Q: Do dryer sheets keep squirrels away?

• <div><p>Whether dryer sheets can keep squirrels away is a bit of a mystery because the evidence is entirely anecdotal. Many households claim to have success with using dryer sheets for keeping squirrels away by placing them throughout their attics, yards, on a clothesline, and any other area where squirrels like to run through. Squirrels do not like strong scents, so if you try using dryer sheets, the ones with the strongest scent may be the most effective.</p></div>

Q: What time of day are rats most active?

• <div><p>Rats are the most active at night, from late evening through the early morning. These nocturnal creatures forage for food and explore their surroundings in the dark, when it's quieter and there's less human activity. You're less likely to see them during daylight hours, as they usually stay hidden in walls, attics, or other secluded areas. Spotting signs like droppings or gnaw marks is often the first indication of their presence, rather than seeing the rodents themselves. </p></div>

Q: What scent do groundhogs hate?

• <div><p>The scents that groundhogs hate most include garlic, hot peppers such as cayenne, and various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano. Planting these crops in or near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows can help ward them off. </p></div>

Q: What’s the fastest way to get rid of rats in my yard?

• <div><p>If you want to get rid of rats fast and don&rsquo;t mind the price, we suggest contacting pest control. They have the methods, experience and equipment to handle the job as quickly as possible, along with suggestions on how to make sure rats won&rsquo;t pose any problem in the future.
