Q: How can I tell what kind of animal is in my attic?

• <div><p>It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:</p><ul><li><p><b>Sounds</b>: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.</p></li><li><p><b>Droppings</b>: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat&rsquo;s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you&rsquo;re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you&rsquo;re seeing in your attic.</p></li></ul><p>When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.</p></div>

Q: Are cockroaches dangerous for pets?

• <div><p>Roaches won&rsquo;t sting your pets and don&rsquo;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&rsquo;re so dirty, their bites (otherwise harmless) can also get infected. You don&rsquo;t want your pets chasing and trying to eat cockroaches, or sleeping near a roach infestation. </p></div>

Q: Are wasps active at night?

• <div><p>Wasps don&rsquo;t sleep in, but they are relatively inactive at night, sticking to the confines of the nest, in what&rsquo;s known as a dormant state. Additionally, female wasps hibernate throughout the winter. That&rsquo;s why evenings are the best time of the day to attack wasp nests.</p></div>

Q: Does killing a wasp really attract more of them?

• <div><p>Scientists have found that the chemical traces a dying wasp releases can agitate nearby wasps and make them more aggressive. It may not necessarily attract wasps, but it will make wasps in the area more likely to investigate and feel threatened, which leads to more stings. As a result, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to swat or crush a wasp anywhere near their nest. Once you have found a nest, hire a wasp exterminator. </p></div>

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>
