Should I let cellar spiders live?

They’re also food for birds and small animals, so if you let a cellar spider live and simply transport it outside your house, you’re letting the natural cycle continue undisturbed. </p></div>

Are there any kinds of non-fruiting trees that attract yellow jackets?

• <div><p>Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (<i>Ailanthus altissima</i>), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-spotted-lanternfly.htm">spotted lanternflies</a> love.</p></div>

How fast can termites destroy a house?

• <div><p>You don’t have to worry about a termite infestation wreaking havoc on your home within days or weeks. It takes several months or years for significant structural damage to occur. The destruction rate depends on the colony’s size and maturity, the wood they’re feeding on, and the local conditions. Serious termite damage usually takes 3 to 8 years. But you should still take steps to treat your home and prevent termite return as soon as you spot their signs.</p></div>

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

There are several things to consider before you hire a professional exterminator:

Do they have the proper licensing?
Are they experienced?
Do they use eco-friendly products?
Are their products pet safe?

These are questions to ask yourself when you’re on the hunt for an ant exterminator, but you can also ask the exterminator or pest control company directly.

Scorpions have a hard time climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, smooth metal, and slick plastic. Their pincers and legs are designed for gripping rough or textured materials, so they struggle to gain traction on slick vertical surfaces. This is why glass containers or traps are often used to safely contain them. Keeping furniture or bed frames away from walls and using smooth materials as a block can help limit their ability to climb into sleeping or resting areas.

Yes. While cellar spiders can seem creepy or scary, they’re essential to the ecosystem. They feed on smaller insects in your home or elsewhere, keeping those populations in check. They’re also food for birds and small animals, so if you let a cellar spider live and simply transport it outside your house, you’re letting the natural cycle continue undisturbed.

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

The destruction rate depends on the colony’s size and maturity, the wood they’re feeding on, and the local conditions. Serious termite damage usually takes 3 to 8 years.
