Q: What happens if you seal bees in a wall?

• <div><p>If you seal bees in a wall and don&rsquo;t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they&rsquo;ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That&rsquo;s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.</p></div>

Q: Are wasps active at night?

• <div><p>Wasps don&rsquo;t sleep in, but they are relatively inactive at night, sticking to the confines of the nest, in what&rsquo;s known as a dormant state. Additionally, female wasps hibernate throughout the winter. That&rsquo;s why evenings are the best time of the day to attack wasp nests.</p></div>

Q: Are German cockroach traps safe for pets?

• <div><p>Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren&rsquo;t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called &ldquo;child-resistant,&rdquo; but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can&rsquo;t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don&rsquo;t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets. </p></div>

Q: What pest is most damaging to a house?

• <div><p>While many pests like rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can damage your home, termites are among the most destructive. By sheer dollar amount, the damage from a bad termite infestation is unparalleled, as they can ruin walls, floors, roofs, and wooden support materials, potentially requiring massive reconstruction. Other highly destructive pests include rodents, carpenter ants, and bees that build hives within walls. If you spot signs of termites or other pests, you should hire an exterminator immediately.</p></div>

Q: What decoys scare rabbits away?

• <div><p>Scarecrows and lifelike animal decoys, such as snakes, owls, coyotes, foxes, and hawks, can initially deter rabbits. However, these tactics might lose effectiveness if rabbits learn they are harmless. Having your dog or cat roam and mark the yard with their scent can also prove beneficial. Keep in mind tactics like these work best when combined with other methods.</p></div>

When I was unhappy with the first company I found through you, Ned Stevens, I contacted G&M Painting and they helped me get my gutters cleaned even though it was freezing cold and it has snowed a week before. I was very happy to get someone to help me in these awful weather conditions.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.

Wasps don’t sleep in, but they are relatively inactive at night, sticking to the confines of the nest, in what’s known as a dormant state. Additionally, female wasps hibernate throughout the winter. That’s why evenings are the best time of the day to attack wasp nests.

Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren’t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called “child-resistant,” but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can’t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don’t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets.

While many pests like rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can damage your home, termites are among the most destructive.
