Q: Can badgers benefit the environment?

• <div><p>Yes, badgers can benefit the environments they live in. As they dig and feed, they carry and disperse seeds, which helps plants spread and grow. They also build tunnels that other species, like rabbits and foxes, can move into. However, these benefits may not be desirable on your property, and badger removal may be preferable.</p></div>

Q: Why is a raccoon hanging around my house?

• <div><p>A raccoon may be hanging around your house for convenient access to food, water, or shelter. They may drink water out of puddles, pools, ponds, fountains, or your pet&rsquo;s water bowls. Raccoons are also known to eat just about anything, including food from gardens and waste from unsecured trash cans.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if termites are gone after treatment?

• <div><p>First, you&rsquo;ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you&rsquo;ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don&rsquo;t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment. </p></div>

Q: Who removes a hornet nest?

• <div><p>You should hire a wasp or hornet removal professional to get rid of an active or dormant hornet nest. Due to the feisty and dangerous nature of these pests, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional who has the proper skills, tools, and experience to remove a nest safely. Do not attempt to remove an active hornet nest on your own.</p></div>
