Q: Can you use Dawn to wash off flea eggs?

• <div><p>Dawn detergent does much more than <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-dishes-safely.htm">clean germs on your dishes</a>. It can also help remove flea eggs from your pet. Give your pet a bath using a few squirts of Dawn in warm water&mdash;be sure to keep it away from their eyes&mdash;to wash away those flea eggs. Note that Dawn doesn&rsquo;t actually kill the eggs, nor can it help you with any eggs that have already fallen off your pet and taken up residence in your household, though.</p></div>

Q: What causes termites?

• <div><p>Moisture issues caused by leaky pipes, improper drainage, and poor airflow create environments that are ideal for termites to thrive in. Dampwood termites prefer water-damaged wood while subterranean termites require moist environments to survive. Climate can have an impact as well, with termites preferring to live in warm and humid climates with mild temperatures year-round. However, termites are present in every state in the United States, with the exception of Alaska.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have a mouse or a rat in your house?

• <div><p>It may be better to have a mouse in your house than a rat. Rats are larger, more aggressive, and more difficult to eradicate once settled. One rat can cause more damage than one mouse. However, both animals pose a danger in that they can spread bacteria and contaminate food, so you&rsquo;ll want to contact an exterminator as soon as you detect an infestation of either animal.</p></div>

Q: When are foxes most active?

• <div><p>Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you&rsquo;re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.</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>
