Q: Will a bobcat go after my pets?

• <div><p>Bobcats do attack domesticated animals, like small dogs and cats. Your pets are especially at risk if they&rsquo;re below 30 pounds. The best way to protect your pets is to keep them safely indoors at night when bobcats are more likely to be roaming or being outside with your pets so they&rsquo;re not unaccompanied.</p></div>

Q: Where are fleas most likely to hide?

• <div><p>Fleas <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/where-do-fleas-hide.htm">are master hiders</a>, so they&rsquo;re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they&rsquo;re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They&rsquo;re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it&rsquo;s important to keep the home clean. </p></div>

Q: How do I prevent moles in my yard?

• <div><p>There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.</p><p>Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-stop-moles-wrecking-your-lawn.htm">prevent moles from destroying your yard</a>. </p><p>Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.</p></div>

Q: What are common pests in commercial spaces?

• <div><p>Cockroaches, ants, flies, bed bugs, and termites are common in business environments.</p></div>

Q: Do natural pools attract pests like mosquitoes?

• <div><p>Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.</p></div>
