how to protect garden from crows?
Comments (4)At fairly close range, I think that I would recommend either #4 or #6 shot in a 12 guage shotgun. You probably are not planning on eating it anyway. ":^) Actually, they are very smart birds, yet pretty wary. A scare crow will do no good at all, in my opinion. I have not had problems with them and with the west nile virus there are not nearly as many crows and blue jays around here as there used to be. We have dogs and my son and his family have cats next door who feel that our yard is part of their extended home. On the rare occasion when they land in my yard, my dog Lady is quick to run them off if she is outside. A motion sensor to turn on a water sprinkler or radio to make noise or something of that sort might work if you start having damage from them. Good luck.

Comments (9)Hi there. I know you have come here for help and ideas. To be very honest cats will be cats and the only way to protect these babies (and all the others ones nesting that you dont see)is to keep the cats in the house. I know you are trying to help the strays too, please try to find them a no kill shelter or an organization that will spay/neuter and adopt them out. If you don't your neighborhood will be over run with cats. It's not the cats fault, just very bad cat owners that let them roam free. I love cats but I also love the birds, I have 4 cats, all rescued strays..and they do NOT go outside. Cats are not welcome on my property. Be aware this is a very hot topic, we understand you are trying to help but what I have said is the only sure way to protect wildlife of all kinds. Thanks for your concern....See MoreGravel for under-deck slope erosion protection?
Comments (2)Unfortunately, using gravel vs flagstone really wont help the scorpion problem. Being from Arizona, I have black light searched my gravel back yard, including under my deck for scorpions many times and lets just say, I was ALWAYS more then successful at finding many. As Southerncanuck has said, limestone is a good alternative as far as labor intensity goes. Hope this helped and Good luck!...See MoreHow To Protect Home After Removing Deck
Comments (7)it is very important to tuck top side of material behind siding as roof35 suggests. 30 lb tar paper will last from now to spring. Regardless of material used,do not caulk the edges. Use as few fasteners as required to hold material in place and for added leak protection drive each fastener through a bit of roof cement....See Morepjb999
