Why do I suddenly have voles in my yard?

• <div><p>Voles are attracted to areas with lots of vegetation that they can hide in. Since they eat mostly grasses, tubers, and bulbs, a robust garden can attract voles that wouldn’t have looked twice at a barren rock garden. Voles also like to hide out in dense ground cover, so that can attract them as well.</p></div>

Do house mice go in your bed?

• <div><p>It’s very rare to find mice in a bed frame or mattress outside of the most extreme infestation scenarios. That said, your bedroom isn’t off limits for mice if it offers them shelter, food, and warmth. Look for any gaps or openings a mouse could squeeze into, and don’t keep food in your bedroom. </p></div>

Q: What dries out flea eggs?

• <div><p>There are several ways to dry out flea eggs. Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a natural ingredient that can dry out fleas, but it&rsquo;s messy to apply and can also cause respiratory issues for members of your household if inhaled. Salt is safer and easier to apply, so shake it liberally over affected areas. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boric-acid-safe-use-pest-control.htm">Boric acid</a> is another way to get rid of fleas and other insects, but this, too, can cause respiratory issues and health problems if inhaled or ingested.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a crawl space?

• <div><p>Some disadvantages of crawl spaces are mostly regarding the air itself&mdash;moisture build-up and poor ventilation, which can cause problems both in the house and underneath it, even damaging the foundation itself. Crawl spaces are difficult to access and often invite unwanted pests during the hot summer months and the cold winter ones. These hard-to-seal spaces are also susceptible to water damage during periods of heavy rain or melting snow.</p></div>

Be persistent and continue these scare tactics until they move away. Then, you should move away slowly, always facing the coyote.</p></div>
