Q: What is the best homemade raccoon repellent?

• <div><p>Homemade raccoon repellents can be a cost-effective and humane method for keeping raccoons off your property. Raccoons despise the smell of vinegar, so keeping a bowl of it near your home can keep them away. Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.</p></div>

Q: Are skunks aggressive?

• <div><p>No, skunks are not considered aggressive and are typically very gentle, mild-mannered creatures. However, when they&rsquo;re provoked, they do emit their potent spray as a defense mechanism. Skunks are also useful creatures to have near your property since they eat insects and will likely leave you and your pets alone unless they&rsquo;re startled.</p></div>

Q: What attracts moles to your yard or property?

• <div><p>The primary attractant for moles is food. With a powerful sense of smell, they seek out grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects in the soil. Other factors can also draw them in, such as moist, loose soil which makes tunneling easier, so an overwatered lawn can be an invitation. Additionally, male moles may enter your yard to expand their territory or find a mate, and if a neighbor has a mole problem, it's possible for them to tunnel over to your property.</p></div>

Q: Should I put poison in my attic to deal with an animal?

• <div><p>No, poison isn&rsquo;t the best way to deal with animals in your attic. It&rsquo;s unlikely to completely eradicate the problem, especially if you don&rsquo;t take care of access points. Also, poisoned animals may die and decay in the attic, causing noxious odors. </p><p>Some animals may leave the attic before the poison kills them, which could lead to nearby pets or other wildlife eating the animals and becoming poisoned themselves. Ultimately, it&rsquo;s better to avoid using poison and contact a professional instead.</p></div>

Q: Are mushrooms dangerous for pets?

• <div><p>As with anything ingested by animals, there is always a chance that mushrooms will be toxic. Clearing the tops of mushrooms from the soil to prevent them from being eaten by pets is always a good idea. Since poisonous mushrooms can be deadly, we recommended that any mushroom ingestion is treated as a veterinary emergency. Watch for signs of lethargy and digestive distress in any animal suspected to have eaten a mushroom and contact your vet immediately.</p></div>
