Do bats in the attic cause damage?

• <div><p>Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.</p></div>

Are squash bugs and stink bugs the same?

• <div><p>There’s no denying the striking resemblance, but squash bugs are different from the brown marmorated stink bug. While both are shield-shaped and emit a foul odor when crushed, they belong to different insect families and target different plants. Squash bugs primarily attack squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbits, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/where-do-stink-bugs-come-from.htm">stink bugs</a> have a much broader range of host plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

Torpedo Electric was knowledgeable, thorough, safe, efficient, and honest. We had a very old panel box and the upgrade went smoothly. His price was competitive and fair. I would highly recommend Torpedo Electric. We will use him in the future for upcoming upgrades we have planned.

Expensive, tried to upsell me immediately upon entering the house. Charged double what I expected to do a minor job of taping up a vent to control bat entrance, which then came loose and owner would not send person back to fix it.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.

Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.

Squash bugs primarily attack squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbits, while stink bugs have a much broader range of host plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

Will coffee grounds get rid of squash bugs?

What smell do squash bugs hate?

While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don’t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.

If it seems like many flies appeared in your yard overnight, don’t be concerned. A single fly can lay over 200 eggs per day, so having one in your yard could lead to dozens more the next day. That’s why it’s important to eliminate flies from outside your home before they take up residence.
