Q: What is the best homemade raccoon repellent?

• <div><p>Homemade raccoon repellents can be a cost-effective and humane method for keeping raccoons off your property.

Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.</p></div>

Q: How do pros prevent future termite problems?

Q: Where do fleas like to hide in the bed?

• <div><p>Like many pests, fleas hide in dark, sheltered areas, including in the bed. They will seek out crevices in a mattress, so they have easy access to their hosts (you and your pets) as well as somewhere that is warm and hidden. You may also find fleas hiding in carpeting and other furniture.</p></div>

Q: What attracts spiders to your bed?

• <div><p>Spiders are not typically attracted to bedding as a primary source of food or shelter, but they sometimes inadvertently end up there. Spiders can hitch a ride on your clothing, belongings, or through open windows and doors. The underside of a bed, especially if it's near a wall or corner, can provide such a sheltered spot where they can hide and build webs. Dust and clutter under your bed can create ideal hiding places as well. If your room has other insects like flies or mosquitoes, spiders may be drawn to the area in search of prey. </p></div>

Q: Why do phorid flies keep coming back?

• <div><p>Even with professional pest control and taking your own drastic measures to eliminate a phorid fly infestation, it can be difficult to get rid of these pests for good. If you find that phorid flies keep appearing in your home, it&rsquo;s very likely that you have a persistent source of moisture such as a drain leak or a cracked sewer. Another culprit could be a decaying animal carcass in your home&rsquo;s foundations.</p></div>
