Q: Are high-frequency bird repellent devices effective?

• <div><p>High-frequency bird repellent devices are effective at driving away birds, which is their intended purpose. However, these devices also tend to have unintended negative consequences. For example, if you or your neighbors own pets, the high-pitched noise emitted by these electronic devices will cause them distress and may even make them aggressive.</p></div>

Q: What attracts woodpeckers?

• <div><p>Woodpeckers may seek out homes with aluminum siding or tin roofs because these surfaces echo their drumming. Homes with wood siding are more frequently targeted as roosting areas or for food sources. If you have insects living in the exposed wood in your home, the birds are likely looking for a snack, in which case your best option is to hire an exterminator.</p></div>

Q: Will home insurance help cover bat removal costs?

• <div><p>It is possible, though unlikely, that a home insurance policy will help cover the costs of professional bat removal. However, some policies will chip in for guano removal and associated repairs, such as replacing drywall. Take some time to read the fine print of your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policy and call your provider to inquire about bat removal, guano removal, and related repairs.</p></div>
