What are Bird Mites?

As a parasite, bird mites attach themselves to birds and consume their blood. Not only can they threaten the health of birds, but when attached to humans, could cause great skin irritation. Removing a bird mite’s food source would be denying them life since they’d die in a few days. Not only do bird mites live in poultry houses and farms, but homes that keep birds as pets.

This poor little guy found his way into the trap this morning.

I always feel bad when I have to get rid of a mouse or rat. They are sweet and intelligent little animals, but unfortunately, they can carry diseases like Leptospirosis, which is a definite risk for the dog (who seems to have an insatiable urge to drink standing water in the garden). Trapping a rat is one of those ‘circle of life’ moments, where you remember that, sometimes, “nature is horrific and teaches us nothing.”

I grew up in Alberta, which is officially “rat free,” given that there was a “rat patrol” that monitored our borders, so worrying about rats is entirely new to my gardening repertoire. Here in Denmark, I live near the harbour city of Copenhagen, so we are most definitely not rat-free.

Therefore, I have to take a few precautions with compost in order to avoid attracting rats to the property. These include:

Planting mint near the compost (rodents hate it)

Burying all food scraps under yard waste

Avoiding adding bread or meat to the compost heap

Keeping the compost moist

Vermicomposting more desirable food sources in an indoor worm bin

As this unlucky fellow found out, these methods are not foolproof (although I am certain he came for the birdseed, as I’ve seen the crafty little bugger Tarzan-ing his way up into bird feeders). Taking preventative measures with your compost can, however, prevent a full-blown infestation, so hopefully you can avoid having to stare something that adorable in the face before putting it down.

Nobody likes slugs and snails all over their plants. They eat huge holes in everything, devour your strawberries, chew holes in your tomatoes, rip up your flowers and on top of that, they shit on...

Is professional pest control better than doing it yourself?

In today's day and age, more and more people have started considering do-it-yourself methods to get rid of any pests from their home as opposed to hiring professionals to handle this for them. This approach can include a variety of different techniques ranging all the way from the non-chemical methods like home-made pesticides to chemical methods like sprays and bait. But the most important thing which you need to understand about pest control is that no matter what you do, you will not be able to do a better job than a professional. Let me now tell you a little more about both these pest control options.

Professional services will know exactly how to tackle just about any pest problem that you may find in your home better than you. They will be able to do this much quicker than you as well. And if you actually look at it in the long run, you will find professional services to be a lot more cost effective than doing it yourself. This is because the DIY methods aren't as effective. This means that you're going to be spending a lot of money on pest control products. Now that you agree that professional pest control services are better than trying to do it yourself, here are some tips for you to find a good pest control service:

1. The first thing which you need to consider is whether the company you're thinking of hiring offers knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Are they able to determine what the problem is quickly and suggest the most effective solution?

2. The next thing which you need to check is whether the company you're thinking of hiring is insured, licensed and bonded? They need to have all the necessary credentials so that you don't have anything to worry about. They need to be insured in case something goes wrong during the process.

3. It is very important for you to know how much the entire service will cost before you sign any contracts. Most of the pest control companies nowadays offer free quotes through the internet or on the phone.

4. One more thing which you can check with the company is whether they offer any money back guarantees. If they really do provide excellent services, they should offer warranties as well. If they don't then it basically means that they aren't confident of their service. Are you okay hiring such a service?
