Q: Can bears smell food in your house?

• <div><p>Yes, bears can smell through walls if they are close enough. Estimates vary, but experts say bears can smell up to a maximum distance between one and 20 miles. Food inside a house does not attract bears to the degree that food left outside does, though.</p></div>

Q: What's worse: fleas or bed bugs?

• <div><p>Flea and bed bug infestations are equally difficult (and gross) to remove from your home, requiring professional treatments and long-term follow-up prevention. However, fleas are worse pests to have in your home because they can carry and spread disease to your pets and household members. You should take action to eradicate fleas and bed bugs as soon as you spot them in your home.</p></div>

Q: What plants and scents deter stink bugs?

• <div><p>Stink bugs hate strong, fragrant scents like clove, lemongrass, spearmint, and Ylang Ylang, so you can use essential oils as a natural deterrent. (Always keep them out of reach of your pets!) In the garden, plants like lavender, garlic, and catnip can ward off stink bugs thanks to their pungent aroma. Also, avoid decorating with white, as stink bugs are oddly attracted to it. </p></div>

Q: What are hawks afraid of?

• <div><p>Hawks might seem like fearless predators, but these smart birds do know what other animals to be cautious around. Hawks are naturally wary of humans and predators that see them or their eggs as a potential meal or threat. This list includes owls, crows, eagles, and even snakes or raccoons.</p></div>
