Q: Can bears smell food in your house?

• <div><p>Yes, bears can smell through walls if they are close enough. Estimates vary, but experts say bears can smell up to a maximum distance between one and 20 miles. Food inside a house does not attract bears to the degree that food left outside does, though.</p></div>

Q: Are there risks with pest control?

• <div><p>Some pest control treatments, such as spraying insecticides or bug bombs, can cause severe health problems for your household members if you are improperly exposed to them.

Q: How do I protect my pets or kids from spiders?

• <div><p>Most spiders are harmless or do little more than the equivalent of a bee sting. Prevention is the best option for more serious cases. Keep spiders out of your home when possible. When you find spiders, a spider nest, or egg sac, remove it quickly before an inquisitive pet or child gets involved. When children are old enough, teach them to recognize the few dangerous species of spiders and avoid them to prevent getting bitten.</p></div>

Q: Do cockroaches bite humans?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s very uncommon for roaches to bite humans. Cockroaches don&rsquo;t need humans for food and prefer to be elsewhere than on a living being. They have no poison or powerful pincers to cause any significant damage. However, in very bad infestations cockroaches have been known to search humans for dead skin cells, which leads to them nibbling around feet, hands, and eyelashes. They don&rsquo;t cause any serious harm, but this is an easy way to spread the diseases cockroaches carry.</p></div>
