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. Until you can properly remove the bats, the best course of action is to keep the attic doors closed and any holes sealed. Evidence suggests <a href="https://naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/wildlife/bats-around-and-home">bats follow the airflow in your home</a>, so they may try escaping from the attic to other parts of the house.</p></div>

Should I worry about bats in my yard?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don’t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they’re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent. </p></div>

Can rats come up through the toilet?

• <div><p>It’s an age-old and terrifying question: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/yes-rats-can-come-through-your-toilet.htm">Can rats come through the toilet</a>? The answer, unfortunately, is yes; however, it’s extremely rare. In the very unlikely case that this happens, it’s usually the result of rats from the sewer making their way into home plumbing pipes and up into the toilet. </p></div>

Will squirrels eventually leave on their own?

• <div><p>Don’t count on squirrels leaving on their own. Squirrels like the safety that a cozy attic provides and won’t be in a hurry to leave, especially if they’ve recently given birth to a litter. It’s best to address the situation with DIY removal tactics or hire a squirrel removal pro as soon as you suspect squirrels are living in your attic.</p></div>

Phil hooked up a thermostat to our electric garage heater, and it works perfectly. The control on the heater would heat the garage up to almost 60 degrees before it would shut off. Now I have the thermostat set at 47 degrees, and it holds it at 47 degrees.

It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can’t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.
