Q: Do I need to be worried about foxes passing on rabies?

• <div><p>Foxes can catch rabies. However, it is rare, and even rarer for them to pass this disease on to humans. If you do see a fox in your vicinity acting strangely, disorientated, having seizures, or randomly trying to bite, contact your local animal control, police, or Department of Environmental Control. And if you are scratched or bitten by an animal you suspect has rabies, seek medical treatment immediately.</p></div>

Q: How many spiders in a house is normal?

• <div><p>The number of spiders considered normal in a house can vary significantly depending on geographic location, season, and the specific environment of the house. Generally, it's common for a home to have one or two spiders present at any time. If you consistently notice more than one spider in your home daily or you're dealing with potentially dangerous species, it's advisable to seek <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">professional pest control services</a> to address the issue.</p></div>

Q: Do wind chimes keep woodpeckers away?

• <div><p>Hanging wind chimes or motion-activated speakers near your home may be an effective way to deter woodpeckers, as sudden movement and sound often scare birds away. You could also try using reflective decorative items such as pinwheels or mirrors or placing decoys of large predatory birds in your yard. If these measures don&rsquo;t deter the woodpeckers, you may need the help of a bird removal pro.</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>
