Q: Are high-frequency bird repellent devices effective?

• <div><p>High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.</p></div>

Q: Why do birds eat grass seed?

• <div><p>Birds eat grass seed for one simple reason&mdash;it&rsquo;s delicious! The seeds are rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Seeds are also high in energy, so humans eat trail mix loaded with seeds and nuts for long-distance activities. Grass seed, when unprotected, is also exceptionally easy to access.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to be in the house after pest control?

• <div><p>Yes, it is generally safe to return to your house once the pest control professionals have granted permission. Keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll only need to evacuate your home during extreme pest control treatments, such as whole-home fumigation, while more minor treatments don&rsquo;t require leaving. When you return home, be sure to follow the pest pro&rsquo;s instructions carefully, especially those surrounding wait times and safety precautions.</p></div>

Q: What animals eat brown recluse spiders?

• <div><p>The brown recluse has numerous predators in the wild (or close to your home). They are a valuable part of the ecosystem, too. Their predators often include birds, praying mantis, crickets, chickens, spider wasps, and more. However, the brown recluse spider is a master at hiding, making it much more difficult for predators to hunt them.</p></div>
