Q: What smell keeps armadillos away?

• <div><p>Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.</p><p>Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it&rsquo;s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they&rsquo;re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.</p></div>

Q: How soon should you call for wasp removal?

• <div><p>If you spot a wasp nest on your property, call a professional exterminator as quickly as possible. The longer you wait to call a pro to remove the wasps, the more you risk a painful sting. The concern is elevated if you or any family members are allergic to wasps or bees&mdash;the sooner you remove the threat, the better.</p></div>

Q: How do you find where fleas are hiding?

• <div><p>Since fleas are so tiny, the best way to find them is with a very thorough search. Focus on two specific areas. First, look where your pets spend lots of time sleeping or playing, which is where fleas are likely to linger. Second, look at ground-level fabrics like carpet, furniture upholstery and similar spots where it&rsquo;s easy for fleas to hide. While you&rsquo;re probably worried about fleas inside your home, it&rsquo;s a good idea to check outdoors around patios or outdoor chairs to see if fleas are congregating in specific spots. </p></div>

Q: Are termites hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Termites are very hard to remove, especially if you don&rsquo;t work with a professional pest control service or keep up with routine treatments. Queen termites can lay up to thousands of eggs per day, meaning these pests can spread quickly. You may need to combine DIY treatments and professional extermination services to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">get rid of a termite infestation</a>. </p></div>

Q: Will skunks leave on their own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible that skunks will leave on their own. Skunks may appear briefly on your property and move on if they cannot find food. However, waiting them out is not a foolproof solution. If the skunk finds a food source on or near your property and builds a nest, the animal will almost certainly not choose to move. If you can eliminate food sources, you&rsquo;ll have a better chance of seeing the skunk leave on its own. </p></div>
