Q: What scents keep animals away?

• <div><p>The best animal repellents for gardens include a variety of different scents. You can use predator urine to keep away deer, raccoons, squirrels, and more. The odor will tell the critters that your yard is a dangerous place. Other scents that repel critters are herbs like lavender, geranium, and mint. You can also use hot pepper, garlic, and strong-smelling soap.</p></div>

Q: What attracts bats to your yard?

• <div><p>Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs&mdash;their main food source&mdash;will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.</p></div>

Q: Does a woodpecker on the house always mean termites?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers usually feed on homes when there is a food source present, and termites are one possible source. However, the presence of woodpeckers doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean there are termites. They may also be feeding on more harmless insects like ants or spiders. If woodpeckers seem drawn to one particular part of your home&rsquo;s siding, it might be worth hiring a termite inspector to check for the presence of these pesky critters.</p></div>

Q: Which animals build nests in attics?

• <div><p>Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home&rsquo;s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:</p><ul><li><p>Raccoons</p></li><li><p>Bats</p></li><li><p>Squirrels</p></li><li><p>Mice</p></li><li><p>Rats</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
