How can I tell what kind of animal is in my attic?

• <div>It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:<ul><li>Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.</li><li>Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.</li></ul>When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.</div>

How do I keep birds from pooping on my porch rails?

• <div>When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try: <ul><li>Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it. </li><li>Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away. </li><li>Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.</li></ul></div>

Should I worry about bats in my yard?

• <div>No, you shouldn’t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don’t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they’re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent. </div>

How can I keep bats out of my house?

• <div>If you’ve had a prior bat infestation or simply want to avoid having bats invade your home in the first place, there are a few steps you can take without the need for a pro. <ul><li>Seal entry points, such as where your chimney meets your house, or other gaps or holes exist.</li><li>Use bat deterrents like bright lights or ultrasonic devices to force them away from your home. </li><li>Reduce bat attractions like standing water and bird nectar feeders inviting bats into your yard. </li></ul></div>
