Will bees go away on their own?

• <div><p>In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.</p></div>

Q: What draws bed bugs out of hiding?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, we do. Bed bugs sense our heat signature, particularly the altered heat signature associated with sleep, and exit their hiding spots to feast.</p></div>

Q: What do foxes hate the most?

• <div><p>Foxes hate strong scents and sudden disturbances. They dislike the smell of ammonia, vinegar, garlic, chili peppers, and predator urine, which can make an area less appealing. Motion-activated lights and sprinklers also unsettle them, as foxes prefer to avoid sudden movements and bright lights. Additionally, they are wary of loud noises and unexpected sounds.</p></div>

Q: Can scorpions enter your home through AC vents?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering whether scorpions can come in through your air vents , the answer is yes, unfortunately, they can. These pests are excellent climbers and can scale your home&rsquo;s exterior, squeezing through gaps as small as 1/16 inch . Scorpions are often attracted to the moisture around air conditioning ducts and may slip through small openings where the duct meets the vent cover. Once inside your walls, they can emerge through any accessible gap, including your AC vents, especially if the system isn&rsquo;t well-sealed.</p></div>

Q: How long do pest control treatments last?

• <div><p>The longevity of pest control treatment depends on the treatments and the type of pest. Pest control services for serious infestations can last 3 to 6 months. Some treatments are more or less permanent if the pro fixes how pests were entering the home. Other treatments, like sprayed barriers or bait traps, are designed to last for anywhere from 30 days to several months. Pest control often offers to re-apply treatments like this to ensure full eradication and discourage new infestations. </p></div>
