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’t scientifically proven effective.</p></div>

Q: Are drain flies harmful?

• <div><p>Drain flies aren&rsquo;t likely to make you sick and typically aren&rsquo;t harmful to humans. They don&rsquo;t bite or sting; however, they can cause allergies. In some individuals, they can also trigger asthma. The main issue with these little bugs is that they&rsquo;re annoying, unsightly, and unsanitary. Like all flies, they can spread bacteria from garbage or your sewer system.</p></div>

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: Are there eco-friendly termite control options?

• <div><p>Yes, integrated pest management uses less harmful methods and focuses on prevention.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring bleach down the drain prevent roaches?

• <div><p>While bleach is an effective roach killer, we don&rsquo;t recommend using bleach as a drain cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains. Applying this chemical could cause damage to the entire drain system over time. It's better to use homemade drain cleaners or cleaners that don't contain bleach.</p></div>
