Q: Are wolves afraid of humans?

• <div><p>Yes, wolves are generally afraid of humans, as well as most large carnivores, such as bears. The risk of a wolf attacking a human or killing them is very low. Biologists hypothesize that this fear was instilled over centuries of humans hunting wolves and the fact that humans have an upright posture like bears that wolves are also afraid of. Like all wildlife, it&rsquo;s best not to feed wolves and keep them at a distance from yourself and your home. </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>

Hired to mow mac not orchard, remove 3 dying trees, and trim dead branches on everything visible. Most of the slash was power mulched and spread out, simply disappeared. Larger stuff removed. On time, efficient, and all within estimated cost, no surprises. Highly recommended.
