Hello everyone,
A bit of a garden, chicken and otherwise update:)
First up! Garden stuff update :).
Tumblr media
Our first cucumber! This pic is a few days old, so it's just about ready to pick now and I've spotted 2 more coming in too :)
Tumblr media
First patty pan squash :D with luck this years the year we are able to actually eat a few squash from the plants before the squash beatles arrive! :D
Tumblr media
Sweet potato starts in the ground. I may need to put a bit of a shade cover and will be planting at least one more tuber to kick start the greens.
Tumblr media
These very pretty wasps (who I believe is a yellow paper wasp if internet search has led me well.) Arrived. Very beautiful, but unfortunatly like the yellow bellied assassin's I will need to keep an eye out for them and potential nesting habits. For the safety and comfort of human neighbours and self, rather than protecting the rare native Bees we see. Thankfully It looks like this one was just hanging out for a few minutes.
Three more assassin's were spotted and swatted over the last few days. Morning has been the best time to look for them so far as I can see or tell.
Tumblr media
My funny shade/seed/chicken bed. It looks a bit rough but the goal for this area is mostly to fill the empty space with something that is
1) edible to us or the chickens.
2) managing some sort of eco aspect of our space (shade, water retention, soil cover, beautification)
3) medicinal in some way ( soapmaking or makeup)
4) is fairly leave it alone/set it and forget it.
I'll need to reseed some new stuff soon though as the kale and chard are just about done I think.
Tumblr media
Some of the tossed out sunflowers by the watermelon patch.
The melon patch I started (that the chcikens dug up entirely 😭 ) is being fully dug out right now to make a better grow space long term. Given that it's hot out (already 100*f regulalry) and daily life business, I've been working on it as the sun's been going down. It's taking a bit, but a bit at a time makes the work pass by. The dirt being dug out is being used to fill in chicken potholes for the yard and coop. When it's fully dug out I'll be making a similar growbed box like I did for the sweet potatos. Most likely also with a short shade cover.
Tumblr media
And last, a chick pic update :) these ones have been much hardier than the last batch so far and a lot less skittish. They got their first hand feeding of crickets and mealworms, plus some peices of apple.
That's it for today
🌱🌻Happy Homesteading and Gardening 🌻🌱

Me: hey we need to offer effective, sustainable, practical solutions that people can easily and cheaply do before we start telling people at-large to not use pesticides, because almost no one's gonna want to 'just deal with' a bunch of pests in their house.
Some of yall: but have you considered that they'll just need to learn how to deal with it? and learn how to cope with roaches and spiders roaming their kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living spaces, etc? Have you considered getting chickens in your suburban neighborhood where thats illegal? consider that the juveniles of these extremely venemous snake species eat some insects--what? You mean a suburban neighborhood where there's likely pets and kids to worry about? no worries, you'll have no bugs in your house, but now there'lll be dangerous snakes instead! hope this helps! #savingtheworld #sustainablefutures

