Q: Do home warranties cover pest control?

• <div><p>Home warranties typically do not cover pest control services or related damage in their basic plans. However, some companies offer premium plans or limited add-ons that may provide some coverage. These optional coverages often come with limitations, such as dollar caps, maximum payout amounts, or exclusions for specific pests. It is crucial to review the details of your specific home warranty policy to determine if pest control is covered and to understand any associated limitations.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a flea bomb in every room?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need a flea bomb in every room of your home, but that largely depends on the level of infestation you have.

Q: Can you remove a wasp nest yourself?
