Q: Are bed bug sprays safe?

• <div><p>While they can be effective at getting rid of bed bugs, there are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bed-bug-infestation-risks-pesticides-and-insecticides.htm">risks of using bed bug pesticides</a> if they&rsquo;re not applied properly. The EPA only approves products that meet safety standards, but misuse, such as applying spray to skin, using outdoor products indoors, or overusing products, can pose serious health risks. Always read and follow label instructions carefully. For the safest and most effective results, it&rsquo;s best to hire a licensed pest control professional.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I’m attacked by a swarm of wasps?

• <div><p>Stay calm and avoid acting like a threat. Avoid swatting at the wasps or yelling, which will agitate wasps and make them more likely to attack. Instead, move away at a slow, steady pace in one direction, getting as much distance between you and the wasps as possible. </p><p>Wasps swarm to protect their nest, so moving far away indicates you are not a threat and they should subside. Do not try to handle a wasp nest filled with agitated wasps. Wait until they call down before you take action, or trust in a professional.</p></div>

Q: Do cockroaches come out more after you spray?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s actually common to see more cockroaches after you spray. It might seem like things are getting worse, but that&rsquo;s usually a sign the treatment is working. Roach sprays and baits can flush them out of their hiding spots as they try to escape the chemicals. You might notice them acting strangely&mdash;slower, twitching, or out during the day when they&rsquo;re usually hiding.</p></div>

Q: Can lanternflies infest your house?

• <div><p>Not likely. While the occasional spotted lanternfly insect may find its way in, it&rsquo;s highly unlikely that spotted lanternflies will lay eggs and eventually infest your home because they prefer to live outdoors. If you&rsquo;re concerned about the bugs getting inside, be sure to examine all humans, objects, and pets before bringing them indoors. </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>
