Comments (9)I didn't expect to find this guy when I turned over a log bordering my veggie shade garden last week: The photo is from the site linked below. They say, "Some scientists believe a rubber boaÂs home range could be as small as 100 square yards if the snake can find adequate food, cover, and hibernation sites there." Think of it!! You could have a permanent resident rodent killer in a space about the size of a family garden! He went right back into the cover around the garden. I have zero problems with snakes and went after this guy so that I could get him off the ground and have a good look at him. I wouldn't have been so quick to pick him up if he'd been a couple feet long. But, even at that size, I doubt if he'd have been able to bite me - tiny mouth. My behavior was different when I lived in rattlesnake country but a rubber boa bears no resemblence to a rattler. (Snakes usually have beautiful skin. :o) Found a tick on my clothes today. I do NOT want to find the next one on my skin!!! digitS' Here is a link that might be useful: Montana Outdoors - Rubber Boa...See MoreRow cover exclude mice/birds?
Comments (12)I mined my entire garden with snap traps this spring after suffering through the same issues last year. Fifty dead mice (and a few voles) later, the amount of mouse damage has greatly decreased. Use PB. I think a mouse or vole is a more likely culprit than a squirrel, esp. for brassicas....See MoreIf you have an indoors worm bin
Comments (10)Many people are confused and think that they are one and the same , I assure you they are not,. There are some differences for one gnats are of a darker color and have long gangly legs. FF are fast fliers where gnats are cruisers. FF are attracted to any ripe fruit but gnats can be too. Mostly gnats might be in your kitchen sink drain, but they really love soil and will try and lay their eggs in that soil. For indoor plants I use bonide systemic granuals it will kill any eggs if used per direction and it wont harm plants, but I wouldnt use this within 2mo of putting any nectaring plants outside. Sticky cards around plants might be the best thing to catch gnats. In this photo you can see by their tan color they are all fruit flies...See Moresunnybunny