TOP GARDEN PESTS--WHAT WORKED + DIDN'T
Here is some good information from a survey that Mother Earth News did to learn more about what works, and doesn't, when it comes to limiting insect damage in organic vegetable gardens. They had 1300 gardeners from across the United States respond, so is pretty good. I've included 7 of the top garden pests and info:
1) SLUGS-- took top honors as the most bothersome pest in home gardens, with 55 percent of respondents saying the slimy critters give them trouble year after year. Handpicking was highly rated as a control measure (87 percent success rate), followed by iron phosphate baits (86 percent) and diatomaceous earth (84 percent). Opinion was divided on eggshell barriers (crushed eggshells sprinkled around plants), with a 33 percent failure rate among gardeners who had tried that slug control method. An easy home remedy that received widespread support was beer traps (80 percent success rate).
2) SQUASH BUGS-- had sabotaged summer and winter squash for 51 percent of respondents, and even ducks couldn’t solve a serious squash bug problem. Most gardeners reported using handpicking as their primary defense, along with cleaning up infested plants at season’s end to interrupt the squash bug life cycle. The value of companion planting for squash bug management was a point of disagreement for respondents, with 21 percent saying it’s the best control method and 34 percent saying it doesn’t help.
Of the gardeners who had tried it, 79 percent said spraying neem on egg clusters and juvenile squash bugs is helpful. About 74 percent of row cover users found them useful in managing squash bugs.
3) APHIDS-- were on the watch list of 50 percent of respondents, but the success rates of various control techniques were quite high. Active interventions, including pruning off the affected plant parts and applying insecticidal soap, were reported effective, but so were more passive methods, such as attracting beneficial insects by planting flowers and herbs. Several readers noted the ability of sweet alyssum and other flowers to attract hoverflies, which eat aphids. “We attract a lot of beneficials by planting carefree flowers in the vegetable garden, including calendula, borage, zinnias, cosmos and nasturtiums” (Midwest, more than 20 years of experience).
4) SQUASH VINE BORERS-- had caused problems for 47 percent of the survey respondents. The best reported control methods were crop rotation and growing resistant varieties ofCucurbita moschata, which includes butternut squash and a few varieties of pumpkin. TheC. moschata varieties are borer-resistant because they have solid stems. Interestingly, if you’re attempting to fend off squash vine borers, lanky, long-vined, open-pollinated varieties of summer squash (zucchini and yellow crookneck, for example) may fare better than hybrids, because OP varieties are more likely to develop supplemental roots where the vines touch the ground.
Many gardeners dump soil over these places, so if squash vine borers attack a plant’s main stem, the plant can keep on growing from its backup root system.
5) JAPANESE BEETLES-- Forty-six percent of respondents reported working in the unwelcome company of Japanese beetles, with handpicking being the most popular control method. Some gardeners grow trap crops of raspberries or other fruits to keep Japanese beetles away from plants. Several commonly used interventions — garlic-pepper spray, milky spore disease, pheromone traps and row covers — had high failure rates.
6) TOMATO HORNWORMS-- were of concern to 42 percent of our survey respondents. Bt and handpicking were the preferred control methods, and several folks commented that tomato hornworms are among the easiest garden pests to handpick (probably because they’re large, easy to spot and produce a telltale, pebbly trail). Many gardeners reported seeing tomato hornworms often covered with rice-like cocoons of parasitic braconid wasps. “I had a lot of tomato hornworms this year, but the wasps took them out! Just like in the photos online and in bug books!” (Mid-Atlantic, more than 20 years of experience). Gardeners named zinnias and borage as good companion plants for reducing hornworm problems.
7) CUTWORMS-- were a concern for 41 percent of respondents, and effectiveness ratings for using rigid collars (made from plastic drinking cups or cardboard tissue rolls) to protect young seedlings from damage were amazingly high (93 percent effectiveness rating). A common practice to reduce cutworm damage is to cultivate the soil’s surface once or twice before planting and hope robins and other bug-eating birds will swoop in to gather the juicy cutworms. Big, sturdy seedlings are naturally resistant to cutworms, so many gardeners said they set out seedlings a bit late to avoid cutworm damage.

Eco-Friendly Squirrel Removal Solutions: Humane Ways to Handle Infestations
Tumblr media
Squirrels can be charming and entertaining creatures, but when they invade your home or property, they can cause significant damage and disturbances. Understanding how to manage a squirrel infestation in an eco-friendly and humane way is crucial for maintaining a harmonious environment. This article explores effective squirrel removal solutions that prioritize the well-being of these animals while protecting your property.
Understanding Squirrel Behavior
Before implementing removal strategies, it’s essential to understand squirrel behavior. These small mammals are typically active during the day, foraging for food and building nests. Commonly found in urban areas, squirrels are attracted to places where food and shelter are readily available. They can squeeze through surprisingly small openings, making homes, attics, and garages prime targets for nesting.
Eco-Friendly Squirrel Removal Solutions
1. Prevention First
The best approach to squirrel removal is prevention. Implementing measures to make your property less inviting to squirrels can reduce the chances of an infestation.
Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps and openings, especially around vents, eaves, and chimneys. Use sturdy materials like metal flashing or heavy-duty wire mesh to seal these potential entry points.
Secure Food Sources: Remove bird feeders and seal garbage bins to eliminate easy food access. Store pet food indoors and use squirrel-proof bird feeders if you enjoy feeding wildlife.
Trim Trees: Prune tree branches that hang close to your roof to prevent squirrels from jumping onto your house.
2. Humane Trapping
If squirrels have already entered your home, humane trapping is an effective solution. Follow these guidelines for successful and eco-friendly trapping:
Select the Right Trap: Use live traps designed for squirrels, ensuring they are large enough for the animal. Look for traps that are easy to set and check.
Bait the Trap: Use appealing bait, such as peanut butter, sunflower seeds, or fruits, to attract the squirrels. Place the trap near areas where you’ve seen squirrel activity.
Monitor the Trap: Check the trap frequently to minimize stress for the trapped squirrel. Ensure that the trap is in a shaded area to protect it from the elements.
3. Relocation
Once a squirrel is trapped, it’s important to relocate it humanely. Follow these steps for responsible relocation:
Choose an Appropriate Location: Select a suitable area at least several miles away from your home, preferably a wooded or natural habitat where the squirrel can thrive.
Release Carefully: Open the trap door gently and step back to allow the squirrel to exit at its own pace. Avoid startling it, as this could cause injury or stress.
4. Natural Deterrents
In addition to trapping, you can use natural deterrents to encourage squirrels to leave your property:
Repellents: Use eco-friendly squirrel repellents made from natural ingredients. Spraying peppermint oil, vinegar, or cayenne pepper around entry points can deter squirrels without harming them.
Noise and Visual Deterrents: Consider using noise-makers, reflective surfaces, or motion-activated sprinklers to create an environment that squirrels find unwelcoming.
5. Professional Assistance
If the infestation persists despite your best efforts, consider contacting a professional wildlife removal service that specializes in humane methods. These experts can assess your situation and employ eco-friendly techniques to safely remove the squirrels from your property.
6. Educating the Community
Encouraging your community to adopt eco-friendly squirrel removal practices can lead to a more harmonious coexistence with wildlife. Share information on humane removal techniques and prevention methods with your neighbors, promoting a culture of respect for nature.
Conclusion
Managing a squirrel infestation does not have to involve harm or cruelty. By utilizing eco-friendly pest removal solutions, homeowners can address their concerns while ensuring the well-being of these animals. Through prevention, humane trapping, natural deterrents, and professional assistance, you can protect your property while fostering a respectful relationship with the environment. Embrace these solutions to create a peaceful coexistence with the squirrels in your community!

