Q: How do I protect my pets or kids from spiders?

• <div><p>Most spiders are harmless or do little more than the equivalent of a bee sting. Prevention is the best option for more serious cases. Keep spiders out of your home when possible. When you find spiders, a spider nest, or egg sac, remove it quickly before an inquisitive pet or child gets involved. When children are old enough, teach them to recognize the few dangerous species of spiders and avoid them to prevent getting bitten.</p></div>

Q: Can you starve bed bugs to death?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not fast, but you can tightly seal items and store them away for at least a few months, preferably an entire year. Bed bugs can&rsquo;t survive that long without eating. However, this method takes significantly longer than other common eradication methods like heat treatments, steaming, or fumigation, so it&rsquo;s not a first choice for homeowners.</p></div>

Q: Are hornets the same as wasps?

• <div><p>Sort of. Hornets are a subsection of wasps with some unique characteristics (along with yellowjackets and similar types of insects). Hornets are generally rare in the United States, with European and Asian hornets the two notable examples.</p><p>Hornets tend to be significantly larger than wasps, often larger than one inch. They are also typically white or brown striped instead of yellow like many wasps. They tend to be one of the more aggressive types of wasps, which when combined with their size makes them a priority for homeowners.</p></div>

Q: Do dryer sheets keep mice out of cars?

• <div><p>Many people have reported success in using dryer sheets to deter mice. This result is likely due to the strong scent that the rodents don&rsquo;t find favorable. However, using dryer sheets alone may not be a foolproof solution, and it's often better to combine various preventive measures, such as traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices, to protect your car from rodent infestations more effectively.</p></div>

Q: What kills fruit flies instantly?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-bleach-kill-drain-flies.htm">Bleach, which can kill drain flies</a>, can also kill fruit flies, but it&rsquo;s better to lure fruit flies to a liquid rather than applying chemicals, as it&rsquo;s very difficult to reach them all. A more practical approach is to lure fruit flies with traps made from liquids like apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap. This method is safer and more efficient, since it targets a larger number of fruit flies without relying on harsh chemicals that may not reach all the pests.</p></div>
