    I have bats in my barn. (Bet you thought I was going to say belfry.) They are great for mosquitoes. But don't hang a bat house on your home. Bats poop like rats and leave droppings everywhere when they fly off. They will stain the side of your house, cement and wood. Put bat houses out away on a tree or barn where it doesn't matter. The bat guano is good for composting.

    Great advice... I thought you might mention fly predators- I grew up around horses and it was the best solution my mom ever found to control flies in the barn around the horses. I'm not sure where she got them I think from a feed/tack store or online but they'd come in that packet with some shavings and we would just sprinkle that onto where the manure was dumped. There were still always flies down at the barn, but not so many and hardly any farther away near the house.

      Get some tangle foot, and then wipe down a trap board with thin smears of fruit dookie. Then spray or paint between the fruit smears tangle foot. They land, walk around and eventually get stuck in the tanglefoot.

    In our area bat boxes are needed placed away from the house and minimum of fifteen feet up.
    The bats drop out and fly up in a curve. There they would hit your porch also cleanup keeps the poop off your shoes and carpets. Plans for fly box would be helpful too

    • @opulentmiracle8146
      @opulentmiracle8146 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Bats don't eat that many mosquitos. Go watch them feed at night. They fly far above the height at which mosquitos fly. Mosquitos stay around structures and amongst tree growth, bats fly in open spaces and above structures. I have a bat house and I like bats, but I do not believe the myth that they feast on mosquitos.

      This explains why our grandparents used to hang drying peppermint on the screen doors. They said it kept the flies and yellow jackets away. I meet a women that plants every year lemon grass around her pool and said it keeps the bugs away at night while their swimming. Thanks for sharing love your content.

    I just watched a video where the guy used cutter and other "organic" chemicals for mosquitos. I looked up the ingredients in cutter (which he recommended) and i was very disappointed. It is an irritant and it can get in the ground water. I really prefer your approach- it is healthier and there is no "immunity buildup," to your methods!
    I like to use things that are safe for EVERYTHING but the targeted pest. Mosquito DUNKS and BITS are awesome. Also, a spray mixture of beer, epsom salts and listerine sprayed on shrubs, grass, bushes and trees at night (never in sunshine) kills the mosquitos but is safe for plants. The beer attracts the mosquitos, the salts dehydrate them. I also usE DYNATRAP with the ATRAKTA attractant scent, and it really works great. It traps them with UV light and co2 and it traps a great deal of them, too! I now have ZERO mosquitos, where I used to have so many, we could not even go out on our deck! We also have a healthy bat population, they are fun to watch as the swoop and dive for this pesky little monsters! So far, no flies or wasps, but I am ready for them! No I need to repel the squirrels and chipmunks!

      The fruit flies will be attracted to the vinegar and drown.

  • @xanadu1jw
    @xanadu1jw 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Black soldier fly larvae are very good for keeping other flies away also. They consume compost and I believe they eat the larvae of other flies and they will consume meat & dead animals too if you have a problem with that. The adult fly is very pretty and doesn’t carry disease because she never eats & therefore isn’t attracted into your house to get on food, doesn’t bite or sting, only lives a short time to lay her eggs. She looks like a small, dainty, irridescent black wasp.
