• <div><p>No, phorid flies do not <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-fruit-flies-bite.htm">bite</a> humans or animals. However, they can still be harmful to humans.

Q: What attracts wasps around the home?

• <div><p>Wasps are attracted to three primary things: Bright colors, food sources, and softened wood they can use for nests.

You can decrease the attention of wasps by keeping trash bins closed and avoiding bright flower colors in furniture or tablecloths. </p></div>

Q: Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

• <div><p>Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don&rsquo;t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.</p></div>

Q: How long will fleas live in a house without pets?

• <div><p>Fleas can live up to <b>two weeks</b> without pets to feed on. However, they can also feed on rodents and people as an alternative if pets aren't present in the home. Adult fleas need a blood source to survive, but pupae can lay dormant for months in the right environment. </p></div>
