How do I keep pests away from my garden?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to keep pesky bugs away from your garden. One option you have is to plant flowers so beneficial insects like ladybugs can control pests for you. A similar method is companion planting, which means you’ll grow vegetables that’ll discourage pests, like garlic, onions, and basil. The best pest prevention method will depend on the bugs you have issues with and the plants in your garden. </p></div>

Which is more aggressive, a wasp or bee?

• <div><p>Wasps tend to be more aggressive and defensive than bees. Both will sting to defend themselves or their colony or nest. But many bees have barbed stingers, which means they can’t pull them out of the skin after stinging, allowing them to sting only once. When provoked, wasps can sting multiple times, making them a more menacing pest. </p></div>

Q: Can termites be killed without tenting?

• <div><p>Yes, in some cases, but only if you&rsquo;re dealing with subterranean termites. These colonies live in the soil and can often be treated using liquid barriers or bait systems. Drywood termites are much more destructive and often require whole-structure fumigation to fully eradicate them. If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">how to get rid of termites</a> without tenting, it&rsquo;s best to consult a pest control professional to assess the type and severity of your infestation. </p></div>

Q: Do bed bugs go away on their own?

• <div><p>Bed bugs typically will not go away on their own. If there are no humans or animals around, they will need to leave to find a host for feeding. But otherwise, bed bugs can live for several months to a year, and the adult females can lay hundreds more eggs in their lifetime. An infestation is only likely to get worse without <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-reputable-pest-control-service.htm">hiring an exterminator.</a></p></div>

Q: What smells keep hornets away?

• <div><p>The best hornet repellent includes a variety of essential oils such as peppermint, clove, geranium, and lemongrass, all of which have a pungent smell that hornets can&rsquo;t stand. </p></div>
