Does seeing a carpenter ant indoors mean I have an infestation?

• <div><p>No. Carpenter ants range far when seeking out food, usually proteins or sugars. They may be attracted to dead pests near your house, or crumbs in the kitchen or pantry. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have an infestation, or that there is a nest nearby. However, it does mean that the ants have found a way to enter your home, so it’s time to be vigilant.</p></div>

Is spraying mosquitos bad?

• <div><p>Spraying mosquitos involves exposing your household to chemicals that may affect their health. Spraying chemicals in your yard can also harm other insects and plants, throwing off your yard’s ecosystem. In fact, some of the insects may naturally eat or kill mosquitos. Consider the personal and environmental effects before installing a mosquito misting system. </p></div>

Q: When are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage during the spring and summer, as warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. Once a colony is established, it can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

Q: What are the health risks of untreated rodent infestations?

• <div><p>Rodents carry diseases and can trigger allergies, making professional control essential.</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.
