Q: At what temperature do bed bugs die cold?

• <div><p>To freeze bed bugs, they&rsquo;ll need to be exposed to very low temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for at least 4 days. You can use a remote thermostat to determine when the infested item reaches 0 degrees. Keep in mind that bed bug professionals have the high-quality tools and equipment needed to eradicate bugs using extreme cold, so it&rsquo;s best to hire a pro for this method.</p></div>

Q: What does rat killer poison do to the human body?

• <div><p>Rat poison that contains an anticoagulant like warfarin can cause bleeding, chills, confusion, extreme fatigue, headache, convulsions, lightheadedness, and seizures. Anticoagulants prevent your blood from forming clots, which can result in uncontrolled bleeding both internally and externally. Other types of rat poison that aren't anticoagulants attack your liver, kidneys, and digestive system. They can suppress your breathing and heart rate, causing low blood oxygen and poor circulation. Burning in your throat and gastric discomfort are common symptoms.</p></div>

Q: How quickly can termites damage a house?

• <div><p>The time it takes for termites to damage a house varies, but it generally does not happen within days or weeks. Significant structural damage typically takes several months or years to occur, with serious damage often taking 3 to 8 years. The rate of destruction depends on factors like the termite colony's size and maturity, the type of wood they are feeding on, and local conditions. It can take 3 to 5 years for damage to become visible and 5 to 6 years for the home's structural integrity to be compromised. However, some species, such as Subterranean termites, are more destructive and can cause extensive damage in as little as 2 years. Because of this risk, it is important to treat your home as soon as you notice any signs of termites.</p></div>

Q: What will kill flea eggs?

• <div><p>Flea eggs can&rsquo;t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue. </p><p>Flea eggs also can&rsquo;t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer. </p></div>

Q: Do exterminators spray inside cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, exterminators spray inside kitchen and other cabinets as part of a whole-home pest control treatment, especially when eradicating bugs that like to hide there, like roaches and ants. If you spot a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-rid-your-pantry-pests.htm">pest infestation in your pantry</a> or cabinets, be sure to show your pest control pro which areas have the most traffic.</p></div>
