Q: Who do I call for wildlife removal?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to call a licensed and insured wildlife removal company that offers:</p><ul><li><p>Full property inspection&mdash;indoor and outdoor</p></li><li><p>Proper animal identification</p></li><li><p>Written management plan with follow-up visits included</p></li><li><p>Humane removal techniques</p></li><li><p>Preventative exclusion measures</p></li></ul><p>If it&rsquo;s an emergency and you can&rsquo;t wait, you&rsquo;ll need to contact an <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/emergency-animal-control/">emergency animal control company near you</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can I smoke animals out of my attic?

• <div><p>Some stores sell smoke bombs to drive animals out of spaces, but we don&rsquo;t recommend you use them, especially in an attic. The smoke can be toxic to humans or pets that may accidentally inhale it. Meanwhile, critters can easily escape the smoke by temporarily leaving the attic, only to return via their usual entry points after the smoke clears.</p></div>

Q: Do carpenter bees sting?

• <div><p>Male carpenter bees actually don't have a stinger, but they will hover around areas as a defense mechanism to deter intruders. However, females can sting but are not typically aggressive and tend to only sting when threatened or provoked. They are less active at night, so you are less likely to encounter them because they tend to rest at night.</p></div>

Q: What attracts fleas to humans?

• <div><p>Humans attract fleas with their body heat, the carbon dioxide (CO2) they exhale, body odors, and movement. Fleas love hiding in warm, dark places like hair and scalps, armpits, and groin areas. Fleas prefer to feed on pets and wildlife, but they do bite humans when other warm-blooded mammals aren&rsquo;t available. </p></div>
