Q: When are raccoons most active?

• <div><p>Raccoons are primarily crepuscular and nocturnal, meaning they are most active at dawn, dusk, and throughout the night. While less common, they may come out during the day to find food, especially in warm months or during the spring birthing season (April and May) when caring for their young. Seasonally, raccoons are active year-round and do not truly hibernate. However, during periods of severe cold, they will often remain in their dens for extended periods.</p></div>

Q: Will rodents leave on their own?

• <div><p>Like a rent-controlled apartment in New York City, rodents know a good thing when they see it. If they've found a cozy nest inside your home, they will set up camp and stay there, leaving only to forage for food and water. As long as they have a warm place to sleep, raise their young, and continue access to water and food, they're going to stick around.</p></div>

Q: Are squash bugs invasive?

• <div><p>Squash bugs technically aren&rsquo;t invasive, as they are native to North America. However, this doesn&rsquo;t mean that they aren&rsquo;t incredibly destructive. These pests can cause significant damage to squash, pumpkins, and other cucurbit crops by feeding on plant sap and injecting toxins that cause leaves to wilt, dry out, and die. In large numbers, squash bugs can decimate entire plants (especially younger ones), making them a major nuisance for home gardeners and commercial growers alike.</p></div>

Q: How do I kill fruit flies outdoors?

• <div><p>To kill fruit flies outdoors, you'll want to make a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/insects-bugging-your-plants-try-these-10-natural-insecticides.htm">homemade insecticide</a> or find a plant-safe, nontoxic product. Fill a garden sprayer with your chosen solution and apply it on your plants and around the base of your home's exterior. Take care to limit your exposure to insecticides, as they can irritate skin and eyes. Always rinse garden fruits and vegetables before eating them.</p></div>

Q: What spider makes webs on the ground?

• <div><p>Grass spiders, also known as funnel-web spiders, are the culprits here, building small webs directly into the grass to catch any insects that have the misfortune of crawling too close. They are often confused with wolf spiders, as the two species look nearly identical, but grass spiders are actually great helpers in maintaining your lawn. </p></div>
