Q: Can carpet beetles be in your bed?

• <div><p>Carpet beetles don&rsquo;t seek shelter in mattresses like bed bugs do, but there still may be sources of food, like the fabric of your sheets and blankets, that attract carpet beetles. Because these pests munch on plant-based materials, you could still find one in your bed as it&rsquo;s searching for food.</p></div>

Q: Are roaches less likely in second stories of homes?

• <div><p>Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.</p></div>

Q: How can I distinguish between bees and wasps?

• <div><p>Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.</p></div>

Q: Why might moles be drawn to my property?

• <div><p>The simple answer is that food attracts moles to your yard. These creatures have a powerful sense of smell, and they&rsquo;re looking for their next meal, i.e., grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects. Moist, loose soil also makes it easier for them to travel, so an overwatered lawn could attract them. Male moles might make their way into your yard to expand their territory or look for a new mate. And if your neighbor has moles, there&rsquo;s a good chance they may tunnel over to your yard.</p></div>

Q: When during the day are rats most active?

• <div><p>Rats are at their peak activity at night. They use the darkness as a cover to explore, hunt for food, and quench their thirst. Their super senses, especially their night vision and sharp hearing, are tailor-made for nighttime adventures, helping them navigate. This preference for nighttime shenanigans is because they want to steer clear of daytime dangers and predators. They feel more secure when the sun goes down, allowing them to roam freely while keeping a low profile.</p></div>
