Q: What dries out flea eggs?

• <div><p>There are several ways to dry out flea eggs. Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural ingredient that can dry out fleas, but it&rsquo;s messy to apply and can also cause respiratory issues for members of your household if inhaled. Salt is safer and easier to apply, so shake it liberally over affected areas. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boric-acid-safe-use-pest-control.htm">Boric acid</a> is another way to get rid of fleas and other insects, but this, too, can cause respiratory issues and health problems if inhaled or ingested.</p></div>

Q: Can I reuse live rat traps to save money?

• <div><p>While you might want to cut corners by either borrowing or purchasing used live traps for catching rats, this can be dangerous because those traps could contain leftover viruses and bacteria that will enter your home. Always start fresh with new materials to avoid contamination.</p></div>

Q: What can I put in my attic to keep animals out?

• <div><p>To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.</p></div>

Q: Are pest-repellent plants toxic to people?

• <div><p>Some plants that are toxic to animals or insects are also toxic to people. Daffodils, for example, are considered poisonous to humans (although they are rarely fatal). Most of the other plants listed above, however, are safe (and delicious!) for humans to eat, including basil, rosemary, and lemongrass.</p></div>

Q: Will tick treatment prevent ticks from returning?

• <div><p>Spraying for ticks does a good job of eliminating the existing ticks in your yard. Moderate to severe infestations might require several treatment sessions, but most infestations are well controlled with enough treatments, regardless of their severity.</p><p>However, wildlife, pets, and people can still carry ticks into a yard, even after treatment, so if you're concerned about ticks in your area, it's a good idea to spray annually for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/prevention-key-avoiding-ticks.htm">tick prevention</a>.</p></div>
