Q: What time of year is best for treating chinch bugs?

• <div><p>Summer is the best time of year to treat chinch bugs. Check the instructions on the treatment method or consult a pest control pro for timing recommendations. You want to wait for chinch bugs to have a chance at coming out of hibernation and move around, but not too long that they start doing damage. Aim for around mid to late spring for most chinch treatments. </p></div>

Q: What attracts brown recluse spiders to your house?

• <div><p>Brown recluse spiders are attracted to homes in search of warm, dry, and dark spots that provide easy access to insects. An existing bug problem is a primary attractant, as spiders follow their food source. Other factors that attract brown recluse spiders include the presence of anything that might lure insects, such as food left out or poorly sealed trash cans. They are also drawn to excessive outdoor lighting, untended wood or cardboard boxes, and dark areas with nooks and crannies for nesting, like woodpiles or dirt piles.</p></div>

Q: Are silverfish dangerous to have in my home?

• <div><p>They&rsquo;re a nuisance, but silverfish aren&rsquo;t nearly as dangerous as other pests like cockroaches, mice, termites or bed bugs. They don&rsquo;t carry diseases that humans or pets can catch, and they don&rsquo;t cause widespread destruction like termites or rats. Silverfish are small and find it very easy to get inside any exposed foodstuffs. Like weevils, you may find them in unprotected flour, cereal, grains, bread boxes, chip packages and more. They will happily nibble fabric and paper as well, so they can cause damage to furniture, clothing, books, bedding, curtains and other materials.</p></div>

Q: Are bees in a wall dangerous?

• <div><p>Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.</p><p>Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.</p></div>

Q: What is a natural way to repel bears?

• <div><p>Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal&rsquo;s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it&rsquo;s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.</p></div>
