Q: What questions should I ask when hiring a pro to remove pests?

• <div><p>To make sure the removal process goes smoothly, try asking your pro the following questions: </p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and insured? </p></li><li><p>How much experience do you have with relocating beehives? </p></li><li><p>Do you remove the honey and honeycomb? </p></li><li><p>Do you relocate the bees alive? </p></li><li><p>Do you have any references from previous clients?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why won't squirrels go in my trap?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re having trouble with your traps, first examine them for flaws that would allow a squirrel to escape easily, such as loose doors or hinges. It&rsquo;s also important to consider the location of your trap: Place it in areas with higher squirrel traffic, and make sure it&rsquo;s on a sturdy surface so it can&rsquo;t wobble or tip (squirrels aren&rsquo;t likely to walk in a trap that isn&rsquo;t stable). Lastly, try changing out your bait&mdash;in-shell peanuts or peanut butter often work best.</p></div>

Q: What colors do hornets hate?

• <div><p>Hornets are attracted to bright colors that look like flowers, including purple, pink, white, green, and yellow. They are least attracted to dark colors, such as blue and black. </p></div>

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 can remove the spider by catching it in a glass or cup and transporting it outside. 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: How do I find where mice are entering my home?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to locate all areas in your home that could be a potential entry point for mice, such as doors, windows, vents, baseboards, holes, and cracks in your home&rsquo;s foundation. Don&rsquo;t forget to check less-obvious areas like the attic, plumbing and sewers, and even the roof and gutters. If you check these spots and don&rsquo;t find any signs of mice, consider hiring a pest control pro to dig deeper into potential hiding spots. </p></div>
