Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators.

Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.</p></div>

Q: Do wind chimes keep woodpeckers away?

• <div><p>Hanging wind chimes or motion-activated speakers near your home may be an effective way to deter woodpeckers, as sudden movement and sound often scare birds away.

If these measures don&rsquo;t deter the woodpeckers, you may need the help of a bird removal pro.</p></div>
