Should I try to remove a bee's nest myself?

So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.</p></div>

Q: Will a bowl of vinegar kill fleas?

• <div><p>A bowl of vinegar will not kill fleas and acts only as a repellent. To get rid of fleas, you can create a homemade flea trap or buy flea traps from a local hardware store. Consistent trapping and meticulous cleaning will help eliminate fleas before they become an infestation. If you have a moderate to severe flea infestation, you&rsquo;ll likely need the help of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/flea-control/">local flea control specialist</a>. </p></div>

Q: How fast do roaches multiply?

• <div><p>Roaches multiply quickly, which is why an infestation can spread so fast. Female American cockroaches lay about 12 eggs in each egg case, called an ootheca. They can lay six to 14 ootheca during their short lifespan. German cockroaches lay four to five ootheca in their lifetime, with each carrying 20 to 40 eggs. Many roaches can have 100 to over 200 offspring during their lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Should I sleep with bed bugs?

• <div><p>While it may seem counterintuitive to continue sleeping in a room with bed bugs, it&rsquo;s the best option to avoid spreading the infestation to other rooms, homes, or surfaces. In the nights before your bed bug removal professional arrives, continue sleeping in the same bed, but wear as much protective clothing as possible, such as long pants, long socks, and long-sleeve shirts. That way, you&rsquo;ll limit the number of bites during the night.</p></div>

"In 2017 we had an infestation of black ants so we contacted Dakota Pest Control. They were prompt, thorough, informative, and offered to come out for another treatment if needed at no additional cost. Fortunately, one treatment was all we needed. Since it was so nice to not have to deal with spiders, ants, and other pesky insects last year we decided it was worth it to have a general treatment done this year and will probably continue on an annual basis. Cost was very reasonable for the services provided."
