Q: Do groundhogs exhibit aggressive behavior?

• <div><p>Groundhogs usually keep their cool despite being easily spooked. However, there are exceptions&mdash;they might get defensive or territorial if they feel threatened or overly concerned. If they sense a threat to their babies, they could get feisty, too. These wild animals are not meant to be kept as pets. If you find babies or an injured groundhog, contact your local animal rescue or wildlife service for guidance.</p></div>

Q: What is the most effective natural deer repellent?

• <div><p>Deer rely on scent to tell them what&rsquo;s safe and unsafe, so effective deer repellents have to be pungent. Make your own natural repellent by combining a beaten egg, one tablespoon of cooking oil, one tablespoon of dish soap, and a half cup of milk. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray around your garden, avoiding anything you will want to eat later. This stinky repellent will ward off any deer that want to make your produce their next meal. But keep in mind that if your windows are nearby, the scent may waft over.</p></div>
