Q: When are raccoons most active?

• <div><p>Raccoons are primarily crepuscular and nocturnal, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and throughout the night. While less common, they may come out during the day to find food, especially in warm months or during the spring birthing season (April and May) when caring for their young. Seasonally, raccoons are active year-round and do not truly hibernate. However, during periods of severe cold, they will often remain in their dens for extended periods.</p></div>

Q: Can you prevent spider infestations before they begin?

• <div><p>Luckily, spiders rarely &ldquo;infest&rdquo; a home like many other pests. They don&rsquo;t tend to live in groups except when first born, and prefer their space. But you can prevent them from gaining entry by making sure your home is well-sealed and free of other insects. You can also lay down barrier sprays or powders designed to repel or kill spiders. Professionals can also lay down these barriers to prevent future spider problems.</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: 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>

My house has never been cleaner, she cleaned places I would have never thought about. She did my vaulted ceilings and lights to go with it, and it turned out amazing along with every other room in my house! She cleaned phenomenally and cannot wait for the next cleaning!
