• <div><p>Spiders are not typically attracted to bedding as a primary source of food or shelter, but they sometimes inadvertently end up there. Spiders can hitch a ride on your clothing, belongings, or through open windows and doors. The underside of a bed, especially if it's near a wall or corner, can provide such a sheltered spot where they can hide and build webs. Dust and clutter under your bed can create ideal hiding places as well. If your room has other insects like flies or mosquitoes, spiders may be drawn to the area in search of prey. </p></div>

Q: What’s the most common wood-eating pest?

They are found in every state and are typically worse in warm and humid climates. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-common-myths-about-swarming-termites.htm">They cause billions of dollars in damage</a> every year, which is why it&rsquo;s vital that homeowners address infestations as soon as possible.</p></div>

Q: What needs to be removed before heat treatment for bed bugs?

• <div><p>Due to the high temperatures used during heat treatments, many things must be removed from the area. The most vital things to ensure you remove are living things like pets and plants. To prevent damage to your belongings, you should also remove items such as electronics, flammable products, food, and anything else that the heat may damage. </p></div>

Q: What can I do to help prevent ticks?

• <div><p>Ticks love to hide in long grass, mulch beds, leaf piles, and wooded areas, so minimizing these things in your yard can help stop them from making a home there. If you live in an area with lots of wildlife, it's also helpful to put up a fence so that deer and other animals don't bring ticks into your yard.</p></div>
