What do spiders hate the most?

Q: Can I smoke animals out of my attic?

• <div><p>Some stores sell smoke bombs to drive animals out of spaces, but we don&rsquo;t recommend you use them, especially in an attic. The smoke can be toxic to humans or pets that may accidentally inhale it. Meanwhile, critters can easily escape the smoke by temporarily leaving the attic, only to return via their usual entry points after the smoke clears.</p></div>

Q: Is fogging or spraying for mosquitoes better?

• <div><p>Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you&rsquo;re concerned about the environment, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dryer-sheets-beer-diy-mosquito-control.htm">natural mosquito repellant</a> may be better than either fogging or spraying.</p></div>

Q: Will fleas die off in the winter if I don’t want to pay for an exterminator?

• <div><p>Cold winter months won&rsquo;t always kill off fleas completely. Your home is typically warm enough for fleas to survive or, at least, for the eggs to lay dormant, ready to hatch when warmer weather arrives. Plus, waiting for the winter isn&rsquo;t a good idea. The infestation will continue to grow, and fleas carry pathogens that can harm humans and pets. </p></div>
