Q: Why should you not squish a roach?

• <div><p>You should not squish a roach because it can spread disease, attract more roaches, and release allergens. Roaches feed on the bodies of dead roaches, making more of them come. Squashing an individual roach only kills that one, whereas boric acid powder or baking soda can kill an entire population because it travels back to the nest before dying.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of gnats in the kitchen?

• <div><p>Always begin by removing the gnat's source of food. Toss rotting fruit, place new fruit in the fridge, and switch the soil of your houseplants. </p><p>The best way to get rid of gnats in the kitchen is by baiting and trapping them with something sweet. Combine water with a few drops of dish soap, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of sugar into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and poke small holes to trap the gnat in the liquid.</p></div>

Q: How fast can termites cause damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-termites.htm">Termites</a> can start causing damage within just a few weeks of settling in, and while the signs might not show up right away, they can hollow out drywall and structural wood within a few months. If left untreated for a year or more, the damage can be extensive and expensive.</p></div>

Q: Can lanternflies infest your house?

• <div><p>Not likely. While the occasional spotted lanternfly insect may find its way in, it&rsquo;s highly unlikely that spotted lanternflies will lay eggs and eventually infest your home because they prefer to live outdoors. If you&rsquo;re concerned about the bugs getting inside, be sure to examine all humans, objects, and pets before bringing them indoors. </p></div>

Q: What food is irresistible to mice?

• <div><p>As you know, mice adore peanut butter, but who doesn&rsquo;t? Beyond that sandwich staple, rodents are drawn to berries, grains, seeds, meat, and, yes, even cheese. They also eat pet food in a pinch and feast on plant materials, leftovers, and anything in the trash. In other words, mice aren&rsquo;t picky.</p></div>
