Q: What are hawks afraid of?

• <div><p>Hawks might seem like fearless predators, but these smart birds do know what other animals to be cautious around. Hawks are naturally wary of humans and predators that see them or their eggs as a potential meal or threat. This list includes owls, crows, eagles, and even snakes or raccoons.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have a scorpion in my home?

• <div><p>Because scorpions are active during the night, it can be hard to spot them&mdash;they are often hiding while you&rsquo;re up and about. They could be hiding in holes in your walls, behind large appliances, under your bed, in your closet, or even inside your shoes. But, if you&rsquo;ve seen one scorpion in your home, chances are there are more waiting in the darkness. If you&rsquo;re on the hunt for scorpions in your home, invest in a UV light, as all scorpions will glow under UV rays. </p></div>

Q: How long can ticks live in a house?
