Q: Do squash bugs bite?

• <div><p>Squash bugs don&rsquo;t bite humans or pets. Their piercing-sucking mouthparts are designed specifically for feeding on plants, not people. While they can be a major nuisance in the garden, they pose no direct physical threat to you, and you don&rsquo;t need to worry about bites, stings, or venom from these pests.</p></div>

Q: Is a hornet sting worse than a wasp?

• <div><p>Generally, the chemicals in hornet venom deliver a more painful sting than wasp stings. But wasps can still pack a punch when they sting, especially if they sting multiple times. One of the most painful insect stings in the world is that of the tarantula hawk. Fortunately, this sting is usually only an issue if you&rsquo;re a tarantula. </p></div>

Q: Should you kill a black widow spider?

• <div><p>Attempting to kill a black widow spider can pose a significant health risk. When these arachnids feel threatened, they are more likely to attack, increasing your chances of getting bit. It's better to trap the spider and release it from a location far away from your residence.</p></div>

Q: What is the best homemade fruit fly trap?

• <div><p>The most widely touted method for removing fruit flies is the combination of apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Since the soap causes the flies to sink, you can leave this trap open for maximum potency and easy fly access.</p></div>

Q: Are squirrels aggressive?

• <div><p>Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people. However, like many animals, they may exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered. If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.</p></div>
