Q: Are drain flies harmful?

• <div><p>Drain flies aren&rsquo;t likely to make you sick and typically aren&rsquo;t harmful to humans. They don&rsquo;t bite or sting; however, they can cause allergies. In some individuals, they can also trigger asthma. The main issue with these little bugs is that they&rsquo;re annoying, unsightly, and unsanitary. Like all flies, they can spread bacteria from garbage or your sewer system.</p></div>

Q: What will kill flea eggs?

• <div><p>Flea eggs can&rsquo;t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue. </p><p>Flea eggs also can&rsquo;t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer. </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: Are snake repellents safe to use?

• <div><p>Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The <a href="https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-09/documents/naphthalene.pdf">United States Environmental Protection Agency</a> (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts. </p><p>The <a href="https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/natural-resources/coping-with-snakes-6-501/">Colorado State University Extension</a> suggests there&rsquo;s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.</p></div>

Q: Who removes a hornet nest?

• <div><p>You should hire a wasp or hornet removal professional to get rid of an active or dormant hornet nest. Due to the feisty and dangerous nature of these pests, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional who has the proper skills, tools, and experience to remove a nest safely. Do not attempt to remove an active hornet nest on your own.</p></div>

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Drain flies aren’t likely to make you sick and typically aren’t harmful to humans. They don’t bite or sting; however, they can cause allergies. In some individuals, they can also trigger asthma. The main issue with these little bugs is that they’re annoying, unsightly, and unsanitary. Like all flies, they can spread bacteria from garbage or your sewer system.

Flea eggs can’t take heat, so use that information to your advantage. Take any affected clothes and linens and wash them on a hot setting (140℉ or higher) to kill them off. You can also rid carpets and furniture using heat. After vacuuming all surfaces thoroughly, use a steam mop or cleaner to get rid of the remaining flea eggs and residue.

Flea eggs also can’t handle extreme cold. You could seal affected linens and store them in a freezer.

Luckily, spiders rarely “infest” a home like many other pests. They don’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.

Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts.

The Colorado State University Extension suggests there’s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.

You should hire a wasp or hornet removal professional to get rid of an active or dormant hornet nest. Due to the feisty and dangerous nature of these pests, it’s best to hire a professional who has the proper skills, tools, and experience to remove a nest safely. Do not attempt to remove an active hornet nest on your own.
