Q: Are squirrels hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Like many other rodents, squirrels can be a little difficult to get rid of (especially in the case of an infestation), but the best approach is to make the place as unattractive to squirrels as possible. If you do have an infestation inside your home, then professional help may be necessary so you can lay as many traps as possible. </p></div>

Q: Can you remove a wasp nest yourself?

• <div><p>You can remove a wasp nest yourself, but it isn&rsquo;t a good idea. Although it looks easy enough to hit down a nest with a broom, wasps may be inside or around the nest and are known for getting aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you follow our guidelines for removing wasps nests with pesticide spray, insecticidal dust, water and dish soap, or boiling water, you may be able to safely tackle the problem.</p></div>

Q: What time of year are bees most likely to swarm?

• <div><p>Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: Can humans carry fleas?

• <div><p>Yes, humans carry fleas. Although fleas are primarily associated with dogs and cats, they are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide of mammals, including humans. The difference is that most fleas will only choose animals as their hosts. They may bite humans, but they don&rsquo;t tend to stick around on humans for long. The one exception is the<i> Pulex irritans</i>, also called the human flea, which prefers human blood.</p></div>

Q: When is prime mosquito season?

• <div><p>Prime mosquito season varies depending on your location. It&rsquo;s longer in the sweltering southern states and shorter in the cooler, drier northern regions. In places like Florida, it can run from February to November, but in the Pacific Northwest, mosquitoes appear in April and can hang around until the end of October. While the hottest summer months are when they are at peak population, mosquito seasons are extending in many regions because of the increase in annual temperatures. </p></div>
