Q: Is wasp removal free?

• <div><p>Wasp removal is challenging for pros and novices and carries the risk of painful stings. Therefore, it&rsquo;s not surprising that wasp removal is not free. You can save money by going the DIY route, but paying a professional exterminator increases the chance of effective removal&mdash;and keeps you from painful wasp stings.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals away from my plants?

• <div><p>You can take multiple approaches to keep animals out of your edible landscape. You can use natural repellents such as mint and cayenne pepper to deter them from your garden. You can also build a fence (or opt for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/privet-hedge.htm">privet hedge</a>) or keep the most enticing plants in a sectioned-off area. The most efficient method of keeping your four-legged guests at bay is to determine what animal it is and create a customized plan for them. </p></div>

Q: Are high-frequency bird repellent devices effective?

• <div><p>High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.</p></div>

Q: Can an animal get out of a chimney on its own?

• <div><p>Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you&rsquo;ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them. </p></div>

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>
