Q: What smells keep bats away?

• <div><p>Certain strong smells may help repel bats, though this is not a foolproof method and is best used in conjunction with other deterrence strategies. Scents like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and mint are often suggested as natural remedies. To create a spray, you can mix two cups of warm water with half a cup of sugar and a few drops of your preferred essential oil. Apply this mixture using a spray bottle to possible entry points and throughout the affected area, such as an attic. While this home remedy is popular, evidence supporting its effectiveness is limited.</p></div>

Q: Are fleas or ticks faster?

• <div><p>Fleas are leaps and bounds ahead of ticks when jumping from person to person. The average flea can cover 1.9 meters per second. It can also jump over 50 times its own height. Fleas rely solely on their magnificent leaps to jump hosts. While ticks can crawl relatively quickly, their strategy is usually to sit and wait for a victim to &quot;hitchhike&quot; in tall grass.</p></div>

Q: How long before German cockroaches are gone for good?

• <div><p>For a minor infestation, you can expect to clear up a German cockroach problem in about two weeks. That&rsquo;s usually enough time to confirm that they don&rsquo;t have additional hiding spots and aren&rsquo;t continuing to encroach from an outside source. If you have a major infestation and use the services of a pest control company, it can take several weeks and multiple visits to fully clear your home, up to a couple of months.</p></div>

Q: Should I let cellar spiders live?

• <div><p>Yes. While cellar spiders can seem creepy or scary, they&rsquo;re essential to the ecosystem. They feed on smaller insects in your home or elsewhere, keeping those populations in check. They&rsquo;re also food for birds and small animals, so if you let a cellar spider live and simply transport it outside your house, you&rsquo;re letting the natural cycle continue undisturbed. </p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for rodent control?

• <div><p>Experts provide safe, comprehensive solutions that eliminate current problems and prevent future infestations.</p></div>
