Q: What smells do deer hate the most?

• <div><p>Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents.

You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.</p></div>

Q: Are possums dangerous?

• <div><p>Possums don&rsquo;t typically pose a danger to humans&mdash;they prefer to stay out of sight. If they feel threatened, they play dead instead of engaging. However, they can become aggressive when cornered, typically when they become trapped inside your home or when a dog chases them. When this happens, it&rsquo;s best to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/wildlife-control/">wildlife control service near you</a> to remove possums safely.</p></div>

Q: What attracts snakes?

• <div><p>Snakes love yards where they can access pet food, insects, and rodents. They also like places with plenty of hiding spots, such as tall grasses, thick or overgrown shrubbery, pools of water, broken gutters, and boxes. Reducing clutter and debris on your property may help keep them from visiting.</p></div>

Q: What eats fleas in my yard?

• <div><p>Ladybugs and nematodes eat fleas outdoors. In fact, ladybugs can eat an average of 50 bugs each hour. If you see them outdoors, avoid causing them harm to help you keep unwanted pests away.</p></div>

Q: What are the best deterrents for possums?

• <div><p>The best deterrents for possums include securing trash cans with tight-fitting lids, removing outdoor food sources like pet food or fallen fruit, and trimming tree branches that provide access to your roof or an open window. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also startle and discourage them from visiting. Additionally, you can take advantage of their strong sense of smell by using garlic, onion, or commercial possum repellents to keep them off your property.</p></div>
