Many people install bat houses near their homes because the flying mammals help control insect populations. But for some people, having a colony of bats at home can be too bothersome, noisy and messy. If you want to relocate bats, contact your local animal control office and make sure it isn't illegal to move them. If it isn't, find out who they recommend as a professional wildlife control service to come do the job. Summer and fall are the best times to relocate bats because come wintertime, the bats will be hibernating and will die from the cold if relocated.

Did you know that birds -- from hummingbirds to larger species -- have a taste for artificial sweeteners? The artificial taste of the sweeteners is very appealing to them, and the packages are often swiped from outdoor dining restaurants by mischievous birds. However, in the long run, since they have no caloric value, they should be kept away from birds at all costs. Birds that develop a taste for artificial sweeteners can quickly starve to death because they are getting zero nutritional content. Keeping the packets away helps birds maintain their natural diet.

What's the most fuel-efficient lane on a highway? It's the middle. When you choose to drive in the middle lane of a three-lane highway, it gives you the flexibility to pass slower cars and allows faster cars to pass you or merge to exit the highway easily. The reason is simple: When you accelerate or decelerate less, you use less fuel and can maintain a steady speed that also includes fuel-efficient coasting. The more coasting and steady driving you can maintain, the better the gas savings in the long run.
