Will silverfish crawl on me in my sleep?

• <div><p>Silverfish can crawl on you in your sleep. They enjoy consuming dandruff and will crawl on your scalp for nourishment.

Which is more aggressive, a wasp or bee?

Kevin has trapped three skunks and a possum in my yard. He is the most professional and reasonable . Itâ s been horrible dealing with the smell and fear of being sprayed but Kevin has come to my rescue more times than you can imagine. I will hire him for all my pest control from now on.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The best way to get rid of fruit flies usually involves a cleaning and checking to make sure food sources are sealed away. However, if you have a major infestation, you can try making a fruit fly trap, or calling a bug control service near you, to address the problem.

Silverfish can crawl on you in your sleep. They enjoy consuming dandruff and will crawl on your scalp for nourishment. They can also find their way to your hairbrushes and anywhere you’ve shed dandruff. It’s important to keep pillowcases, sheets and brushes clean to avoid making your bed hospitable for unwanted guests.

To determine if you have a rat or mouse infestation, look at the size and appearance of droppings—rat droppings are larger, about the size of a raisin, while mouse droppings are smaller and rice-sized. Rats are bigger and have thicker bodies, while mice are smaller, with slender bodies. You may also hear different sounds; rats make louder scratching and gnawing noises due to their size. Additionally, rats tend to be more cautious, whereas mice are more curious and might be seen more often.

Wasps tend to be more aggressive and defensive than bees. Both will sting to defend themselves or their colony or nest. But many bees have barbed stingers, which means they can’t pull them out of the skin after stinging, allowing them to sting only once. When provoked, wasps can sting multiple times, making them a more menacing pest.

Brown recluse spiders—and other species of spiders—invite themselves into your home in search of a warm, dry, dark spot with easy access to insects. Food sources, like the insects that live in your house, often attract spiders to your home, so if you’ve got a bug problem, you’ll probably have spiders moving in quickly.
