Q: Why is a raccoon hanging around my house?

• <div><p>A raccoon may be hanging around your house for convenient access to food, water, or shelter. They may drink water out of puddles, pools, ponds, fountains, or your pet&rsquo;s water bowls. Raccoons are also known to eat just about anything, including food from gardens and waste from unsecured trash cans.</p></div>

Q: Will a wasp sting you if you stand still?

• <div><p>A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it&rsquo;s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away. </p></div>

Q: What other bugs can be mistaken for bed bugs?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve ruled out small cockroaches, some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bugs-that-look-like-bed-bugs.htm">bugs you might mistake for bed bugs</a> are carpet beetles, bat bugs, and booklice. However, they&rsquo;re usually found in different parts of the home. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-carpet-beetles.htm">Carpet beetles</a> are found in fabrics and carpets, bat bugs live in attics, and booklice dwell around books and damp areas.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell how many mice you have?

• <div><p>There is no exact science here, due to the nature of nests and how mice raise their young, but a good place to start is to inspect the droppings. A single mouse poops a lot, leaving around 50 droppings in a single day, likely near a primary food source. If you find only sporadic droppings, you likely have a small infestation. If you spot large mounds of droppings, you are dealing with a big problem.</p></div>

Q: What attracts mice?

• <div><p>Knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mouse-problems-check-your-yard-food-source.htm">what attracts mice to your house</a> can help you figure out how to eliminate them or prevent them from ever appearing. Mice visit your house for two main reason:</p><ol><li><p><b>Access to food or water</b>: Mice eat everything from grains and seeds to fruits and veggies. They&rsquo;re also thirsty critters that return to leaky faucets and pet bowls. </p></li><li><p><b>Access to shelter</b>: Mice flock to any place that&rsquo;s warm, hidden, and viable for shelter. That might be an insulated attic, a crack in the wall, or a cluttered indoor area.</p></li></ol><p></p></div>

"Calvin was who called me back and he said in order for them to come out and give me a service I would have to sign an agreement that I would continue with them for a year. When I asked what happens if I'm not happy with the job, Calvin said it would be no problem to discontinue. Well, I wan't happy with the job, though the tech that came out to service our home was very nice and professional. However, it did not take care of my pest problem so after 2 tries I cancelled. Now they are saying I have to pay a disconnect fee per the agreement. I told them what I was told and all they would say is "I apologize." Clearly this is a rehearsed line that they've told others. I would have to say that this is a dishonest company. Saying what it takes to get the job and then holding you responsible for their poor work. I am a bit cautious to say the least to go with Angies again if this is whom they are recommending."

"I’ve had Arrow for almost a year and have only seen a tech once. Yet I’m still being charged quarterly. I spoke with someone who assured me that a tech would come out on Friday and when I called back to make sure they were still coming I was informed that the appointment was moved back 2 more weeks. Meanwhile I find termites around the inside perimeter of my home and still nothing. I will be calling for a refund of all my funds. If I could give zero stars I would."
