Q: How fast do roaches multiply?

• <div><p>Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Are pest-repellent plants toxic to people?

• <div><p>Some plants that are toxic to animals or insects are also toxic to people. Daffodils, for example, are considered poisonous to humans (although they are rarely fatal). Most of the other plants listed above, however, are safe (and delicious!) for humans to eat, including basil, rosemary, and lemongrass.</p></div>

Q: What time of year are bees most likely to swarm?

• <div><p>Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: How effective are natural mice deterrents?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/get-rid-mice-and-spiders-essential-oils.htm">Scented mouse deterrents</a>, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.</p></div>

Q: Can humans carry fleas?

• <div><p>Yes, humans carry fleas. Although fleas are primarily associated with dogs and cats, they are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide of mammals, including humans. The difference is that most fleas will only choose animals as their hosts. They may bite humans, but they don&rsquo;t tend to stick around on humans for long. The one exception is the<i> Pulex irritans</i>, also called the human flea, which prefers human blood.</p></div>
