Q: What is the best deterrent for birds?

• <div><p>No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area&mdash;and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bird-removal-cost.htm">removing any bird&rsquo;s nests</a>, if possible&mdash;will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.</p></div>

Q: Will home insurance help cover bat removal costs?

• <div><p>It is possible, though unlikely, that a home insurance policy will help cover the costs of professional bat removal. However, some policies will chip in for guano removal and associated repairs, such as replacing drywall. Take some time to read the fine print of your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policy and call your provider to inquire about bat removal, guano removal, and related repairs.</p></div>

Q: Are bird and bat control methods safe for pets and children?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals use humane and safe methods. Inform your provider of any specific concerns before treatment.</p></div>

Q: Can an animal get out of a chimney on its own?

• <div><p>Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you&rsquo;ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them. </p></div>
