Q: Are there eco-friendly termite treatments?

• <div><p>It is very difficult to remove a colony entirely without using some kind of insecticide. However, some treatments are safer than others. Diatomaceous earth is a non-toxic powder application that creates barriers that insects can&rsquo;t pass through. Some pest control companies offer liquid nitrogen treatments to freeze out termites without using pesticides. Some chemical treatments are safer to use around plants, water, and wildlife than others. Bait stations are generally less damaging to the environment than sprayed termiticides.</p></div>

Q: Can silverfish fly?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-silverfish-fly.htm">whether silverfish can fly</a>, they can&rsquo;t&mdash;they don&rsquo;t have wings. Instead, they wriggle their bodies and move quickly in a fish-like motion, hence their name. Despite their speed, they are limited to crawling along floors, walls, and ceilings. Silverfish are known for their agility and ability to hide in small cracks and crevices, but they cannot jump or fly.</p></div>

Q: What time of day are bed bugs most active?

• <div><p>Bed bugs are most active when we are most inactive, typically from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. They are cunning, and adjust their schedules according to their victims. If you work at night, for instance, your bed bugs will flip the script.</p></div>
