Q: What to spray to keep spiders away?

You should consult with an expert exterminator to find out what works best to repel the spiders living in and around your home.</p></div>

Q: Can animals in my attic get into my house?

• <div><p>As a general rule, if you hear an animal in your attic, don&rsquo;t assume it will stay there. Animals are drawn to warmth and food sources, which could lead them to other parts of your house. In particular, it&rsquo;s likely that small pests such as rats and mice that only need tiny gaps to squeeze through will end up in your walls and ductwork. Larger animals like raccoons may be limited to an enclosed attic.</p></div>
