Q: Is there a scent that repels woodpeckers?

• <div><p>Strong scents like peppermint, rosemary, lavender, citronella, and others can repel woodpeckers&mdash;as pungent smells can overpower their senses. For that reason, you might consider making a homemade spray with one or a combination of these scents to spritz around areas of your home where woodpeckers frequent.</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: Should I worry about bats in my yard?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don&rsquo;t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they&rsquo;re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent. </p></div>

Q: Can birds damage your home?

Q: How do I keep geese from pooping in my yard?

• <div><p>Fake owls are a common goose deterrent decoy and one of the most humane ways to scare away geese. Unfortunately, some geese are wise to fake predators. Decoys can be more effective if you move them around frequently or purchase ones with motion features. Decoys that move in the wind are also more effective than stationary decoys.</p></div>

We agreed to more than we neede (our fault), but we asked for them to replace the rubber covering on the flat part of the roof. They agreed, but it was only much later that I discovered they had replaced it with long strips of asphalt. Who the heck does that on a flat roof in Wisconsin?...
