Q: Are roaches less likely in second stories of homes?

• <div><p>Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.</p></div>

Q: Can I use my dog or cat to keep rabbits away from my garden?

• <div><p>While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What&rsquo;s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for a pest control service for businesses?

• <div><p>Most treatments take 1-3 hours, but severe infestations may require multiple visits.</p></div>

Q: Can I control mosquitoes myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with sprays and traps. Professional services provide comprehensive and long-lasting solutions.</p></div>
