Q: What is the best deterrent for birds?

• <div><p>No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area&mdash;and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bird-removal-cost.htm">removing any bird&rsquo;s nests</a>, if possible&mdash;will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.</p></div>

Q: Where do fleas like to hide in the bed?

• <div><p>Like many pests, fleas hide in dark, sheltered areas, including in the bed. They will seek out crevices in a mattress, so they have easy access to their hosts (you and your pets) as well as somewhere that is warm and hidden. You may also find fleas hiding in carpeting and other furniture.</p></div>

Q: Does rubber mulch attract mice?

• <div><p>Rubber mulch doesn&rsquo;t attract mice. Unlike organic mulches, which can serve as food and nesting material for mice, rubber mulch has no nutritional value or comfortable nesting spots, making it less appealing to rodents. </p></div>

Q: How do you tell what kind of wasp you have?

• <div><p>The easiest way to tell what kind of wasp you have is to identify its size, markings, color, and the type of nest it builds. These factors can help differentiate one type of wasp from another, since there are hundreds of thousands of different species. If you need help identifying the wasp type, consult a local pest control professional.</p></div>
