Q: Will a mother bird return to a disturbed nest?

• <div><p>In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it&rsquo;s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it&rsquo;s been disturbed, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.</p></div>

Q: Can you spray bug spray in air vents?

• <div><p>You should not spray pesticides of any kind into your air vents. The spray won&rsquo;t reach far into the vent, minimizing its effectiveness in killing roaches, but more importantly, it&rsquo;s dangerous for people and pets to inhale these chemicals. Roach spray is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-organic-roach-killer-options-are-available.htm">natural roach repellent</a>, and it&rsquo;s not safe to spray into air vents.</p></div>

Q: Are termite pest control services safe?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re apprehensive about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-pest-control-services-safe.htm">whether pest control services are safe</a> for dealing with a termite infestation, rest assured that they are, as long as you hire a licensed company following strict safety protocols. Before the process begins, you'll need to remove food, plants, and pets from the home to prevent chemical exposure. You&rsquo;ll also need to vacate your home for a couple of days while the treatment takes place and the chemicals dissipate. Re-entry is only safe once your pest control provider confirms that the home has been properly ventilated and cleared for return. </p></div>

Q: Will mothballs keep foxes away?

• <div><p>While foxes may find them unpleasant, mothballs are not an effective deterrent. Additionally, mothballs are toxic for humans and animals and should never be used outside. They contain naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene, which are very harmful to the environment. Use safer, more reliable deterrents, or hire a professional wildlife control expert.</p></div>

Q: Can chinch bugs fly?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, chinch bugs can fly. However you won&rsquo;t usually see them in flight. Chinch bugs like to stick close to the ground and they usually move around by hopping or crawling (which is why they can be hard to see). Since they don&rsquo;t get much chance at flying, they&rsquo;re pretty bad at it and only fly for short distances&mdash;like to nearby yards. </p></div>
