Q: Can chinch bugs fly?

• <div><p>Technically, yes, chinch bugs can fly. However you won&rsquo;t usually see them in flight. Chinch bugs like to stick close to the ground and they usually move around by hopping or crawling (which is why they can be hard to see). Since they don&rsquo;t get much chance at flying, they&rsquo;re pretty bad at it and only fly for short distances&mdash;like to nearby yards. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to evacuate the home after a bed bug treatment?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to fully evacuate your home after a bed bug treatment, you will have to stay out of the treated rooms (or the whole home) for at least four to five hours after treatment. In most cases, you can return to sleeping on your existing mattress and use your existing furniture, but it&rsquo;s best to confirm this with a bed bug pro.</p></div>
