Q: What is the best natural roach repellent for outside?

• <div><p>We recommend using diatomaceous earth to create roach repellent barriers outdoors. Most oil and spray applications will quickly wear down in outside weather, so they aren&rsquo;t as much use in the outdoors. If you are really struggling with an outdoor roach problem, we suggest looking for pet-safe bait traps you can set.</p></div>

Q: Can you get rid of badgers naturally?

• <div><p>Badgers have a strong sense of smell, so it&rsquo;s possible you can deter them with strong scents, such as applying citronella oil to the bottom of your fence, adding crushed scotch bonnet peppers sprinkled throughout your garden, or mixing both of these into a solution to spray around your home and garden.</p></div>

Q: Can a flea infestation resolve on its own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s highly unlikely that fleas will pack up and leave your home on their own. Fleas reproduce frequently and by the dozens, so an infestation can grow and spread rapidly, increasing the need for professional extermination. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to address a flea issue in your home as soon as you identify it. Hire a professional flea exterminator to clear your home of these tiny pests.</p></div>

Q: How do I permanently get rid of gophers?

• <div><p>Gophers are ubiquitous in certain areas, and the only way to completely get rid of them is to put down gopher wire two feet below the surface of your soil and vertically along the edges of your yard. Unfortunately, this may not be a practical solution unless you&rsquo;re completely redoing your yard or installing an aboveground garden. Alternatively, you may consider putting underground rock barriers around the edge of your yard to discourage gopher visits. However, you&rsquo;ll still likely get some pests because they can dig as deep as 6 feet below the surface.</p></div>

Q: Are groundhogs aggressive?

• <div><p>Groundhogs are non-aggressive animals that are afraid of humans. They forage for vegetation in yards and gardens, so they can often be seen as a nuisance if you spot one on your property. That said, if you happen to get bitten or scratched by a fearful groundhog, be sure to get checked by a doctor, as they could carry infections or diseases like rabies, Lyme, or the rare tularemia.</p></div>
