What are the signs of carpenter ants in your house?

Starting off the new year in a really rotten way: for the last week and a half I've been seeing more and more carpenter ants in my house, and it's driving me up the wall! Anyone know where they come from, what kind of harm they're capable of, and most importantly how to get rid of them???? You'd have my eternal gratitude

I’m going nuts here. Every morning I wake up and find dozens of ants wandering around in my kitchen and living room. It doesn’t seem to matter how many traps I set out or how deep I clean my home to get rid of food scraps or whatever the ants seem to be after. Does sugar water get rid of ants? I feel like I heard something like that somewhere but I have no clue if any of that stuff actually works. What will actually solve this problem? I don’t even hate ants like that, but leave my living space alone, ya know?

I recently moved into a new apartment and discovered there are roaches. We're pretty good about keeping tidy but we've gone into clean overdrive since discovering the roaches. But I'm not sure it's working. We see at least a few a week. We are pretty quick to spray them and have set traps up for them. At what point do I call a pro? What else can I do myself?

I truly, deeply hate to say it...but I'm afriad that I have bed bugs. I haven't found a beg bug YET, but I've been waking up itchy all week. I'm concerned there could be an infestation because I've heard if there's one there's usually many. How do I check for bed bugs? More importantly, what do I do?? Thank you so much!

Ugh ugh ugh, I just moved into an older building recently and noticed a lot of those gross silverfish bugs crawling all over the place. Like, I know they're not going to hurt me or do anything, but I'm still getting an icky feeling knowing that they're in my home. I just want them gone as fast as possible so I don't have to deal with them anymore. Any tips to make my place silverfish-free for good?
