Q: What draws bed bugs out of hiding?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, we do. Bed bugs sense our heat signature, particularly the altered heat signature associated with sleep, and exit their hiding spots to feast.</p></div>

Q: How do you find where mice are getting in?

• <div><p>Not only are mice clever, they are also adept at squeezing in tiny cracks to get into your home. Figuring out how rodents are getting in is key to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-you-get-rid-mice.htm">getting rid of mice quickly and humanely</a>. Check these areas for entry points:</p><ul><li><p>Basement or crawl space</p></li><li><p>The garage </p></li><li><p>Gaps in the foundation</p></li><li><p>The roof or attic</p></li><li><p>Underneath and around pipes, drains, electrical wiring, and gas lines</p></li><li><p>Around doors and windows</p></li><li><p>Baseboards</p></li><li><p>Kitchen cabinets</p></li><li><p>Behind appliances</p></li><li><p>Air vents</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What should I do if I’m attacked by a swarm of wasps?

• <div><p>Stay calm and avoid acting like a threat. Avoid swatting at the wasps or yelling, which will agitate wasps and make them more likely to attack. Instead, move away at a slow, steady pace in one direction, getting as much distance between you and the wasps as possible. </p><p>Wasps swarm to protect their nest, so moving far away indicates you are not a threat and they should subside. Do not try to handle a wasp nest filled with agitated wasps. Wait until they call down before you take action, or trust in a professional.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if an infestation is from rats or mice?

• <div><p>To determine if you have a rat or mouse infestation, look for several key differences. The most obvious is the size of the rodent: rats are significantly larger with thicker bodies, while mice are much smaller and more slender. You can also identify them by their droppings; rat droppings are larger and rounder, about the size of a raisin, while mouse droppings are smaller, like a grain of rice, and often have pointed ends. Other signs include the sounds they make, as rats produce louder scratching and gnawing noises due to their size. Behaviorally, rats tend to be more cautious, whereas mice are more curious and might be seen more often. Additionally, rat nests are typically larger than those of mice. If you are unable to see the pest or find clear evidence, a professional inspection can provide a definitive identification.</p></div>

Q: Does killing a wasp really attract more of them?

• <div><p>Scientists have found that the chemical traces a dying wasp releases can agitate nearby wasps and make them more aggressive. It may not necessarily attract wasps, but it will make wasps in the area more likely to investigate and feel threatened, which leads to more stings. As a result, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to swat or crush a wasp anywhere near their nest. Once you have found a nest, hire a wasp exterminator. </p></div>

Not only are mice clever, they are also adept at squeezing in tiny cracks to get into your home. Figuring out how rodents are getting in is key to getting rid of mice quickly and humanely. Check these areas for entry points:

Around doors and windows
Baseboards
Kitchen cabinets
Behind appliances
Air vents
