Q: How often do moles breed?

• <div><p>Moles breed once a year, marking March on their calendars as peak season. However, their breeding season can start as early as February and wrap up in May. Their gestation period is 4 weeks, with litters ranging from 2 to 6 little ones. They are considered all grown up by the three-month mark, making them ready for parenthood.</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: Do dryer sheets keep mice away?

• <div><p>Yes, dryer sheets can help repel mice. The strong artificial fragrances found in many dryer sheets, such as citrus, floral, or lavender, are unpleasant to mice, which are very sensitive to smells. Many people report success using them to deter mice from areas like cars, drawers, vents, and cupboards. The scent can last for many days, making the space undesirable for rodents. However, dryer sheets may not be a foolproof solution on their own. For more effective protection against rodent infestations, it is best to combine them with other preventive measures like traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent pest infestations?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, proper food storage, sealing entry points, and professional inspections help prevent infestations.</p></div>

The job was completed on time and looks great. The cement that was cleaned looks good, in addition the mold on front of house was removed. One minor issue is that at the end (about 3 feet) of the west side gutter on the front of the house some dirt is still visible on the underside of the gutter.
