Q: What's worse: fleas or bed bugs?

• <div><p>Flea and bed bug infestations are equally difficult (and gross) to remove from your home, requiring professional treatments and long-term follow-up prevention. However, fleas are worse pests to have in your home because they can carry and spread disease to your pets and household members. You should take action to eradicate fleas and bed bugs as soon as you spot them in your home.</p></div>

Q: When are brown recluse spiders most active?

• <div><p>Brown recluse spiders are most active at night. As the name &ldquo;recluse&rdquo; suggests, they prefer the dark, which is when they hunt small insects and other spiders. Regarding the time of year, brown recluses are more likely to be seen during warmer months, typically between March and October. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you seal bees in a wall?

• <div><p>If you seal bees in a wall and don&rsquo;t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they&rsquo;ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That&rsquo;s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.</p></div>

Q: Will a dryer kill bed bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes. As long as the dryer isn&rsquo;t stuffed to the brim, you can run it on high for about 30 minutes to kill bed bugs at all life stages. This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.</p></div>

Q: Which is more aggressive, a wasp or bee?

• <div><p>Wasps tend to be more aggressive and defensive than bees. Both will sting to defend themselves or their colony or nest. But many bees have barbed stingers, which means they can&rsquo;t pull them out of the skin after stinging, allowing them to sting only once. When provoked, wasps can sting multiple times, making them a more menacing pest. </p></div>
