Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Preventatives include frequent washing of pet bedding, regular vacuuming, flea-preventative applications, and avoiding infested areas.

No, you don’t necessarily need a flea bomb in every room of your home, but that largely depends on the level of infestation you have. A single fogger can likely treat most of your space, unless you have a lot of square footage to cover. However, you may need to use one or more per room depending on your needs, which an exterminator can likely determine. 

A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it’s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away.

For a minor infestation, you can expect to clear up a German cockroach problem in about two weeks. That’s usually enough time to confirm that they don’t have additional hiding spots and aren’t continuing to encroach from an outside source. If you have a major infestation and use the services of a pest control company, it can take several weeks and multiple visits to fully clear your home, up to a couple of months.

Bed bugs typically will not go away on their own. If there are no humans or animals around, they will need to leave to find a host for feeding. But otherwise, bed bugs can live for several months to a year, and the adult females can lay hundreds more eggs in their lifetime. An infestation is only likely to get worse without hiring an exterminator.
