

Q: Where around my home am I most likely to find nesting birds?

• <div><p>Popular nesting areas outside of a home include eaves, porches, gutters, and chimneys. However, some birds can make their way into your attic or ventilation systems. A reputable removal service will inspect your home's interior and exterior for any evidence of roosting and nesting birds while they prepare to remove them.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire an exterminator or pest control service?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">cost to hire an exterminator</a> or pest control service is <b>$175 </b>on average, ranging from <b>$50 to $500</b>, depending on the type of animal or insect and size of the infestation.
