Q: What should I do if I see a bobcat in my yard?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t let it run off without scaring it away through shouting, loud noises, waving your arms, or even throwing some rocks in its general direction if possible. You want the bobcat to get away with the thought that this place is not safe for them, which will dissuade them from returning.</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 do you do if a wild animal is in your yard?

• <div><p>If a wild animal enters your yard, prioritize safety for yourself and the animal. Remember to avoid direct contact and always keep a safe distance. Contact local authorities or a wildlife rehabilitation center if the animal is hurt or in distress. Both sources should be able to guide you on how to proceed and send help if needed. Please wait for the animal to leave naturally for non-threatening situations, as many will. To deter future visits, implement measures like securing trash cans, sealing entry points, and removing potential food sources.</p></div>

Q: Will skunks leave on their own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible that skunks will leave on their own. Skunks may appear briefly on your property and move on if they cannot find food. However, waiting them out is not a foolproof solution. If the skunk finds a food source on or near your property and builds a nest, the animal will almost certainly not choose to move. If you can eliminate food sources, you&rsquo;ll have a better chance of seeing the skunk leave on its own. </p></div>

I searched for someone to replace my fence and was called by Freddy right away. He was able to assess my fence using Google Maps and provide an estimate right away starting from lowest to highest. They offered interest free financing if paid off in two years, which works for me, with no up front...

Extraordinarily efficient. About a week from making the best bid to completion. I had asked for help in creating a fence/part wall on porch to cut down road noise. The noise is better and I unexpectedly ended up with a space which now has a cozy, warm, safe feel. Thanks!

They successfully closed the gap in the fence, but didn't seem to have the right kind of clamps for the job. They did, however, get it done quickly! Very nice to work with.

I really like my new fence. The crew torn down my old fence, took it away and then replaced it with steel pole and cedar planks. The new fence looks really good. and with metal poles, I won't have to worry about replacing again. I highly recommend Home in One, LLC's services.
