Q: What bug looks like a tick but isn't?

• <div><p>Several bugs can look like ticks but aren&rsquo;t, including beetles, bed bugs, spider beetles, and weevils. Aside from different types of beetles, the most common confusion is between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ticks-vs-bed-bugs.htm">ticks versus bed bugs</a>. In any case, since a tick is an eight-legged arachnid, you can quickly differentiate by the number of legs, as all insects have six legs. </p></div>

Q: Do cockroaches come out more after you spray?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s actually common to see more cockroaches after you spray. It might seem like things are getting worse, but that&rsquo;s usually a sign the treatment is working. Roach sprays and baits can flush them out of their hiding spots as they try to escape the chemicals. You might notice them acting strangely&mdash;slower, twitching, or out during the day when they&rsquo;re usually hiding.</p></div>

Q: What can I put in my attic to keep animals out?

• <div><p>To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.</p></div>

Q: What eco-friendly pest control solutions do professionals offer?

• <div><p>Yes, many professionals offer eco-friendly pest control solutions. These services often use non-toxic and environmentally safe products and integrate green practices to ensure effective pest management with minimal environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: Do hobo spiders bite?

• <div><p>For years, it was believed that hobo spider bites were incredibly dangerous, causing flesh-eating wounds. But the rumors of their bites were greatly exaggerated, and there's been no real evidence showing a connection between a hobo spider bite and necrotizing wounds. </p><p>That said, the spiders can and do bite, usually as a defense response. They won't attack you unprovoked, but if you take them by surprise and get close enough, they may bite you. Their bites may cause some minor irritation or itchiness. </p></div>
