Q: Will tick treatment prevent ticks from returning?

Q: Do bats come back to the same place every night?

• <div><p>This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they&rsquo;ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.</p></div>

Q: Where are roof rats typically found?

• <div><p>Roof rats get their name because they&rsquo;re most often found in attics or the area around the attic. They often use tree limbs that hang over a roof to get into a home&rsquo;s attic and look for shelter. Once inside, they not only like the attic space but can also burrow themselves into soffits or small holes in the ceiling and build their nest.</p></div>

Q: Do rats come back after a successful extermination?

• <div><p>If rats found a spot they liked to build a nest, then it&rsquo;s possible more rats will show up or return to that same spot. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to close off any access points rats may be using to get inside your home.</p></div>

Q: Should I report a stray or feral cat?

• <div><p>If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media. </p><p>If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter&rsquo;s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you. </p></div>
