Q: Should I report a stray or feral cat?

• <div><p>If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media. </p><p>If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter&rsquo;s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you. </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: What are the best ways to prevent a bird from returning to the nest site?

• <div><p>Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. </p><p>Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.</p></div>

Q: Is boric acid safe around kids and pets?

• <div><p>Boric acid is among the harsher chemicals you can use in your home, and it poses risks whether ingested, inhaled, or touched. Kids and pets alike tend to put their hands and mouths on anything within reach, so it&rsquo;s always a good idea to store boric acid in a spot they can&rsquo;t get to and use it only when they&rsquo;re not around for an extended period. When you use it, ensure they&rsquo;re out of the house and fully clean up any trace of boric acid when you&rsquo;re done because even a small amount can cause problems. </p></div>

While there are plenty of DIY home remedies for pests, trapping and fumigation costs are worth the investment when dealing with a serious infestation that is hard to get rid of, like termites, bed bugs, or mice.

DIY traps and sprays might help eliminate a few ants or the occasional mouse, but they're no match for a full-blown infestation. Call an extermination pro to locate where pests hide, how to treat the issue at the source, and how to keep it from returning.
