Q: Why do phorid flies keep coming back?

• <div><p>Even with professional pest control and taking your own drastic measures to eliminate a phorid fly infestation, it can be difficult to get rid of these pests for good. If you find that phorid flies keep appearing in your home, it&rsquo;s very likely that you have a persistent source of moisture such as a drain leak or a cracked sewer. Another culprit could be a decaying animal carcass in your home&rsquo;s foundations.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if termites are gone after treatment?

• <div><p>First, you&rsquo;ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you&rsquo;ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don&rsquo;t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment. </p></div>

Q: How can I keep bats out of my house?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro. </p><ul><li><p><b>Seal entry points</b>, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.</p></li><li><p><b>Use bat deterrents</b> like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home. </p></li><li><p><b>Reduce bat attractions</b> like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can fleas live in human hair?

• <div><p>Typically, fleas won&rsquo;t take up residence in human hair. Their natural preference is to live on the fur of animals, but they can bite and infest humans on a temporary basis. If there is a significant flea infestation in the surrounding environment, humans may inadvertently become a host. Again, though, this is a rare occurrence. </p></div>

Q: Can an animal come down the chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it&rsquo;s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.</p></div>

"I am very happy to give King Pest Solutions a 5 Star review. Their representative, Eric, arrived on time and gave me an overview of what he was going to do to protect our house from termites. Together we walked around the perimeter of my house and he showed me the tools he was going to use and answered all my questions before getting started. The process took about 2 1/2 hours to complete and my home is now protected. Eric was efficient and knowledgeable about the process and, once again, made sure all my questions were answered before leaving. I will certainly continue to work with King Pest Solutions in the future."
