Pest Control questions, answered by experts

You don’t need heavy-duty chemicals to get rid of a bobcat. In fact, one of the most simple and effective methods of preventing bobcats from entering your property is by keeping your yard clear of overgrowth by trimming bushes and trees regularly. This eliminates potential hiding spots for a bobcat and makes them easier to spot in general.

As beautiful as vines on your home's exterior can be, they do like to attract many kinds of creepy crawlies. Bugs—including beetles, aphids, weevils, and others—like to make themselves at home in ivy. You can also bet if a wide selection of bugs is available, it will attract spiders, too.

Raccoons are mostly crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk, though some are nocturnal. In other words, you likely won’t see a raccoon in the middle of the afternoon, though it’s possible in the spring when they are rearing their young. As for the seasons, these critters are active year-round and do not hibernate. However, they’ll likely hide in a den through severely cold weather.

Don’t count on squirrels leaving on their own. Squirrels like the safety that a cozy attic provides and won’t be in a hurry to leave, especially if they’ve recently given birth to a litter. It’s best to address the situation with DIY removal tactics or hire a squirrel removal pro as soon as you suspect squirrels are living in your attic.

Poisonous baits, like those used for getting rid of mice or rats, are a no-no for iguana traps. Using them for this purpose is illegal in most states, and the iguanas are unlikely to find them attractive. Plus, they can cause unnecessary suffering, and you risk harming a pet or other protected wildlife if they decide to nibble on it instead.
