Q: What time of day are bed bugs most active?

• <div><p>Bed bugs are most active when we are most inactive, typically from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. They are cunning, and adjust their schedules according to their victims. If you work at night, for instance, your bed bugs will flip the script.</p></div>

Q: What if my stump is infested with insects?

• <div><p>If your stump has a pest problem, don&rsquo;t worry; it won&rsquo;t slow down the stump grinding process. It might even speed it up. But you may want to contact pest control afterward if it looks like a spreading infestation. </p></div>
