Well, the ''judges'' are still trying to decide. And, i went out today, hand split most of that ash, only found a few bugs left on or around the wood after i sprayed the other day. they suggest a spray that has Imidacloprid in it , its in a shrub and tree mix that i have, i'll give them another shot of it tomorrow when i restack the wood i split today.
Chickens are excellent for dealing with bug infestations. I know someone who had a black widow infestation and couldn’t get rid of them with anything...until their chickens got turned loose on em.
Didn’t know that. Funny how nature works, chickens will not touch a honey bee. I have 5 hives and my yard is always full with the white clover. Chickens just walk by them. Any other bug is fair game.
Probably because the bees can fly off. I think chickens need to see it up close and peck at it. But I am just guessing.
This is a BIG moth. Saw him last night at work. Boot is a size 11. I think it is the Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar moth. Largest moth by mass.
Here is a bad one to look out for... CDC: Vile 'Kissing Bugs' Spread North Into Delaware | The Weather Channel Mostly active at night, the kissing bug feeds on the blood of mammals, bird and reptiles. They live in a wide variety of environmental settings but typically in the proximity of an animal upon which they can feed, the CDC reports. They also can be found in wooded areas, beneath porches, under cement, between rocky structures, in outdoor dog houses or kennels, in rock, wood and brush piles or beneath bark. Twenty-nine states have reported sightings or encounters with 'kissing bugs.' (CDC)
