Get matched with top pest control specialists in Spencer, VA

Q: Are roaches less likely in second stories of homes?

• <div><p>Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.</p></div>

Q: How long can fleas live without a host?

• <div><p>Adult fleas can live from a few days to about two weeks without a host. If pets are not available, fleas may feed on rodents or people. While adult fleas need a blood source to survive, flea pupae can lie dormant for up to a year in optimal conditions. Therefore, cleaning and treating the infested area is essential to prevent pupae from surviving and hatching later.</p></div>

Q: Do misters keep mosquitoes away?

• <div><p>Yes, water misters can temporarily keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away, as these will wet their wings and make them unable to fly. However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it&rsquo;s not a permanent or long-term solution. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle flea control at home without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY flea control includes regular cleaning, vacuuming, and using flea sprays or collars, useful for mild cases.</p></div>

Q: What causes aphid infestation?

• <div><p>Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there&rsquo;s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/planting-pollinators.htm">pollinator plants and habitats</a> to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.</p></div>
