Q: Why are there suddenly bugs in my house?

• <div><p>Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.</p></div>

Q: Will termites always come back?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s indeed no guarantee termites won&rsquo;t return to your home, even after top-notch professional treatment. In areas where these hardy pests are prevalent, it can be tricky to banish them for good.</p><p>However, maintaining preventative measures, keeping a close eye out for early signs, and purchasing an ongoing professional treatment management plan can ensure you keep termites at bay and reduce the chance of any damage. Professional whole-house <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-termite-treatments-last.htm">termite treatments can last</a> five years or more.</p></div>

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. Raccoons despise the smell of vinegar, so keeping a bowl of it near your home can keep them away. Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.</p></div>

Q: What kills bed bugs instantly?

• <div><p>If you are looking for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-kills-bed-bugs-instantly.htm">ways to kill bed bugs instantly</a>, heat is the most effective instant killer. Exposing bed bugs to temperatures above <b>131 degrees Fahrenheit</b> for over an hour can eliminate them. Steam cleaners and dryers on high heat work well for this method. Other options that may kill bed bugs instantly include bleach, disinfectant sprays with alcohol, diatomaceous earth, and hydrogen peroxide.</p><p>However, note that many DIY treatments won&rsquo;t reach bugs hidden in cracks or behind walls. For severe infestations, it&rsquo;s best to call a licensed exterminator for professional heat or chemical treatment.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to get rid of roaches in the kitchen?

• <div><p>It takes a few weeks to get rid of roaches in the kitchen for a small infestation, as the cockroaches will need to take the bait back to their nest to infect the others. For larger infestation, you may need to schedule multiple professional treatments, which could take several weeks or up to 6 months to get rid of the roaches fully.</p></div>

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."
