The correct answer is: FALSE.
There are no known scents that deter bedbugs. The best defenses against these nefarious pests are:
- Check for and seal any cracks in exterior of building.
- Have the facility cleaned on a regular basis.
- Check any secondhand furniture for bedbugs or their eggs.
- Watch for reddish stains from crushed bedbugs and patches of dark brown in cracks, crevices and even on walls near the furniture.
- If possible, thoroughly wash any items that have come into contact with bedbugs.
- If the infestation persists, you will most likely need to call a professional. Bedbugs can escape through walls and floors and spread to other rooms.
The correct answer is: TRUE.

Be sure to replace water-damaged wood in your facility as soon as possible, to keep ants from establishing a feeding area. Here are a few more tips to keep them out:

- Landscape beds should not be any deeper than two inches, and should be at least twelve inches from your foundation.
- Try to keep vegetation cleared from around the perimeter of your facility.
- Direct rainwater away from the building, and do not let it empty near the foundation.
- Plug and seal all cracks and openings in the building.
- Remove all stumps and dead limbs from your property to eliminate potential nesting sites for ants.
- Immediately seal any leaks in your roof or plumbing, and routinely check basements and crawl spaces for excess moisture.
