Q: Where do mice hide during the day?

• <div><p>It is true that mice are most active at night to avoid being caught nabbing a spoonful of peanut butter. During the day, rodents prefer cool and dark places. Look for them hiding between walls, inside of pantries and cupboards, behind sofas, in old boxes, and in any other appealing hiding spot. They love clutter, particularly if it has not been disturbed in a while.</p></div>

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 are squirrels afraid of?

• <div><p>Squirrels are pretty skittish creatures, and they dread the presence of rodent-chasing dogs and cats. Sudden noises and bursts of activity can send them scampering away. Anything with an element of surprise, like motion-detecting lighting, strobe lights, and noisy wind chimes, can unsettle them. Even loud radios and voices can be perceived as threatening and terrifying to these furry critters.</p></div>
