Q: How can I distinguish between bees and wasps?

• <div><p>Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.</p></div>

Q: What is the number one termite killer?

• <div><p>One of the most widespread chemicals used for killing termites is Fipronil. It&rsquo;s one of the most common insecticides used by termite exterminators to kill termites fast. However, it&rsquo;s toxic and generally used in outdoor areas only. Popular brand names of termite killers include Taurus, Bifen, Termidor, and BioAdvanced. All insecticides have pros and cons: Some are safer around humans but don&rsquo;t last as long. Some may kill nearby plants or have power odors. Some are designed for safe indoor bait stations but take much longer to work.</p></div>

Q: What smells keep coyotes away?

• <div><p>Scent deterrents like ammonia, vinegar, mothballs, and pepper can help keep coyotes away, but these are best used in tandem with other preventative measures. Remember that ammonia and vinegar can kill your plants and/or grass, so it&rsquo;s best to soak rags in these substances or spray them on hardscaped areas to avoid damaging your landscape.</p></div>
