Does seeing a carpenter ant indoors mean I have an infestation?

• <div><p>No. Carpenter ants range far when seeking out food, usually proteins or sugars. They may be attracted to dead pests near your house, or crumbs in the kitchen or pantry. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have an infestation, or that there is a nest nearby. However, it does mean that the ants have found a way to enter your home, so it’s time to be vigilant.</p></div>

Are wasps active at night?

• <div><p>Wasps don’t sleep in, but they are relatively inactive at night, sticking to the confines of the nest, in what’s known as a dormant state. Additionally, female wasps hibernate throughout the winter. That’s why evenings are the best time of the day to attack wasp nests.</p></div>

However, Australia has not reported deaths from a funnel web spider bite over the past few decades after developing an antivenom.</p></div>

Q: What eco-friendly pest control solutions do professionals offer?
