What herbs and plants deter stink bugs?

• <div><p>Ironically, stink bugs tend to hate plants that have a strong odor. Along with the plants that attract their predators listed above, here are a few pungent plants to add to your garden:</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Garlic</p></li><li><p>Radishes</p></li><li><p>Mint</p></li><li><p>Lavender</p></li><li><p>Rosemary</p></li><li><p>Thyme</p></li><li><p>Catnip</p></li><li><p>Lemongrass</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do bats come back to the same place every night?

• <div><p>This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.</p></div>

Q: Why is my house covered in lanternflies?

• <div><p>While the spotted lanternfly&rsquo;s favorite place to stay is the trees and plants they gorge on, they can occasionally congregate in large numbers on buildings and other structures. This may be for height, warmth, or other unknown reasons. However, rest assured that the insects do not do any structural damage to the buildings, and will likely move on within a few weeks or perish with the colder weather.</p></div>

Q: What food is irresistible to mice?

• <div><p>As you know, mice adore peanut butter, but who doesn&rsquo;t? Beyond that sandwich staple, rodents are drawn to berries, grains, seeds, meat, and, yes, even cheese. They also eat pet food in a pinch and feast on plant materials, leftovers, and anything in the trash. In other words, mice aren&rsquo;t picky.</p></div>

Q: Are there bird's nest removal tools?

• <div><p>Metal coil-shaped retriever tools (around $50) help remove empty nests and debris from chimneys. Unless you are sure the nest is vacant, we recommend calling in a pro to handle bird&rsquo;s nest removal from chimneys, vents, roofs, and other hard-to-reach places.</p></div>
