Q: What smell kills bed bugs instantly?

• <div><p>Citrus scents such as lemon or lime are lethal to bed bugs. They&rsquo;re drawn to the smell, but the chemicals often kill them. There are other ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/kill-bed-bugs-diy-bed-bug-treatment-plan.htm">kill bed bugs without an exterminator</a>, including using steam, DIY heat treatments, essential oils, diatomaceous earth, and more. However, you should hire a professional bed bug exterminator to eliminate large numbers of bed bugs.</p></div>

Q: How do I protect my pets or kids from spiders?

• <div><p>Most spiders are harmless or do little more than the equivalent of a bee sting. Prevention is the best option for more serious cases. Keep spiders out of your home when possible. When you find spiders, a spider nest, or egg sac, remove it quickly before an inquisitive pet or child gets involved. When children are old enough, teach them to recognize the few dangerous species of spiders and avoid them to prevent getting bitten.</p></div>

Q: What do paper wasps look like?

• <div><p>Paper wasps look similar to other wasps, like yellow jackets. They have narrow, but not thread-like, waists with black or brown bodies and yellow colorations. You can better identify paper wasps by their nests, which are made with regurgitated wood pulp. The nests look like they are made from paper and usually have visible hexagonal holes, like a honeybee hive.</p><p>They build their nests in places like eaves or branches, and their removal more often warrants the help of a wasp control specialist near you. </p></div>

Q: Is pest control good for spiders?

• <div><p>Although it's easy to eliminate one or two harmless spiders yourself, professional spider exterminators have the tools, licenses, and expertise to reduce or remove major infestations effectively. They can also safely get rid of venomous black widow or brown recluse spiders and offer advice about preventative treatments to help defend against more infestations.</p></div>

Q: Can cockroaches damage appliances?

• <div><p>While cockroaches can contaminate appliances and their contents, they won't cause damage. Cockroaches can spread bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, making it important to keep them out of places where food is stored, such as a refrigerator. When it comes to electronics, however, cockroaches could potentially damage internal electrical components. As the pests navigate inside a TV or console, they may touch high-voltage components that could short out your product. This damage could lead to costly repairs or require replacements.</p></div>
