Q: What does a rat nest look like?

• <div><p>A rat nest often looks like a messy, loosely formed pile hidden in a quiet spot. It may appear as a ball-shaped cluster or just a scattered heap made from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, leaves, twigs, and other soft materials.

Q: Do stink bugs bite?

• <div><p>Stink bugs are herbivores, so they do not bite. Their mouths are designed for feeding on plants. They do not have a stinger either, so the worst part of these pests is the foul odor they emit when they are disturbed. However, you want to avoid allowing an infestation to set in, so you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-call-exterminator-pests-leave-pros.htm">calling an exterminator</a> if you are struggling to get rid of them. </p></div>

Q: Why are there suddenly bugs in my house?

• <div><p>Having bugs in our houses is quite normal. However, if you notice a sudden uptick in quantity, there's often a reason behind it. Seasonal weather changes, particularly warm to cool, drive bugs indoors as they look for comfort. Structural damage to your home can open up new ways for them to get in, and a new water leak somewhere in the house can invite them to get comfortable.</p></div>
