Q: Does one termite mean infestation?

• <div><p>Finding one termite could be a sign of an infestation. This termite could be a worker looking for food or a swarmer responsible for reproduction. Any time you see a termite crawling or flying around your home, or if you see their discarded wings around doors and windows, it&rsquo;s time to call in a pro for an inspection. </p></div>

Q: What does baking soda do to fleas?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s been said that baking soda can kill fleas as it may dry out eggs and larvae. However, this method has not been proven to be effective in killing fleas or other pests. However, you can use it to absorb smells so if there is a fragrance you believe is attracting fleas or ticks, you can use baking soda to rid the smell to control it.</p></div>

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: Will a wasp sting you if you stand still?

• <div><p>A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it&rsquo;s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away. </p></div>

Q: Will fruit flies go away on their own?

• <div><p>Fruit flies are more common during warm-weather months and may go away on their own in late fall once temperatures drop. However, they can survive year-round indoors as long as there's food available, so you'll likely want to take a proactive approach to get rid of them and stop the spread of bacteria.</p></div>
