Q: What time of day are bed bugs most active?

• <div><p>Bed bugs are most active when we are most inactive, typically from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. They are cunning, and adjust their schedules according to their victims. If you work at night, for instance, your bed bugs will flip the script.</p></div>

Q: Does bleach in toilets stop rats?

• <div><p>Rats have a strong sense of smell and do not like the smell of bleach. However, pouring <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-bleach-down-a-drain.htm">bleach in drains or toilets</a> is not a good idea because it can cause dangerous chemical reactions and even damage your pipes. It&rsquo;s best to have a professional plumber install a rat-blocker or non-return valve instead to keep critters from crawling up the toilet. </p></div>

Q: What can you spray on garbage bags to keep animals away?

• <div><p>To keep animals away from your trash, you can spray store-bought ammonia-based cleaners on the bag or make your own spray. All you need is a spray bottle with one part ammonia and one part water. Once you&rsquo;ve sprayed the bags, keep your kids and pets away.</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>

Q: What is the best frog repellent?

• <div><p>You can make a DIY frog repellent with salt, citric acid, or vinegar. Spray the repellent around your pool to deter frogs from jumping in. </p></div>

"Every person I have dealt with either on the phone or in person has been very professional. The local manager gave me a cheaper quote than the national representative for Terminex. Extremely knowledgeable about pest control. Instead of just getting sprayed for wasps we bought a year contract to protect us against 26 different pests because it was very cost efficient. We got an extra discount if we pay for the whole year in advance. Money well spent!"
