Q: Are bug bombs safe to use?

• <div><p>Consumer-brand foggers or bug bombs are considered safe overall. Still, it's essential to read the instructions carefully as the vacating time varies depending on the type of bug bomb you use. Most of the time, it's advised that all humans and pets are out of the area for at least two to four hours after initiating the fogger process. It's also a good idea to vent the space by cracking open some windows for several hours after you're back inside.</p></div>

Q: Do roaches ever completely go away?

• <div><p>Getting roaches to completely go away will take a lot of effort, and they hardly ever go away on their own. You will likely need a combination of home treatments, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-cockroach-killer.htm">roach sprays</a> and traps, and regular visits from an exterminator, to control an infestation. It can take awhile for these treatments to start working, and you&rsquo;ll need to stay on top of replacing old traps and having additional extermination services, plus keeping your home clean and decluttered, to deter roaches.</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 part of the year are rats more active?

• <div><p>Across most of the United States, the fall season sees rats at their prime activity levels. As temperatures drop, rats become more active, spurred by the weather shift to seek shelter as winter approaches. During this time, their curiosity and energy peak, driving them to explore what your home and its surroundings might offer.</p></div>
