Q: What time of year is best for pest control?

• <div><p>Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don&rsquo;t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.</p></div>

Q: Should I be worried if I find a scorpion in my house?

• <div><p>One scorpion sighting doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean there&rsquo;s an infestation, but finding a scorpion in your home should always be taken seriously. Don&rsquo;t panic, though, as that will only make the situation more stressful, and you may act irrationally out of fear. Most scorpions have extremely painful stings that cause swelling and redness, but they&rsquo;re not life-threatening.</p><p>However, while not all species are dangerous, the Arizona bark scorpion, which is common in the southwest U.S., is highly venomous and potentially deadly to humans. Never attempt DIY removal if you suspect it may be the Arizona bark scorpion&mdash;instead, contact a pest control professional immediately for safe, effective scorpion removal</p></div>

Q: How long do fleas live?

• <div><p>A flea can live as long as <b>100 days </b>when it has a live host to feed on. They tend to live a much shorter life when they&rsquo;re on a short-haired dog or cat versus a pet with longer hair. Without a host, fleas will typically only survive for about one to two weeks. </p></div>

Q: Do ultrasonic squirrel repellents really work?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://icwdm.org/species/rodents/tree-squirrels/tree-squirrel-damage-prevention-and-control-methods/">Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management</a>, no frightening devices are proven effective for squirrel control. This is likely because the squirrels quickly become habituated to the noises. However, strobe lights show some promise, so motion-activated lighting could be an option worth considering as part of your integrated pest management strategy.</p></div>

Q: Does smashing a stink bug attract more?

• <div><p>It is a myth that smashing a stink bug attracts more stink bugs. <a href="http://npic.orst.edu/pest/stinkbug.html#:~:text=Stink%20bugs%20release%20foul%20smelling,not%20attract%20more%20stink%20bugs.">According to</a> the National Pesticide Information Center, killing a stink bug will not attract more of them.
