Q: Why do I have so many flies all of the sudden?

• <div><p>If it seems like many flies appeared in your yard overnight, don&rsquo;t be concerned. A single fly can lay over 200 eggs per day, so having one in your yard could lead to dozens more the next day. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to eliminate flies from outside your home before they take up residence.</p></div>

Q: What do owls hate the most?

• <div><p>Studies indicate that owls don't possess a conventional sense of fear. However, they find intense, sudden human noise unsettling, like clapping or shouting. Additionally, owls are likely spooked by sudden bursts of bright light. While they may not experience fear as humans do, these disturbances can disrupt their natural behaviors, making it essential to minimize such disruptions when sharing spaces with these remarkable creatures.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of wasps?

• <div><p>The most common wasps are hornets, yellowjackets, and paper wasps. Both hornets and yellowjackets are black and yellow, and hornets are known to be more aggressive if their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps are black or reddish-brown with yellow markings and often build nests on eaves or branches. Of the more than 300,000 species of wasps, these are the most often encountered by pest control professionals. </p></div>

Q: Does cinnamon keep bugs away?

• <div><p>Cinnamon's warm scent appeals to many people but not to many bugs. The spice contains eugenol, which also happens to be used in insecticides. While the level of eugenol in cinnamon isn't enough to eliminate bugs on its own, the scent can be strong enough to keep them away. </p><p>You can try sprinkling cinnamon around areas where you've seen insects, such as ants and mosquitos. Remember that you'll have to reapply frequently, especially after periods of rain.</p></div>

Q: What is a natural way to repel bears?

• <div><p>Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal&rsquo;s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it&rsquo;s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.</p></div>
