Q: Will rodents leave on their own?

• <div><p>Like a rent-controlled apartment in New York City, rodents know a good thing when they see it. If they've found a cozy nest inside your home, they will set up camp and stay there, leaving only to forage for food and water. As long as they have a warm place to sleep, raise their young, and continue access to water and food, they're going to stick around.</p></div>

Q: How much is it to disinfect a house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-house-cleaner.htm">Hiring a professional house cleaner costs</a> between <b>$120 and $240</b> per visit. Most homeowners can expect to pay an average of <b>$170 </b>for a cleaning and disinfecting service. House cleaning services may include disinfection of high-touch surfaces, but it&rsquo;s best to ask your cleaner to be sure it&rsquo;s included in their services.</p></div>

Q: What should you do if you find a hobo spider in your home?

• <div><p>You're more likely to find a hobo spider outside rather than inside your home. If you do find one in your home, don't panic. You can remove the spider by catching it in a glass or cup and transporting it outside. You may also vacuum up the spider and remove it by emptying the vacuum bag. </p><p>If you notice more than one spider, it may be a good idea to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">local pest control company</a> to check out the situation and recommend a course of action. </p></div>

Q: Do scorpions climb into beds?

• <div><p>Yes, scorpions can and do climb into beds, but there are ways to deter them. Keep your bedding tucked in and off the ground, and move your bed away from the walls. Place glass jars around the feet of your bed to prevent scorpions from climbing up. Pair this strategy with general prevention by keeping your bedroom free of clutter, adding weatherstripping to windows, and sealing all cracks and crevices where they might get in. </p></div>

Q: What attracts brown recluse spiders?

• <div><p>The presence of insects or anything that might attract them (like food left out or poorly sealed trash cans), excessive outdoor lighting, and untended wood or cardboard boxes are just some of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-attracts-spiders.htm">what attracts spiders</a> in general.
