Q: What type of pest causes the most damage to a house?

• <div><p>Rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, silverfish, and bed bugs can all cause damage to your house, but termites are among the most destructive. These pests make their way into your home and feed on the wood, weakening its structure. They can also damage outdoor structures, such as decks or fences. You should hire an exterminator immediately if you spot signs of termites or other pests.</p></div>

Q: When should I be concerned about ants?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s normal to spot the occasional ant roaming your house, but if you&rsquo;ve applied DIY treatments that don&rsquo;t eradicate the problem, you should consider hiring a professional ant removal service. You should also be concerned about an ant infestation when these pests cause structural damage to your home by tunneling into wood features. </p></div>

Q: How do you attract an iguana to a trap?

• <div><p>Alongside selecting the best bait for an iguana trap, the location, position, and timing play a part. If the lizards have a burrow in your yard or regularly take the same route, place the trap there during the day. Iguanas are diurnal and most active during the day. A shady spot is best to keep the animal comfortable. And don&rsquo;t forget to pick a level surface or stabilize the trap with a brick&mdash;iguanas are less likely to enter if it&rsquo;s wobbly.</p></div>

Q: Will termites always come back?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s indeed no guarantee termites won&rsquo;t return to your home, even after top-notch professional treatment. In areas where these hardy pests are prevalent, it can be tricky to banish them for good.</p><p>However, maintaining preventative measures, keeping a close eye out for early signs, and purchasing an ongoing professional treatment management plan can ensure you keep termites at bay and reduce the chance of any damage. Professional whole-house <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-termite-treatments-last.htm">termite treatments can last</a> five years or more.</p></div>

Q: Does killing a wasp really attract more of them?

• <div><p>Scientists have found that the chemical traces a dying wasp releases can agitate nearby wasps and make them more aggressive. It may not necessarily attract wasps, but it will make wasps in the area more likely to investigate and feel threatened, which leads to more stings. As a result, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to swat or crush a wasp anywhere near their nest. Once you have found a nest, hire a wasp exterminator. </p></div>
