Q: Are German cockroach traps safe for pets?

• <div><p>Gel bait and gel bait traps use poison to kill cockroaches, and aren&rsquo;t safe to use around pets. Many gel bait traps are called &ldquo;child-resistant,&rdquo; but this only means that the traps are hard to rip open for children. Large pets and children are still able to swallow them. If you use gel bait, use it in areas where pets and children can&rsquo;t access them, such as under a washing machine. Another option is to use glue traps, which don&rsquo;t contain pesticides and are safe to use around pets. </p></div>

Q: Are there bird's nest removal tools?

• <div><p>Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird&rsquo;s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.</p></div>

Q: What is the number one termite killer?

• <div><p>One of the most widespread chemicals used for killing termites is Fipronil. It&rsquo;s one of the most common insecticides used by termite exterminators to kill termites fast. However, it&rsquo;s toxic and generally used in outdoor areas only. Popular brand names of termite killers include Taurus, Bifen, Termidor, and BioAdvanced. All insecticides have pros and cons: Some are safer around humans but don&rsquo;t last as long. Some may kill nearby plants or have power odors. Some are designed for safe indoor bait stations but take much longer to work.</p></div>
