Q: How do you draw bed bugs out of hiding?

• <div><p>Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective. </p></div>

Q: What can I spray on the mattress to kill fleas?

• <div><p>You can use a homemade spray to kill fleas on a mattress. To make the spray, combine equal parts water and distilled white vinegar. Spray the mixture on the fleas and all over the mattress. Follow this up with a generous sprinkle of salt all over the mattress, and let it sit overnight. Finally, vacuum the mattress to clean up the salt, dead fleas, and flea offspring. </p></div>

Q: What are the health risks of untreated rodent infestations?

• <div><p>Rodents carry diseases and can trigger allergies, making professional control essential.</p></div>

Q: Are silverfish dangerous to have in my home?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re a nuisance, but silverfish aren&rsquo;t nearly as dangerous as other pests like cockroaches, mice, termites or bed bugs. They don&rsquo;t carry diseases that humans or pets can catch, and they don&rsquo;t cause widespread destruction like termites or rats. Silverfish are small and find it very easy to get inside any exposed foodstuffs. Like weevils, you may find them in unprotected flour, cereal, grains, bread boxes, chip packages and more. They will happily nibble fabric and paper as well, so they can cause damage to furniture, clothing, books, bedding, curtains and other materials.</p></div>

Q: What do exterminators use to kill scorpions?

• <div><p>Exterminators use residual insecticides in either liquid or powder form to kill scorpions. These insecticides are applied directly to visible scorpions and their common hideouts and entryways in a home to kill them and prevent future infestation. Exterminators will also use diatomaceous earth at entryways to slowly kill scorpions that enter a home later.</p></div>
