Q: What part of the year are rats more active?

• <div><p>Across most of the United States, the fall season sees rats at their prime activity levels. As temperatures drop, rats become more active, spurred by the weather shift to seek shelter as winter approaches. During this time, their curiosity and energy peak, driving them to explore what your home and its surroundings might offer.</p></div>

Q: Can pest control prevent bugs and insects from returning?

• <div><p>Proactive measures like sealing entry points and regular maintenance treatments help keep your home pest-free.</p></div>

Q: What can I do to help prevent ticks?

• <div><p>Ticks love to hide in long grass, mulch beds, leaf piles, and wooded areas, so minimizing these things in your yard can help stop them from making a home there. If you live in an area with lots of wildlife, it's also helpful to put up a fence so that deer and other animals don't bring ticks into your yard.</p></div>

Q: What attracts wasps around the home?

• <div><p>Wasps are attracted to three primary things: Bright colors, food sources, and softened wood they can use for nests. They are more active in warmer months, which is when outdoor flowers and dinners also become more common. You can decrease the attention of wasps by keeping trash bins closed and avoiding bright flower colors in furniture or tablecloths. </p></div>

Q: What if my stump is infested with insects?

• <div><p>If your stump has a pest problem, don&rsquo;t worry; it won&rsquo;t slow down the stump grinding process. It might even speed it up. But you may want to contact pest control afterward if it looks like a spreading infestation. </p></div>
