Q: How soon should you call for wasp removal?

• <div><p>If you spot a wasp nest on your property, call a professional exterminator as quickly as possible. The longer you wait to call a pro to remove the wasps, the more you risk a painful sting.

Q: Is it safe to clean mouse droppings on my own?

• <div><p>If you are not at high risk of contracting disease and take proper safety precautions, it&rsquo;s considered generally safe to clean mouse droppings on your own. Before handling any droppings, make sure to put on protective equipment such as plastic gloves and a face mask. Individuals who are immunocompromised, have medical conditions, and children should especially avoid exposure to mouse droppings. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if I get sprayed by a skunk?

• <div><p>Whether you, your dog, or your cat has been sprayed, <a href="https://www.poison.org/articles/what-happens-if-a-skunk-sprays-me-213">Poison Control</a> recommends using a solution of 1 quart of 3% (household strength) hydrogen peroxide, &frac14; cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoonful of liquid dish detergent mixed together and immediately applied to the sprayed fur or skin <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-rid-skunk-smell-your-home.htm">to get rid of skunk smell</a>.

Q: Does a termite swarm mean I have termites?

• <div><p>Seeing a termite swarm near your home is a strong indication that a colony is nearby, but it doesn&rsquo;t always mean your home is infested. Swarmers may emerge from outdoor colonies or neighboring structures. However, if the swarm is inside your home or you notice discarded wings near windowsills, it likely means termites are nesting within your walls or foundation. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm and address a potential infestation ASAP. </p></div>
