Q: How can I distinguish between bees and wasps?

• <div><p>Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.</p></div>

Q: Should I try to remove a bee's nest myself?

• <div><p>You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-honey-bees.htm">honey bees</a> can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.</p></div>

Q: Can scorpions climb walls?

• <div><p>Scorpions can climb walls with rough surfaces (like stucco siding). They need something to grip onto, which is why they can easily climb on clothes, comforters on beds, and other items in your home.</p><p>However, it&rsquo;s worth noting that scorpions cannot climb clean glass. So if you have a hole or damaged area where scorpions are coming in, a temporary fix may be to secure a piece of glass over the area.</p></div>

Q: Does flying ants mean you have termites?

• <div><p>Not necessarily. If you see a swarm of flying insects, it could be flying ants or termites, but not always both. However, since these winged pests are attracted to moist and rotting wood, there&rsquo;s a chance that both species are present at the same time.</p></div>

Q: Where is the best place to put a squirrel trap?

• <div><p>Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.</p></div>
