Q: Will wasps return?

• <div><p>Though it might look like the same wasps keep returning to your home year after year, most wasps do not return to the same nesting site. Instead, it&rsquo;s far more likely that your home is attractive to wasps, encouraging different wasps to nest there come nesting season. Consider taking steps to prevent wasps to prevent a new group from coming next year.</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: Can you stay in your house while fumigating if you're only bug bombing one room?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t stay in your house while fumigating, even if it&rsquo;s only one room. When using a bug bomb or fogger in any area of your home, the entire home must be fully prepped and everyone must leave regardless of how many rooms are being fumigated. If you'll be booking a stay overnight to give your home time to air out, factor the hotel room into your total <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fumigation-cost.htm">fumigation cost</a>.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Should you leave the wasp nest alone?

• <div><p>If a small hive is far enough from your home and doesn&rsquo;t seem to pose a threat to the health of anyone, then you can opt to leave it alone. They are still pollinators; if you have a garden, they&rsquo;ll tackle some gardening work for you and produce helpful results without harming you. </p></div>

Q: What will kill adult fleas?

• <div><p>The same heat treatment that&rsquo;s effective on flea eggs will also destroy the adults. There are four stages of the flea life cycle&mdash;egg, larva, pupa, and adult&mdash;and you&rsquo;ll have to keep all of them in mind when taking on a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-pests-most-likely-invade-your-home-and-how-get-rid-them.htm">pest infestation in your home</a>.</p></div>

"Fantastic service. This service is well worth the price. Spraying the cellar kills the termites in the cellar but Terminix goes the extra step by placing bait outside the house. This lures the termites away from the house and they carry poison back to their nest.Terminix also guarantees their work as a protection against future damage to the house.Fantastic and professional service. I definitely recommend Terminix."

Roof repairs and service

"I noticed we had some water leaking around all three of the vent pipes going through our roof. I called and talked to John, who gave me a competitive quote, and we set up an appointment two days later. Eric and Jerry showed up on time and in about an hour, they replaced the boots around the vent pipes, sealed them, sealed around the chimney, and also sealed a dozen or more nail pops in the roof that they found while inspecting it. They showed before and after pictures of all the work. They were extremely nice and professional. Although I hope to never have a roof leak again, I'll certainly call Roof Repair Experts again when I do!"
