Q: Do rabbits eat mint and other herbs?

• <div><p>Rabbits have a penchant for plants, relishing herbs, veggies, fruits, and grasses. Common herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro are fair game for rabbits. In fact, leafy greens such as mint and thyme are rabbit favorites. Not only do bunnies find it yummy, but it packs health benefits when consumed in small amounts.</p></div>

Q: When are foxes most active?

• <div><p>Foxes are primarily nocturnal, meaning you&rsquo;re less likely to see one strutting onto your lawn in the middle of the day. However, daytime activity is more common if you have a female with her cubs on your property during the spring and summer. And you can see adaptable urban foxes at any time when regular food is available.</p></div>

Q: Why is there a skunky smell in my house?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn&rsquo;t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home&rsquo;s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">plumber near you</a> to make an assessment. </p></div>

Q: Where do American badgers sleep?

• <div><p>American badgers sleep in the burrows they dig, which can be extensive, featuring multiple chambers and tunnels. Badgers prefer to excavate their dens in open grasslands, prairies, and fields where the soil is easy to dig. They are solitary animals and usually have several burrows within their territory to use as needed. These underground homes provide them with a safe and secure place to rest during the day and to raise their young.</p></div>

"Great company! Everyone seemed knowledgeable about the removal of bats in my attic. Robert was my first contact. He was prompt & very reassuring. Hunter was the one who did the installation of a guard & no return vent. Poor guy was set on taking care of the problem- even in the pouring rain! The 2 year guarantee is a comfort! My roof is very steep & my house is old. Think the price quoted me is reasonable."
