Q: What time of day do hawks hunt?

• <div><p>Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.</p></div>

Q: Can I use my dog or cat to keep rabbits away from my garden?

• <div><p>While some pets, especially dogs, may chase rabbits away due to their natural hunting instincts, relying solely on pets to deter rabbits is not foolproof. Some rabbits can become accustomed to the presence of pets over time, and not all pets possess the same level of hunting inclination. What&rsquo;s more, rabbits can potentially carry serious diseases like Tularemia and E. cuniculi, which they could pass to your pets.</p></div>

Q: What attracts spiders?

• <div><p>Homes provide a stable environment with ample hiding spots, warmth, and protection from the elements, making them ideal habitats for spiders. The presence of insects within homes serves as a major food source for spiders, enticing them to establish their webs or burrows in and around residential structures. The nooks and crannies of homes provide perfect locations for spiders to construct webs or lay in wait for unsuspecting prey.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep birds from pooping on my porch rails?

• <div><p>When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: </p><ul><li><p>Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won&rsquo;t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can&rsquo;t land on it. </p></li><li><p>Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. </p></li><li><p>Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don&rsquo;t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don&rsquo;t like strong smells.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Will a dryer kill bed bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, a household dryer can kill items infested with bed bugs, such as bedding, stuffed animals, clothes, or shoes. As long as the dryer isn&rsquo;t stuffed to the brim, you can run it on high for about 30 minutes to kill bed bugs at all life stages. This method will kill any live bed bugs in your linens or upholstered materials.</p></div>
