Do bats in the attic cause damage?

• <div><p>Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.</p></div>

Q: How often do voles breed?

• <div><p>Voles are pretty prolific breeders, managing to squeeze in 5 to 10 litters a year, and each litter usually has around 3 to 5 little ones. These furry creatures are flexible with their love lives, as they can breed all year round, though spring and summer are their prime times. If they're living it up in warmer areas, voles don't take a break and keep reproducing non-stop.</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: How long do bed bugs last without treatment?

• <div><p>Bed bugs typically live between 10 months to one year, but they lay enough eggs that an infestation can continue to multiply and worsen without professional intervention. These pests can survive up to one year without eating, so you can&rsquo;t expect a bed bug infestation to resolve without proper treatment. </p></div>

Q: Can you permanently get rid of German cockroaches?

• <div><p>While difficult, it&rsquo;s possible to get rid of German cockroaches permanently. This type of roach removal takes long-term work, including sealing your home properly and fixing any moisture problems. It may also require new habits for cleaning and food storage. For worse infestations, a pest control professional can help you find ways to get rid of cockroaches for good.</p></div>

They wanted to diagnose the problem before making recommendations. Other companies come in already saying you should have your crawl space sealed for $6-10,000 without knowing if the problem is in the crawl or not.
