Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of wasps?

• <div><p>The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals. </p></div>

Q: What do raccoons in a chimney sound like?

• <div><p>Raccoons in a chimney sound like thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying. Because they can weigh as much as 20 pounds, they make noises that are noticeable and hard to miss. Plus, they have an average litter size of 3 to 7 kits, so you may hear what sounds like multiple animals thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying.</p></div>

Q: Does pest control require contracts?

• <div><p>Not usually. Most pest control will offer one-off services without the need to sign a contract. However, for especially large projects, or treatments that will involve additional trips for months into the future, pest control companies may require you to sign a contract. </p></div>

Q: Will a mother bird return to a disturbed nest?

• <div><p>In most cases, a mother bird will return to a disturbed nest after the disturbance has passed. However, it can be hard for a mother bird to find a relocated nest. So, while it&rsquo;s false that a mother bird will abandon her nest if it&rsquo;s been disturbed, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to relocate a nest with live babies or eggs in it.</p></div>
