Q: Should you remove a wasp nest or leave it?

• <div><p>If the nest is on or in your home, you should have an exterminator remove it. However, if the wasp nest is in an area of your yard that you don't frequent, you can leave it alone as long as the wasps don&rsquo;t bother your household members. Wasps are very active during the summer months, but they will vacate in the fall and not return until the following year. So, if it's safe to do so, you can leave it, but if it poses a threat of being stung because it's in an area that you use frequently, consider having it removed.</p></div>

Q: What color is rat poison?

• <div><p>Rat poison is dyed bright colors like blue, green, or pink. This will allow you to easily identify bait and is intended to prevent accidental ingestion.</p></div>

Q: Is spraying mosquitos bad?

• <div><p>Spraying mosquitos involves exposing your household to chemicals that may affect their health. Spraying chemicals in your yard can also harm other insects and plants, throwing off your yard&rsquo;s ecosystem. In fact, some of the insects may naturally eat or kill mosquitos. Consider the personal and environmental effects before installing a mosquito misting system. </p></div>

Q: Can cockroaches damage appliances?

• <div><p>While cockroaches can contaminate appliances and their contents, they won't cause damage. Cockroaches can spread bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, making it important to keep them out of places where food is stored, such as a refrigerator. When it comes to electronics, however, cockroaches could potentially damage internal electrical components. As the pests navigate inside a TV or console, they may touch high-voltage components that could short out your product. This damage could lead to costly repairs or require replacements.</p></div>

Q: Can bats in my attic get into my house?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible for bats in your attic to find a way into your living spaces. Until you can properly remove the bats, the best course of action is to keep the attic doors closed and any holes sealed. Evidence suggests <a href="https://naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/wildlife/bats-around-and-home">bats follow the airflow in your home</a>, so they may try escaping from the attic to other parts of the house.</p></div>
