Q: Does flying ants mean you have termites?

• <div><p>Not necessarily. If you see a swarm of flying insects, it could be flying ants or termites, but not always both. However, since these winged pests are attracted to moist and rotting wood, there&rsquo;s a chance that both species are present at the same time.</p></div>

Q: Why choose professional pest control over DIY solutions?

• <div><p>Pros offer targeted treatments that are more effective and long-lasting, using specialized equipment and knowledge.</p></div>

Q: What attracts scorpions?

• <div><p>Scorpions can be drawn to your home for a number of reasons, and it depends on the type of scorpion you&rsquo;re finding. Often, scorpions check out moist areas that attract their prey, including insects like cockroaches, crickets, and moths. If you&rsquo;re looking for scorpion hotbeds in your home, start with cold and damp places like crawl spaces, attics, or behind appliances. </p></div>

Q: Are roaches less likely in second stories of homes?

• <div><p>Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.</p></div>

Q: Are bed bug sprays safe?

• <div><p>While they can be effective at getting rid of bed bugs, there are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bed-bug-infestation-risks-pesticides-and-insecticides.htm">risks of using bed bug pesticides</a> if they&rsquo;re not applied properly. The EPA only approves products that meet safety standards, but misuse, such as applying spray to skin, using outdoor products indoors, or overusing products, can pose serious health risks. Always read and follow label instructions carefully. For the safest and most effective results, it&rsquo;s best to hire a licensed pest control professional.</p></div>

Illinois gutter pros installed seamless black gutters on our newly remodeled home. They were quick and efficient and got the job done well. The gutters have saved our basement from flooding in these heavy rains in July. I would recommend them to anyone looking for gutter repair or installation.
