Q: What are squirrels afraid of?

• <div><p>Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away. Anything with an element of surprise, like motion-detecting lighting, strobe lights, and noisy wind chimes, can unsettle them. Even loud radios and voices can be perceived as threatening and terrifying to these furry critters.</p></div>

Q: How do pros prevent future termite problems?

• <div><p>Through monitoring, preventative treatments, and advising on moisture control.</p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to put a squirrel trap?

• <div><p>Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.</p></div>

Q: What does baking soda do to fleas?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s been said that baking soda can kill fleas as it may dry out eggs and larvae. However, this method has not been proven to be effective in killing fleas or other pests. However, you can use it to absorb smells so if there is a fragrance you believe is attracting fleas or ticks, you can use baking soda to rid the smell to control it.</p></div>

Q: Will a wasp sting you if you stand still?

• <div><p>A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it&rsquo;s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away. </p></div>
