Q: What should you do if you find a hobo spider in your home?

• <div><p>You're more likely to find a hobo spider outside rather than inside your home. If you do find one in your home, don't panic.

You may also vacuum up the spider and remove it by emptying the vacuum bag. </p><p>If you notice more than one spider, it may be a good idea to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">local pest control company</a> to check out the situation and recommend a course of action. </p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of bed bugs?

• <div><p>Typically, bed bugs live for <b>four to six months</b>. However, they can live even longer in cool conditions without any food.

Q: What attracts paper wasps?

• <div><p>Paper wasps, like many other wasps, are attracted to sweet smells that remind them of nectar. That&rsquo;s why wasps may buzz around you as you snack on watermelon on the patio. They may also like the scent of certain perfumes. Standing water attracts these wasps, too.</p><p>Paper wasps are also attracted to warm, sheltered spaces, where they can build nests and raise larva in protected areas away from predators.

Q: How do you calm wasps?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no easy way to calm down swarming wasps, especially if they are already agitated. Stay far away and wait for them to settle down to avoid injury.

Q: How do you destroy spider egg sacs?

• <div><p>Spider egg sacs are meant to last, so you can't crush them. One of the best ways to deal with them is to vacuum them up and then quickly dispose of your debris in the trash so the egg sacs leave your property permanently. Egg sacs surrounded by little spiderlings means that it has already hatched, but you may be able to catch many of these with a vacuum cleaner, too.</p></div>
