Q: What are the differences between moles, voles, and shrews?

• <div><p>Moles live underground and feed on insects. They dig and move through tunnels, usually in meadows or forests but sometimes in lawns and gardens. They are about 6 inches long with large claws, tiny eyes, and hidden ears. </p><p>Shrews do not dig their own tunnels but will use other animals&rsquo; tunnels, and are about 3 to 4 inches long. They look similar to mice and feed on insects.</p><p>Voles are similar in size to moles but have large eyes and small but visible ears. Rather than eating insects, voles are herbivores that prefer seeds, grasses, and plant roots.</p></div>

Q: What attracts armadillos to your yard?

• <div><p>Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.</p></div>

Q: Can you get rid of badgers naturally?

• <div><p>Badgers have a strong sense of smell, so it&rsquo;s possible you can deter them with strong scents, such as applying citronella oil to the bottom of your fence, adding crushed scotch bonnet peppers sprinkled throughout your garden, or mixing both of these into a solution to spray around your home and garden.</p></div>

Q: Are snake repellents safe to use?

• <div><p>Some snake repellents are risky to use around people and pets because they use the active ingredient in mothballs, naphthalene. The <a href="https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-09/documents/naphthalene.pdf">United States Environmental Protection Agency</a> (EPA) has classified naphthalene as a carcinogen that can cause damage to the liver, neurological issues, and cataracts. </p><p>The <a href="https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/natural-resources/coping-with-snakes-6-501/">Colorado State University Extension</a> suggests there&rsquo;s not enough conclusive evidence of the effectiveness of snake repellents to recommend their use.</p></div>

Q: What is the most effective natural deer repellent?

• <div><p>Deer rely on scent to tell them what&rsquo;s safe and unsafe, so effective deer repellents have to be pungent. Make your own natural repellent by combining a beaten egg, one tablespoon of cooking oil, one tablespoon of dish soap, and a half cup of milk. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray around your garden, avoiding anything you will want to eat later. This stinky repellent will ward off any deer that want to make your produce their next meal. But keep in mind that if your windows are nearby, the scent may waft over.</p></div>

Jeff was punctual and courteous both when he gave his bid and when he came back to complete the job. The trees in my yard were huge but he was able to safely bring them to the ground and cleaned all the mess. When he was done you couldn't even tell there had been trees in my yard.
