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: How do you attract an iguana to a trap?

• <div><p>Alongside selecting the best bait for an iguana trap, the location, position, and timing play a part. If the lizards have a burrow in your yard or regularly take the same route, place the trap there during the day. Iguanas are diurnal and most active during the day. A shady spot is best to keep the animal comfortable. And don&rsquo;t forget to pick a level surface or stabilize the trap with a brick&mdash;iguanas are less likely to enter if it&rsquo;s wobbly.</p></div>

Q: Can you spray bug spray in air vents?

• <div><p>You should not spray pesticides of any kind into your air vents. The spray won&rsquo;t reach far into the vent, minimizing its effectiveness in killing roaches, but more importantly, it&rsquo;s dangerous for people and pets to inhale these chemicals. Roach spray is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-organic-roach-killer-options-are-available.htm">natural roach repellent</a>, and it&rsquo;s not safe to spray into air vents.</p></div>
