From early spring to late autumn, we carefully look after their shrubs, fruit trees and young saplings. With the onset of the winter holiday season is closed and the sites remain largely unattended. And then the owners of them are mice, rabbits, and other representatives of the family of rodents.
And getting hurt when opening the new season, you notice that: here the bark of apple podgryzena and there the young seedlings after the invasion of rodents have no chance to survive. Of course, every gardener is trying to maximally protect your shrubs and trees from hungry winter guests. But not everyone can find the most effective way that will give one hundred percent protection.
How to protect your site from rodents
My husband and I are engaged only in the garden and the garden, and also keep a small farm. In it, there are chickens and indoutki and geese turkeys. Accordingly, in the bins there are stocks of animal feed and grain. Perhaps that is why our trees do not suffer from the invasion of rodents. After all, they always have something to eat even in winter, even in the summer. And our cat bead - red beauty, does not give a particularly clear up any mice or rats.
But in the last year already in the autumn, some little animals dragged for a week all the little brood of ducklings (14 goals), a pair of ducklings on the day. My husband and I did not know what to do, his head missing, even cry (sorry for all the kids). So this year in the spring, as soon as the duck sat on the eggs, we were prepared.
Purchased from a friend homemade deterrent system that runs on batteries. Rooted to the spot as expected, calculating range, close to the nest. Pah-pah-pah, no chick was not gone and was not injured, except for that one little duckling forty not dragged. But my mother duck protecting him as best she could, and then we could come to the rescue. But that's another story, and it's not about this).
On the Internet you can find a lot of tips on how to protect their trees from rodents. But are they all right? Someone advised to wrap the trunks of spruce branches, and someone says, that he had a mouse in the area in the shelter of lapnika build their nests.
Someone advised to stamp the snow in tree trunks, but because not everyone has the opportunity after each snowfall visit their garden. And by hares, this method will not help. After all, if the mouse gnaw the bark of a tree below snow level and will not get into the packed snow, then gallop-packed crust for double-crested there is no trouble. But rabbits gnaw the bark from the top.