With a growing need for effective pest management, services are evolving to meet specific challenges, from bird control to organic methods for stored grain insects and custom sterilization solutions. This article explores these essential services and how they contribute to a pest-free environment.
Birds can be a beautiful part of nature, but they can also pose significant problems, especially in urban areas. Common issues include noise, droppings that can damage property, and the potential for health risks. Bird control services in Ernakulam focus on humane and effective methods to manage bird populations. These services often include exclusion techniques, installing physical barriers like nets or spikes to prevent birds from nesting in unwanted areas; repellents, utilizing visual and auditory deterrents to make specific locations less attractive to birds; and monitoring and maintenance, conducting regular assessments to ensure that control measures remain effective. By employing Bird control service, property owners can mitigate risks and maintain a clean, safe environment.

By opting for Pest control service in Ernakulam, residents can protect their homes and businesses from the damage and health risks posed by pests.
For those concerned about chemical residues in their food supply, organic pest control for stored grain insects is an excellent solution.

By investing in professional pest control services, residents and businesses can create safer, cleaner environments. Whether you’re dealing with persistent pests or looking for sustainable solutions, there’s a service tailored to meet your needs.

What Makes Modern Solutions Pest Control Different from Traditional Methods?
Tumblr media
When it comes to protecting your home from pests, the options have significantly evolved over the years. Gone are the days of relying solely on harmful chemicals and aggressive tactics. Today, Modern Pest Control offers safer, smarter, and more effective ways to manage pests, all while keeping the environment in mind. Let’s explore how these modern approaches differ from traditional methods, especially when considering services like termite control services and eco-friendly pest control.
Eco-Friendly Focus
One of the most notable differences between modern and traditional pest control is the focus on environmental sustainability. Traditional methods often involved harsh chemicals that were effective in killing pests but could harm humans, pets, and the environment. In contrast, modern solutions pest control emphasizes using eco-friendly pest control methods. These approaches reduce the impact on ecosystems by using natural or low-toxicity products that are just as effective in eliminating pests but far safer for your family and the planet.
Smart Technology Integration
Modern pest control services now integrate advanced technologies that provide more precise and efficient treatments. For instance, smart sensors and digital monitoring systems can track pest activity in real-time, ensuring that infestations are detected early and controlled effectively. In termite control services, modern technologies allow for non-invasive detection methods, such as infrared cameras and moisture meters, which can identify colonies without causing damage to your property. Traditional methods, on the other hand, often relied on visual inspections, which could miss hidden issues.
Targeted, Minimal Use of Chemicals
Another difference between modern pest control and traditional methods is the targeted application of pesticides. Traditional approaches tended to involve widespread spraying of chemicals, regardless of whether the entire area needed treatment. Today, modern methods use a more strategic approach. Professionals identify specific pest hotspots and use the minimal amount of pesticide required, focusing on the areas where pests are most active. This reduces chemical exposure while still effectively dealing with the problem.
Long-Term Prevention
Modern pest control is not just about extermination; it’s about prevention. Modern pest control emphasizes preventing future infestations through proactive measures, such as sealing entry points, reducing moisture, and educating homeowners on best practices. Traditional methods focused more on reactive treatments, dealing with infestations after they occurred rather than preventing them in the first place. In termite control, modern approaches may include physical barriers and soil treatments that deter termites for years, unlike older methods that required frequent, harsh chemical treatments.
Customized and Sustainable Solutions
In traditional pest control, one-size-fits-all solutions were common. However, modern services provide tailored approaches depending on the specific type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the unique needs of the property. For example, eco-friendly pest control solutions are particularly valuable for those looking to avoid harsh chemicals or who live in sensitive environments, like homes with young children or pets.
Conclusion
The shift from traditional to modern solutions pest control reflects the growing need for safer, more sustainable, and effective pest management strategies. Whether it’s using eco-friendly pest control methods or employing cutting-edge technologies in termite control services, these modern approaches not only protect your home but also prioritize the health of your family and the environment.
