Q: Do hobo spiders bite?

• <div><p>For years, it was believed that hobo spider bites were incredibly dangerous, causing flesh-eating wounds. But the rumors of their bites were greatly exaggerated, and there's been no real evidence showing a connection between a hobo spider bite and necrotizing wounds. </p><p>That said, the spiders can and do bite, usually as a defense response. They won't attack you unprovoked, but if you take them by surprise and get close enough, they may bite you. Their bites may cause some minor irritation or itchiness. </p></div>

Q: Are squirrels hard to get rid of?

• <div><p>Like many other rodents, squirrels can be a little difficult to get rid of (especially in the case of an infestation), but the best approach is to make the place as unattractive to squirrels as possible. If you do have an infestation inside your home, then professional help may be necessary so you can lay as many traps as possible. </p></div>

Q: What is the best type of trap for an armadillo?

• <div><p>There isn&rsquo;t one best type of trap for an armadillo. However, Havahart and Tomahawk live wire cages are popular two-door brands commonly used for armadillos. One study suggests<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280725232_Conspecific_scent_improves_capture_rates_for_nine-banded_armadillos"> wooden traps with armadillo scent</a> on them can increase the chance of success. It&rsquo;s worth inquiring whether your local wildlife extension has scented traps or wire types available for rent. </p></div>

Q: What are the common signs of a bug infestation?

• <div><p>Unexplained bites, strange smells, and bug nests in concealed areas warn of potential infestations.</p></div>

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>
