I've been looking at DIY bat boxes and Martin houses. I'm also going to cut some brush close to the house today. A friend in New Orleans area had good luck with the electric dyna trap. I have it set up, but no luck yet. It's supposed to break the life cycle within 4-6 weeks.


The parish comes and sprays if the weather conditions are right, but that's also only a temporary fix.

Tell the parish to hurry up so you don't perish. :p

spraying can also kill good bugs that we like, like honey bees
 
It's a good thing you don't live around a city. The raccoons would already have them around here.

I'm not pushing you to hand raise it. Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you had the egg in an incubator or under a chicken.

I have never seen a raccoon. I have seen a couple of possums. I have 3 large dogs that stay outside at night and I think they do a good job with predator control. They killed two foxes several years ago, but haven't noticed anything of late (knock on wood). Also, my entire property is enclosed and includes a foot of barbed wire at the top of the fence (I know things can still get in, but I think it helps with stray/wild animals).
yer looking quite cute of late Ms Heather

Thanks! Been a while since I pulled out the ol' clown costume, but I used to work children's events for our church all the time. :)

It happens fast.
Or a ladder.
I had a few birds that all of a sudden decided to sleep on the roof of another pen. I had to use a ladder and net each night to retrieve them. I had moved the ladder and one night after locking up, I went to get the ladder. I got sidetracked and 20 minutes later I went to get the birds. I found one of the pullets hiding in the grass, one was dead, 2 were gone (never to return).

I had a rooster in a cage in the driveway right next to my porch at dusk. I was going to carry him inside when it got fully dark. I went out to get him and a raccoon had already pulled him through the cage.


Sad! All of mine were fine again this morning. I have got to stop this habit though. They are also free-ranging all day now as opposed to when I am home, since they are already out in the mornings when I go to feed/water. They sure are happy though!

I know! We're hoping to have hives in the future, which is why I need solutions!!!! We have like 700+ kids in the summer so we can't just ignore it. The dragonflies help.
