Q: How do I prevent rats and mice from getting into the attic?

• <div><p>Preventing rats and mice from getting into the attic can be challenging, but it&rsquo;s not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to keep them looking elsewhere for a new place to call home:</p><ul><li><p>Block or cover any potential access holes</p></li><li><p>Keep piles or stacks of firewood or other materials away from the house</p></li><li><p>Seal food and garbage in containers to prevent rodents from chewing through or getting in</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I keep roaches away at night?

• <div><p>Aside from incorporating smells that roaches hate in your bedroom, such as citronella, lemongrass, or clove oil, there are a few ways you can keep roaches away at night. First, try moving your bed away from the wall, as roaches will often climb the walls and onto your bed. If you&rsquo;re still having trouble, you can also purchase a mosquito tent for your bed, or hang netting from the ceiling to surround your sleeping area. Make sure it isn&rsquo;t touching the ground, though, as they may attempt to climb it. </p></div>

Q: What are the best ways to prevent a bird from returning to the nest site?

• <div><p>Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. </p><p>Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.</p></div>

Q: What is the hardest ant to get rid of?

• <div><p>The hardest ant to get rid of is the pharaoh ant. Although small, pharaoh ants can spread infections in hospitals and are known to transmit infectious diseases in schools, apartment complexes, and office buildings. For this reason, they&rsquo;re best handled by pest control professionals.</p></div>

Q: Why do phorid flies keep coming back?

• <div><p>Even with professional pest control and taking your own drastic measures to eliminate a phorid fly infestation, it can be difficult to get rid of these pests for good. If you find that phorid flies keep appearing in your home, it&rsquo;s very likely that you have a persistent source of moisture such as a drain leak or a cracked sewer. Another culprit could be a decaying animal carcass in your home&rsquo;s foundations.</p></div>
