Q: What attracts bats to your yard?

• <div><p>Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs&mdash;their main food source&mdash;will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common. </p></div>

Q: Can I handle pest control myself?

• <div><p>DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.</p></div>

Q: Why are wasps so aggressive?

• <div><p>Wasps are aggressive to protect their nests. Although they are deemed aggressive, they only act that way when they feel their nests are threatened. They can also act aggressive when there is a lack of food available. Most wasps will leave you alone if you stay clear of their nests.</p></div>

Q: How do I permanently get rid of skunks?

• <div><p>The best way to permanently get rid of skunks is by setting up deterrents around your property to keep skunks out. Get rid of skunks permanently by:</p><ul><li><p>Not leaving food or water outside</p></li><li><p>Installing a motion-sensor sprinkler system</p></li><li><p>Installing fencing that&rsquo;s at least 3 feet high and a foot deep</p></li><li><p>Adding motion-sensor lights in the yard</p></li><li><p>Cleaning up brush, sticks, woodpiles, and leaves on your property so skunks can&rsquo;t use the materials for a nest</p></li><li><p>Seal up cracks and holes around your property to prevent skunks from building a den</p></li><li><p>Placing fresh lemon peels around the perimeter of your home</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you starve bed bugs to death?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can&rsquo;t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it&rsquo;s not a first choice for homeowners.</p></div>
