Q: Do carpenter bees make honey?

• <div><p>Carpenter bees do not make honey like honey bees, but they are still essential pollinators. In fact, they have a unique talent called &quot;buzz pollination,&quot; in which they use the vibration from their wings to help release pollen from the flowers' anthers. Honey bees are also vital pollinators but do not use this process because they are too small and lack the strength required to buzz pollinate.</p></div>

Q: Should I throw out flour with weevils?

• <div><p>Although weevils aren&rsquo;t harmful to humans, it&rsquo;s best to throw out flour (or any food product) if it contains weevils or other pests. However, if you want to salvage food after finding pests nearby in the pantry, you can freeze it for at least four days. To prevent weevils from returning, make sure to store your food in airtight containers or inside your refrigerator or freezer.</p></div>

Q: When are foxes most active?

• <div><p>Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you&rsquo;re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.</p></div>

Though it was my fault son not realizing the importance of the job, we decided to do the rest of underground crawl space. Though some cement needed during time I would have preferred it finished all at one time. It is our 3rd wait. I’d never do it in winter again.

This was a fantastic experience! We caught 72 voles in about 4 months. Jim came out every week or two to check the traps, and he did a great job of keeping us posted. We recommend him without hesitation, and will use him again in a heartbeat if we ever have any other pest control needs.
