In the Discworld books witches are much like local doctors. There’s a young witch that can’t convince a family to move the privy away from the garden, which is making them sick. She tries to explain there are tiny, tiny animals that are coming from the poop and that’s what’s making them ill. They smile politely and don’t change anything.
The old witch comes along and it explains that the problem is the goblins in the outhouse and to move it far away from the garden. They happily do so.
