Q: Can cockroaches damage appliances?

• <div><p>While cockroaches can contaminate appliances and their contents, they won't cause damage. Cockroaches can spread bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, making it important to keep them out of places where food is stored, such as a refrigerator. When it comes to electronics, however, cockroaches could potentially damage internal electrical components. As the pests navigate inside a TV or console, they may touch high-voltage components that could short out your product. This damage could lead to costly repairs or require replacements.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if termites are gone after treatment?

• <div><p>First, you&rsquo;ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you&rsquo;ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don&rsquo;t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to use preventative methods than exterminating a flea infestation?

• <div><p>Absolutely! Keeping up to date with regular flea treatments for pets, washing their bedding, and vacuuming regularly are all simple and inexpensive ways to help prevent a flea infestation from developing in the first place. </p><p>Annual flea control treatments for your pet typically cost between <b>$40 and $200</b>. Talk to your vet about safe and effective options.</p><p>Keeping up with garden maintenance also helps make your yard less inviting for fleas. Mow your lawn regularly, don&rsquo;t overwater, and avoid attracting rodents by carefully storing food waste, removing clutter, and sealing holes.</p></div>

Q: How can I keep bats out of my house?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro. </p><ul><li><p><b>Seal entry points</b>, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.</p></li><li><p><b>Use bat deterrents</b> like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home. </p></li><li><p><b>Reduce bat attractions</b> like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>
