Q: Can I use my dog or cat to keep rabbits away from my garden?

• <div><p>While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What&rsquo;s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.</p></div>

Q: What scents will keep foxes away?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s little scientific evidence to suggest that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-remedies-ward-wildlife.htm">homemade remedies to ward off wildlife</a> are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won&rsquo;t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle pest control myself?

• <div><p>DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a snake is venomous or not?

• <div><p>You can often spot a venomous snake by looking for a few key physical characteristics. Venomous snakes typically have bulbous triangular-shaped heads due to their venomous sacks, whereas regular snake heads are more rounded and narrow. A venomous snake will also have narrow slits for pupils, while non-venomous snakes have more rounded pupils. It&rsquo;s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the venomous snakes that are native to your area, but if you find a snake in your toilet, it&rsquo;s best to keep a safe distance and call a professional for proper identification and removal.</p></div>

Tom and his team were great. They custom fit the gutters and downspouts to my house. I would definitely recommend hiring them over larger companies whose estimates are extremely high and then are brought down by "discounts". The first price Tom gave was fair and the work was outstanding.
