Q: Do dryer sheets keep mice away?

• <div><p>Yes, dryer sheets can help repel mice. The strong artificial fragrances found in many dryer sheets, such as citrus, floral, or lavender, are unpleasant to mice, which are very sensitive to smells. Many people report success using them to deter mice from areas like cars, drawers, vents, and cupboards. The scent can last for many days, making the space undesirable for rodents. However, dryer sheets may not be a foolproof solution on their own. For more effective protection against rodent infestations, it is best to combine them with other preventive measures like traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices.</p></div>

Q: What animal kills hornets?

• <div><p>Numerous predators kill hornets, including frogs, birds, lizards, bats, spiders, and hedgehogs. Some larger predators, including rats, skunks, and racoons, will occasionally attack a hornet nest in order to eat the larvae inside. These natural predators typically don&rsquo;t eat enough hornets to make them an effective form of hornet control. </p></div>

Q: Are squirrels aggressive?

• <div><p>Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people. However, like many animals, they may exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered. If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.</p></div>

Q: Are groundhogs dangerous to have near your house?

• <div><p>Groundhogs are definitely cute, but it&rsquo;s usually not a good idea to have them living in your yard. Not only can groundhogs tear up your grass and create unsightly holes and burrows, but they can also carry infectious diseases that are dangerous to humans.</p></div>

They were very courteous and got the job done. Very professional and I love the way my yard looks without that koi pond. They also took a bunch of junk around my house. I would hire them again for my next project.
