Q: What causes aphid infestation?

• <div><p>Aphid infestations happen when aphid-attracting plants like mustard and nasturtium are present, there&rsquo;s a lack of predators, or plants are weak. Avoid plants that aphids love, and consider increasing natural predators that keep aphids at bay. Birds, wasps, and ladybugs play roles in balancing out aphid infestations, so add <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/planting-pollinators.htm">pollinator plants and habitats</a> to your yard that attract birds and other aphid predators.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of living alongside foxes peaceably rather than removing them?

• <div><p>Unless foxes are a major threat or nuisance, living peacefully alongside them is often better. Reclusive foxes are rarely a risk to humans, and they can help keep rodent populations at bay and boost biodiversity in your yard. Plus, if you are a wildlife lover, there is the simple privilege and pleasure of watching a fox family interact right on your doorstep.</p></div>

Q: What are squirrels afraid of?

• <div><p>Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away. Anything with an element of surprise, like motion-detecting lighting, strobe lights, and noisy wind chimes, can unsettle them. Even loud radios and voices can be perceived as threatening and terrifying to these furry critters.</p></div>

Q: Will a rat go near a sleeping human?

• <div><p>Yes, rats will go near a sleeping human, especially if there is food or crumbs nearby. What&rsquo;s worse, they may even bite humans while they are asleep. Common places for bites are exposed fingers, toes, hands, and faces. To minimize the risk of rats approaching you and your family members while they&rsquo;re asleep, do not eat or leave accessible food packages in the bedroom. </p></div>

Q: How do you keep mice away permanently?

• <div><p>While keeping any critter away permanently isn&rsquo;t always possible, you can keep mice away from your home by setting traps, fumigating your space, and sealing known entry points. Once you&rsquo;ve taken these steps, take time to work on prevention measures, such as clearing out all clutter and recyclables and removing all food sources.</p></div>
