Q: Should I worry about termites in my yard?

• <div><p>Yes, termites in your yard can be something to be concerned about, especially if they&rsquo;re close to your home. While not all outdoor colonies pose an immediate threat, termites can move from wood piles, tree stumps, or mulch, eventually making their way to your home&rsquo;s structure. If you see mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarming activity, it&rsquo;s a good idea to schedule a professional termite inspection to prevent potential infestation. </p></div>

Q: Is tree sap dangerous to humans or pets?

• <div><p>Tree sap is not usually dangerous to humans or pets. But some trees do produce dangerous sap. Notably, ash, birch, cedar and similar saps can irritate the skin but aren&rsquo;t dangerous. Sap from trees like the Brazilwood, Mahogany, Milky Mangrove or well-named Poison Walnut can be corrosive, cause nausea, or trigger those with asthma. But for most backyard trees, protective equipment like a sturdy pair of gloves should be fine.</p></div>

Q: What do earwigs eat?

• <div><p>Earwigs are omnivores, so they have a varied diet. Generally, they feast on decaying organic matter, leaves, flowers, and vegetables. They&rsquo;ll also eat other insects (dead or alive) like aphids, sowbugs, and mites.</p></div>

Q: What kills stink bugs fast?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prepare-animal-removal.htm">Contact pest control</a> if you have a stink bug infestation that you need to eliminate quickly.
