Q: What attracts rats?

• <div><p>Like any other animal, rats are attracted to food sources, water, and shelter. Clean up food messes right away, don&rsquo;t leave pet food out, and secure your garbage to make your home less appealing. Fix leaky pipes and dripping faucets, and declutter spaces that rats might think to nest in.</p></div>

Q: What baits are unsafe or illegal to use for possums?

• <div><p>You should never use toxic baits or poisons, such as rodenticides designed for mice and rats, to kill or trap possums. Using these toxicants is illegal in many areas and can lead to fines or other penalties. Furthermore, these poisons can cause unnecessary suffering for the animal and pose a significant risk of accidental poisoning to pets or other neighborhood wildlife. Instead of using poisons, it is best to stick with humane methods like live trapping.</p></div>

Q: Will fleas die off in the winter if I don’t want to pay for an exterminator?

• <div><p>Cold winter months won&rsquo;t always kill off fleas completely. Your home is typically warm enough for fleas to survive or, at least, for the eggs to lay dormant, ready to hatch when warmer weather arrives. Plus, waiting for the winter isn&rsquo;t a good idea. The infestation will continue to grow, and fleas carry pathogens that can harm humans and pets. </p></div>

Q: What is an owl's worst enemy?

• <div><p>An owl's worst enemy in the wild is often other raptors and environmental factors. Among the avian threats, larger owls or other birds of prey can pose a danger, engaging in territorial disputes or competing for food resources. Terrestrial predators like foxes, raccoons, and larger mammals may target owl nests or young fledglings. Environmental factors like severe weather conditions, habitat loss, and food availability changes can also significantly impact owl populations.</p></div>
