Q: How do you calm wasps?

If you&rsquo;re attempting to DIY kill a very small wasp nest, wait until night to apply wasp spray, as they are calmest and most docile when it&rsquo;s dark. </p></div>

Q: Will a wasp sting you if you stand still?

• <div><p>A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it&rsquo;s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away. </p></div>

Q: Are fleas or ticks faster?

• <div><p>Fleas are leaps and bounds ahead of ticks when jumping from person to person. The average flea can cover 1.9 meters per second. It can also jump over 50 times its own height. Fleas rely solely on their magnificent leaps to jump hosts. While ticks can crawl relatively quickly, their strategy is usually to sit and wait for a victim to &quot;hitchhike&quot; in tall grass.</p></div>

Q: Should you leave the wasp nest alone?

• <div><p>If a small hive is far enough from your home and doesn&rsquo;t seem to pose a threat to the health of anyone, then you can opt to leave it alone. They are still pollinators; if you have a garden, they&rsquo;ll tackle some gardening work for you and produce helpful results without harming you. </p></div>

We hired Janesville Chimney and Fireplace to clean and inspect our chimney. He showed upon time and did a very good job. Very nice young man and we were charged a fair price. We feel safer now knowing the chimney has been cleaned and inspected. Thank you Janesville Chimney and Fireplace.

I had a large pine that had to come down. It was on the corner of my lot, so he had the street, houses, and numerous wires to deal with. He had the tree down, cut up, and ready to haul away within an hour or so. He was also conscientious of other plantings I have there. I absolutely recommend...
