Q: What do squirrels hate the most?

• <div><p>Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to <a href="https://extension.psu.edu/tree-squirrels">Pennsylvania State University</a>, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren&rsquo;t scientifically proven effective.</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>

Q: What can be mistaken for rat poop?

• <div><p>Droppings from cockroaches, squirrels, mice, bats, and birds can resemble rat poop, making it easy to confuse one for another. Mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed, cockroach droppings resemble tiny black specks or ground pepper, and bat guano can look similar but usually crumbles into powder. Bird droppings sometimes have a similar shape, but often include white uric acid deposits. If in doubt, it&rsquo;s best to consult a pest control professional for proper identification and removal. </p></div>

Q: What time of the day are bears most active?

• <div><p>Bears are most active at dawn and dusk. They can be active at any point during the day, but the hours after sunset and before sunrise are their primary feeding times. As far as time of year goes, bears are generally active from April to November and hibernate throughout the winter and early spring. Bears are more likely to be aggressive in the spring right after hibernation but more likely to be seen in the fall because they are preparing for hibernation.</p></div>

Q: What attracts armadillos to your yard?

• <div><p>Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.</p></div>

"We hired PS Fencing for a landscaping job that involved clearing out a bunch of dirt and roots, and placing lots of rocks and bark. This team is super fast and efficient, and Juan was really helpful when we asked for ideas with things like choosing which rocks to use, or a barrier where the rocks and bark meet. The work turned out great and the price was reasonable too. They also replaced our sagging fence gates and the new gates match the existing fence but are super solid and nice. I’ve already recommended this team to several friends and family members, and will definitely be hiring them again when we’re ready to continue working on our yard!"
