How do I prevent rats and mice from getting into the attic?

• <div><p>Preventing rats and mice from getting into the attic can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to keep them looking elsewhere for a new place to call home:</p><ul><li><p>Block or cover any potential access holes</p></li><li><p>Keep piles or stacks of firewood or other materials away from the house</p></li><li><p>Seal food and garbage in containers to prevent rodents from chewing through or getting in</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Will I still see fleas after bombing?

• <div><p>Yes, there’s a chance you will still see fleas after bombing since it takes about 24 hours for fleas to die off. If your infestation is severe or fleas are hiding in inaccessible areas, you’re even more likely to see a few remaining stragglers inside your home. If this is the case, you may want to contact your exterminator and see what your options are for removal or treatment.</p></div>

Q: Do these spiders resemble brown recluse spiders?

• <div><p>Yes, both hobo and wolf spiders resemble brown recluse spiders, both in habitat and physical appearance. However, these species lack the tell-tale violin-shaped markings under the head that classify a brown recluse. Both species also have shorter legs than the dreaded brown recluse.</p></div>

Q: Will leaving lights on keep roaches away?

• <div><p>No, leaving the lights on will not effectively keep roaches away. While roaches are nocturnal and prefer darkness, they don&rsquo;t avoid lit areas entirely, especially if there&rsquo;s access to food, water, or shelter. In some cases, roaches may even adapt to light if it means survival, and this becomes even easier if there is clutter and other potential hiding spots available. Instead of relying on lights, focus on eliminating food crumbs, sealing entry points, and reducing clutter and moisture to make your home less inviting to roaches. </p></div>

Q: What pest is most damaging to a house?

• <div><p>By sheer dollar amount, nothing equals a bad <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/termite-damage-repair-cost.htm">termite infestation</a> that can ruin walls, floors, roofs and wooden support materials, requiring massive reconstruction after the pest problem has been taken care of. However, a bad rodent infestation can also cause a lot of damage, as can carpenter ants and bees that made hives within walls. </p></div>
