Anyone an Ecologists? Predation (Red Fox)
Comments (4)If there are feral cats in the area then the area is already imbalanced and no longer a pristine native area. So all the rules of what balances what are pointless. What matters is what balance is being produced by the interchange of existing and transitory predators as they move through the area looking for prey that they can catch. From the tone of your comments, you are regarding the Red Fox as alien. However the species and its subspecies has been on this continent for over 100,000 years. So then it is a part of a pristine native habitat. You need to define whether or not the habitat you are looking at is indeed pristine native or suburban in nature. While a suburban area is seen as native habitat the onsite presence of men and human activity, such as farming, by its nature strips away any semblance of purity and represents an intrusion and adulteration of the natural world. Rules regarding predator and fair game go out the door. If you consider the beast to be too dominant and destructive of other animal populations then my best advice is to provide it a feeding station where appropriate food, such as canned dog food, can be provided on an intermittent basis only to supplement its diet and provide some relief from over-predation....See MoreRed Fox Urine Deterrent for Chipmunks
Comments (7)I had no intention of using it indoors! I live in a retirement community and they have a contract with an exterminator who came two weeks ago and set a trap which the chipmunk ignored. Guy couldn't find the entrance hole so he just put the trap along the edge of the house. I thought he would be more effective than that. After he left, we found the hole and my husband set a squirrel trap with peanuts which the chipmunk entered but escaped after eating the peanuts. The trap is too big for chipmunks so we ordered a small chipmunk trap. My husband sprayed a garlic spray around the house that we used to deter mosquitoes. So far, I haven't heard them. Maybe that worked. Hope the fox urine will work. If not, there's always the trap. Some things you just have to figure out yourselves...lol...See MoreZelkova or Katsura?
Comments (31)IME, you need the right combination of conditions for a katsura to release that tell-tale scent. And not all katsuras will offer it in the same degree - as an example, the weeping forms release no scent at all (or none that I have ever detected), named forms do to some degree and the species tree releases it most intensely. It is a naturally occuring chemical, maltol, that is released into the atmosphere as the leaves abscise (petioles separate from the stems) and drop from the tree. So best when there is some breeze or light wind to encourage abscission. And it will carry best if the air is not too cold - a sunny, warm fall afternoon is best :-) And the tree needs some maturity to it before the scent becomes very pronounced (might well be a factor of leaf volume - more leaves = stronger scent). You can also get some light scent from the fallen leaves themselves although I find that to be very incidental compared to the actual shedding of the leaves/separation of the petiole that typically triggers the release of this chemical. Katsuras are not the slightest bit drought tolerant and will respond to drought stress and dry summers by early leaf drop. And the early leaf drop will not produce fragrance. Same with any early frosts that would cause premature leaf drop or drying and shrivelling of the foliage before the leaves colored up and fell naturally....See MoreTrees with red foliage
