|
I have tried owls, snakes, moth balls and spray. None worked for more than a day. Tried the plastic cone around the trunk and they jumped to the top edge and crawled up anyway.

| Mosquito Problems, Decorate with Geraniums
|
|
I have a severe mosquito problem at my home. Only outside, thankfully, but that's where I like to spend all of my time. I don't have any standing water that I'm aware of but my lot is surrounded by pine trees. What can I do to get rid of them? I am getting anywhere from 3 to 50 bites (yes, that many) every time I walk outside for more than 5 minutes. I'm miserable. Please help!

| Controlling Spiders and The Biology of Spiders
|
|
Spiders are familiar to almost everyone. They are found virtually everywhere - from mountaintops to caves. They are commonly associated with water, soil, leaf litter, and low, dense plant growth. Only a few of the over 2500 U.S. species (over 500 species native to Michigan) may be found in human habitations.

| Controlling Bedbugs
|

Bed bugs are pests of domestic animals, bats, wild birds, and man. Climex lectularius is the only species in the north temperate regions that attacks man. Bed bugs are most commonly found in old hotels and boarding houses, but you can also find them in homes, apartments, restaurants, theaters, buses and offices.

| Bird Mites and Mammal Mites
|
|
Bird and mammal mites are often encountered as household invaders during the late spring and summer months. Mites (order Acarina) can be distinguished from their insect relatives by the two body regions (cephalothorax and abdomen), sucking mouthparts, lack of antennae, and four pairs of legs (as adults).

| Repelling Mosquitoes
|
|
To repel mosquitoes in your yard before a picnic or party, take equal parts of lemon dishwashing liquid, lemon scented ammonia, and lemon juice in a 20-gallon dial hose sprayer. Set the sprayer to 30 and spray entire yard. Be sure to do this early enough the day of the event so the water soaks into your grass.

| Rural Mailbox Tip
|
|
Be careful when going to get your mail from your mailbox if you have rural delivery. Now that it's warmer weather, watch out for all those little critters that are trying to find refuge from the sun. Just a few days ago, my husband found a wasp in our mailbox. Look inside to make sure you're not getting more than just your mail, when you put your hand inside.
