Q: Can I handle flea control at home without professional help?

• <div><p>DIY flea control includes regular cleaning, vacuuming, and using flea sprays or collars, useful for mild cases.</p></div>

Q: What attracts bats to your yard?

• <div><p>Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs&mdash;their main food source&mdash;will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common. </p></div>

Q: Should you leave the wasp nest alone?

• <div><p>If a small hive is far enough from your home and doesn&rsquo;t seem to pose a threat to the health of anyone, then you can opt to leave it alone. They are still pollinators; if you have a garden, they&rsquo;ll tackle some gardening work for you and produce helpful results without harming you. </p></div>

Q: What do raccoons in a chimney sound like?

• <div><p>Raccoons in a chimney sound like thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying. Because they can weigh as much as 20 pounds, they make noises that are noticeable and hard to miss. Plus, they have an average litter size of 3 to 7 kits, so you may hear what sounds like multiple animals thumping, rustling, scratching, or scurrying.</p></div>
