Q: Will bees go away on their own?

• <div><p>In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it&rsquo;s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can&rsquo;t count on the bees leaving naturally. It&rsquo;s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.</p></div>

Q: Will a wasp sting you if you stand still?

• <div><p>A wasp is less likely to sting you if you remain still and calm when it lands on your or flies around you. Most wasps only sting when they feel threatened or disturbed, which is how they may interpret rapid movement or swatting. This is why it&rsquo;s best to suppress movement and wait for the wasp to fly away. </p></div>

Q: Can you remove a wasp nest yourself?

• <div><p>You can remove a wasp nest yourself, but it isn&rsquo;t a good idea. Although it looks easy enough to hit down a nest with a broom, wasps may be inside or around the nest and are known for getting aggressive when their nest is threatened. If you follow our guidelines for removing wasps nests with pesticide spray, insecticidal dust, water and dish soap, or boiling water, you may be able to safely tackle the problem.</p></div>

Q: Do crawl spaces attract bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier&mdash;called <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/seal-wet-crawl-space-encapsulation.htm">crawl space encapsulation</a>&mdash;on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.</p></div>

Q: Does vinegar deter moles?

• <div><p>A solution of vinegar and water can deter moles, but be careful about the strength of the solution. Too much vinegar can dry out and kill grass or other plants when distributed too frequently.</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!
