This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.</p></div>

Q: What smell keeps armadillos away?

• <div><p>Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.</p><p>Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it&rsquo;s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they&rsquo;re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.</p></div>

Q: What scent drives rodents away?

• <div><p>The best way to deal with a rodent problem is to avoid it in the first place. One way to do that is to make your home smell uninviting to them.

When using oils, try soaking a cotton ball in the stuff and leaving it in places rodents frequent:</p><ul><li><p>Peppermint oil</p></li><li><p>Eucalyptus oil</p></li><li><p>Cinnamon</p></li><li><p>Vinegar</p></li><li><p>Cedarwood </p></li><li><p>Cloves</p></li><li><p>Garlic</p></li><li><p>Chili oil/powder</p></li><li><p>Cayenne pepper</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why are there suddenly bugs in my house?

• <div><p>Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.</p></div>

Q: What diseases can raccoons spread?

• <div><p>Raccoons can spread viruses and bacteria to humans and pets, including rabies, canine and feline distemper, parvovirus, Salmonella, and leptospirosis. These can all cause a range of illnesses.</p></div>
