Q: Are there risks with pest control?

• <div><p>Some pest control treatments, such as spraying insecticides or bug bombs, can cause severe health problems for your household members if you are improperly exposed to them. That's why putting away pet toys, dishes, bedding, children's toys and items is essential. Pest technicians are trained to reduce risk, but it's best to take caution by avoiding the risk of items being accidentally sprayed. Discuss any concerns you may have with your pest control specialist.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung?

• <div><p>The truth is you may not be able to get rid of a wasp nest without getting stung unless you hire an insect control specialist. As far as getting rid of wasps with home remedies, a far-reaching commercial spray or an insecticidal dust are your best options with the lowest risk of getting stung. Wearing protective gear can also help minimize stings.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about termites in my yard?

• <div><p>Yes, termites in your yard can be something to be concerned about, especially if they&rsquo;re close to your home. While not all outdoor colonies pose an immediate threat, termites can move from wood piles, tree stumps, or mulch, eventually making their way to your home&rsquo;s structure. If you see mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarming activity, it&rsquo;s a good idea to schedule a professional termite inspection to prevent potential infestation. </p></div>
