Q: Can lanternflies infest your house?

• <div><p>Not likely. While the occasional spotted lanternfly insect may find its way in, it&rsquo;s highly unlikely that spotted lanternflies will lay eggs and eventually infest your home because they prefer to live outdoors. If you&rsquo;re concerned about the bugs getting inside, be sure to examine all humans, objects, and pets before bringing them indoors. </p></div>

Q: Can I reuse live rat traps to save money?

• <div><p>While you might want to cut corners by either borrowing or purchasing used live traps for catching rats, this can be dangerous because those traps could contain leftover viruses and bacteria that will enter your home. Always start fresh with new materials to avoid contamination.</p></div>

Q: Will fruit flies go away on their own?

• <div><p>Fruit flies are more common during warm-weather months and may go away on their own in late fall once temperatures drop. However, they can survive year-round indoors as long as there's food available, so you'll likely want to take a proactive approach to get rid of them and stop the spread of bacteria.</p></div>

Q: Are wolves afraid of humans?

• <div><p>Yes, wolves are generally afraid of humans, as well as most large carnivores, such as bears. The risk of a wolf attacking a human or killing them is very low. Biologists hypothesize that this fear was instilled over centuries of humans hunting wolves and the fact that humans have an upright posture like bears that wolves are also afraid of. Like all wildlife, it&rsquo;s best not to feed wolves and keep them at a distance from yourself and your home. </p></div>
