Q: Does pouring bleach down the drain prevent roaches?

• <div><p>While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don&rsquo;t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.</p></div>

Q: What scent will keep wasps away?

• <div><p>Wasps dislike a great many essential oils, such as clove, geranium, and lemongrass. Combine a few drops of each in a cup and place this cup outside to repel wasps from your immediate surroundings. </p></div>

Q: What is the purpose of a wasp?

• <div><p>The purpose of a wasp is as a predator to maintain balance in ecosystems. Wasps prey on many insects, including other wasps, spiders, caterpillars, flies, beetles, and more. Without wasps, these insects may become overpopulated. Some wasps also help pollinate, which can be beneficial to your garden.</p></div>

Q: Does my home insurance cover an exterminator?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s very rare that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-insurance-pest-control.htm">home insurance covers an exterminator</a>. Pest problems aren&rsquo;t covered under standard home insurance. They&rsquo;re typically considered ongoing events that could have been prevented, which makes them ineligible. Some insurance companies will specifically ban termite and rodent services because costs can be high. However, a sudden and unstoppable infestation, especially one that resulted because of a sudden event like storm, may be covered. Call your insurance company and ask about the details if you aren&rsquo;t sure.</p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly termite control options?

• <div><p>Yes, integrated pest management uses less harmful methods and focuses on prevention.</p></div>
