Q: Are armadillos friendly animals?

Q: How do you get rid of bed bugs in a mattress?

• <div><p>If you find bed bugs on your mattress, your first step is to put your sheets, pillowcases, pillows, and nearby linens into a trash bag and wash them in hot water.

Next, use one (or more) of the solutions listed above to kill any live bugs, or call an exterminator for a professional treatment. </p></div>

Q: Will raccoons leave on their own?

• <div><p>Sometimes, raccoons will leave on their own, but it&rsquo;s never guaranteed. If you have a raccoon infestation that lasts a long time, you&rsquo;ll want to take measures to trap and remove them. Once they&rsquo;re gone, seal off possible entryways to ensure they don&rsquo;t return.</p></div>

Q: How long do fleas live?

• <div><p>A flea can live as long as <b>100 days </b>when it has a live host to feed on. They tend to live a much shorter life when they&rsquo;re on a short-haired dog or cat versus a pet with longer hair. Without a host, fleas will typically only survive for about one to two weeks. </p></div>

Q: Where are fleas most likely to hide?

• <div><p>Fleas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/where-do-fleas-hide.htm">are master hiders</a>, so they&rsquo;re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they&rsquo;re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They&rsquo;re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it&rsquo;s important to keep the home clean. </p></div>
