Q: Do mothballs keep bats away?

• <div><p>No, mothballs do not keep bats away. Not only are mothballs completely ineffective when repelling or removing bats, but using them could be illegal, depending on where you live. Remember, bats are federally protected, and it's illegal to use chemicals during the removal process, and mothballs tend to fall into this category.</p></div>

Q: Why not use poison for rodents?

• <div><p>Poison will kill small rodents and can seem like the quick and easy way to get rid of them. But&mdash;in addition to its inhumane nature&mdash;poison has some drawbacks. First of all, if you have small children or pets in the home, setting out poison isn't the best idea, as your pets or children could ingest it. </p><p>Poisoned mice and rodents don't die instantly. Instead, it can take several days for the poison to work its way through their system. In the meantime, there's a chance that a predator, such as a cat, fox, or other mammal, will eat the poisoned rodent and become poisoned themselves.</p></div>

Q: Which animals build nests in attics?

• <div><p>Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home&rsquo;s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:</p><ul><li><p>Raccoons</p></li><li><p>Bats</p></li><li><p>Squirrels</p></li><li><p>Mice</p></li><li><p>Rats</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

• <div><p>Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don&rsquo;t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.</p></div>

Q: What bug looks like a flea but isn’t a flea?

• <div><p>If you spot a bug in your home that seems very similar to a flea, it&rsquo;s likely a springtail, which is a tiny jumping insect that can resemble a flea. Unlike fleas, they are not dangerous to humans or animals because they don&rsquo;t bite. Fleas are smaller than springtails, which is how you can distinguish them.</p></div>
