Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Without treatment, it’s unlikely that fleas will go away on their own. These pests can lay dozens of eggs per day, so their numbers can multiply quickly. Even without a host (like a pet, wild animal, or human) to feed on, fleas can survive for weeks. That’s why it’s best to tackle a flea problem as soon as possible.

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.

If it seems like many flies appeared in your yard overnight, don’t be concerned. A single fly can lay over 200 eggs per day, so having one in your yard could lead to dozens more the next day. That’s why it’s important to eliminate flies from outside your home before they take up residence.

Fortunately, many strong natural scents can help deter roaches, thanks to their keen sense of smell. Roaches tend to avoid potent aromas, such as crushed bay leaves, citrus peels, eucalyptus, and peppermint, as they associate these smells with danger. Sprinkling garlic powder, placing mint or lavender plants, or using essential oils like citronella, clove, or tea tree can create an unwelcoming environment for them. These scents don't kill roaches, but they can help keep them from settling in your home when used consistently in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or entry points.

Unlike termites, flying ants won’t cause structural damage to your home. Plus, they won’t sting or bite you. However, they are a nuisance and unsanitary to keep in your home, so it’s best to hire a pest control company to remove the flying ants from your house.
