Q: What’s the difference between pest control and wildlife removal?

• <div><p>Pest control and wildlife removal are different services. Pest control specialists typically handle insects and bugs, often using chemicals and poisonous sprays for extermination. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, focus on larger animals. They prioritize humane methods like trapping and relocation, using poison only as a last resort. For insect problems, contact a pest control professional; for issues with other animals, an animal or wildlife removal specialist is the correct choice.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to clean after pest control?

• <div><p>You will need to discuss with your pest control expert to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-after-pest-infestation.htm">when and what to clean after the treatment</a>. Sometimes, you may have to wait a couple of weeks for deep cleaning to avoid wiping up the treatment they applied.</p><p>However, you&rsquo;ll want to wipe down any surfaces you use for food prep and eating. Before the treatment, you&rsquo;ll also want to make sure that items such as pet dishes and children's toys won&rsquo;t be exposed to the chemicals.</p></div>

Q: How many fleas is considered an infestation?

• <div><p>Since fleas reproduce so quickly, the mere presence of one flea could mean you have an infestation on your hands. Hundreds and even thousands of fleas can lurk in your pet&rsquo;s fur, carpet, furniture, and even your body. If you see fleas jumping on household items or notice your pet scratching more than usual, those are signs of infestation.</p></div>

Q: Do stink bugs play dead?

• <div><p>Yes, stink bugs can play dead. Stink bugs don&rsquo;t just release bad odors, they have a defense mechanism to pretend to be dead, even when flicked over and swept into a trash bin. That&rsquo;s how stink bugs may keep coming back even if you thought you got rid of them. </p></div>

Q: Will pest-repellent plants kill animals?

• <div><p>Some of the plants listed above, like daffodils, are poisonous to many animals if eaten. But wild animals instinctively avoid them, for the most part. Household pets don&rsquo;t always have the same survival instinct, which is why it&rsquo;s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common plants that pose a danger to cats and dogs.</p></div>
