However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it&rsquo;s not a permanent or long-term solution. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.</p></div>

Q: What does a termite infestation look like?

• <div><p>There are some clear signs of a termite infestation, including damaged drywall, bubbling under paint, peeling paint, sagging or loose boards, and more. Termites typically leave behind a trail on the surface and interior of your drywall as they chew through it. Look for small, pin-sized holes in drywall or wallpaper to determine whether termites have made their way inside. </p></div>

Q: What keeps fleas off you?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re heading outdoors, wear long sleeves and pants to minimize skin exposure. You may also want to wear clothing and any additional gear, like backpacks or tents, treated with 0.5% permethrin. If you&rsquo;re dealing with fleas at home, you may want to wear insect repellant and vacuum your bed, carpets, and upholstery frequently to minimize fleas.</p></div>

Q: What scent drives rodents away?
