Q: Are squirrels aggressive?

• <div><p>Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people.

If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.</p></div>

Q: What attracts snakes?

• <div><p>Snakes love yards where they can access pet food, insects, and rodents.
