Are cockroaches dangerous for pets?

• <div><p>Roaches won’t sting your pets and don’t have venom like spiders do , but they present other dangers. Cockroaches are notorious carriers of diseases like salmonella and parasites like tapeworms. Because they’re so dirty, their bites (otherwise harmless) can also get infected. You don’t want your pets chasing and trying to eat cockroaches, or sleeping near a roach infestation. </p></div>

Can bats in my attic get into my house?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s possible for bats in your attic to find a way into your living spaces.

Q: How do I prevent mosquitoes between treatments?

• <div><p>Eliminate standing water, use mosquito-repellent plants, and maintain regular treatments for best results.</p></div>

Q: Can fleas live in your bed?

• <div><p>You may find fleas in your bed if they followed you there on your pet or your clothing. While they will need you or an animal as a host, they can hide in bedding since it is warm and out of sight. If you spot signs of fleas or see live fleas in your bed, hire a flea control specialist immediately to eradicate the infestation and prevent it from spreading further.</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>
