Will a dryer kill bed bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes. As long as the dryer isn’t stuffed to the brim, you can run it on high for about 30 minutes to kill bed bugs at all life stages. This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.</p></div>

What should I do if I find a tick on my body?

• <div><p>Ticks are most commonly found behind (or even inside) ears, behind knees, in belly buttons, in the hair, and in your underarms. If you find a tick on your body or on your pet, use a pair of clean tweezers to grab the tick as close to the surface of your skin as possible. If you simply yank or twist it, you can leave the tick’s mouth parts lodged in your skin and will need to remove those carefully with the tweezers. </p><p>Once you have removed the tick, flush it down the toilet and wash your skin with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Know the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/index.html">signs of lyme disease</a> such as fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a rash.</p></div>

Q: Does a termite swarm mean I have termites?

• <div><p>Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn&rsquo;t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP. </p></div>

Q: Can you get rid of wolves naturally?

• <div><p>Yes, you can get rid of wolves naturally using nonlethal deterrents, like motion-activated lighting or loud music. You can also get rid of wolves with the same methods that apply to keeping other wildlife away&mdash;strong and tall fencing, a guard dog, and a clean property free from potential food sources. </p></div>

Q: What methods do pros use to eliminate rodents?
