Q: What time of year are termites most active and do the most damage?

• <div><p>Termites are most active and cause the most damage in the spring and summer, when warm temperatures and increased moisture accelerate their activity. This is also when swarming typically occurs, allowing colonies to expand. However, termites remain active year-round, especially in warmer climates or heated homes. An established colony can continue to damage wood 365 days a year, even during cold weather.</p></div>

Q: How many fleas is considered an infestation?

• <div><p>Since fleas reproduce so quickly, the mere presence of one flea could mean you have an infestation on your hands.

If you see fleas jumping on household items or notice your pet scratching more than usual, those are signs of infestation.</p></div>

Q: Can I use bleach to kill fruit flies?

• <div><p>You can use bleach to kill fruit flies, but it's not the best option because bleach can be toxic to people when used on surfaces. It also isn't as effective as killing flies in drains, as it passes through the drain too quickly to do a thorough job.</p></div>
