Some methods of controlling or repelling deer in the past have involved hanging human hair from branches of trees or using bars of soap to repel deer. These are not the most effective methods, deer have benn seen eating bars of soap.

There are two major type of commerically produced deer repellents, contact repellents and area repellents. Contact repellents are applied directly to the plant that is being protected which causes them to taste bad. Area repellents are placed in problem areas and repel by smelling bad.

Following label directions can give you the best effectiveness. Most repellets should be appliedon a dry day with the temperatures being above freezing. Younger trees need to be treat completly as deer love the tender young growth. Older trees are generally treated to a height of 6 feet above maximum expected winter snow depth. Deer browse from the top down so make sure to treat at the bud or new growth level of theplants you want to protect.

Moles are woodland animals in nature, but can quickly colonize and spread through adjacent residential properties if not handled properly. Since they need a well-established tunnel network to survive, the longer they're allowed to tunnel, the more habituated they become and difficult to control.

Moles live most of their lives in underground tunnels, or runways, displayed as low ridges on the surface of yards, flowerbeds, gardens and other landscapes. Moles create these tunnels while in search of food, sometimes creating a vast interconnected "highway" system. Moles dig runways also to provide protection and living space for travel, resting, and nesting.

Mole tunnels are frequently found under fence lines and dirt roads, along sidewalks, under lawn turf, and along flowerbeds -- anywhere subterranean insect life is prolific.The main runways are usually about 6 inches under ground level, but may be as shallow as 2 inches or as deep as 20 inches. Shallow runways are usually used only once.

Moles come to the surface occasionally, mainly at night, to search for food, water, and nesting material. Migrations may occur overland also.

OVER 5000+ units sold.

Reduce Biting Flies by 80%. Kills 1 lb. of flies every day. NO MESSY BAITS...NO CHEMICALS, just add soapy water! A simple effective one time investment.

The Epps Biting Fly TrapTM is uniquely effective because it traps biting flies by using the flies own natural behavior patterns. Many biting flies are attracted to large objects of contrasting color to the surroundings because such objects tend to be potential hosts like cattle, deer, and horses. Also, biting flies such as stable flies, horse flies, green heads, deer flies, bull flies, and yellow flies tend to circle the host before actually landing to bite. The EPPS Trap takes advantage of these behaviors by providing a large, contrasting surface area, with transparent areas (which are actually clear plastic deflectors) representing air space between an animal’s legs and over its back through which the flies would normally circle before feeding. Flies see the deflectors as open spaces and try to fly through then. They hit the deflectors and ricochet into the soapy water in the trays below. Dish soap is added to the water in the trays to cause the flies to be wetted and drown faster.

THE WORM FACTORY COMPOSTER

The Worm Factory is a multi-tray worm composter that uses red wiggler worms to enhance compost while speeding up the process. Fill each stacking tray with food scraps, junk mail and other household waste. Worms start in the bottom tray and migrate upward as they break down the waste. This allows worms to separate themselves from the finished compost making it easy to add nutrient-rich fertilizer to plants and gardens without sorting worms. Additionally, nutrient-rich moisture is captured in the collection tray and can be drained as liquid fertilizer known as "worm tea".

Master gardeners agree that compost made by worms is the most beneficial for your garden and house plants. The Worm Factory®, by Cascade Sales Manufacturing Inc., uses an upward migrating design that makes producing this nutrient-rich "black gold" easy and effective!

Out of all worm composters, the Worm Factory® is the most efficient, producing the most compost in the least amount of space. This makes it perfect for anyone with indoor space limitations, especially apartments and condos! The stacking tray feature allows you to add up to seven trays to meet your growing compost needs.
As waste in the lower trays is converted to compost, worms migrate upward in search of sustenance. This means that when the lower trays are ready for your garden, most worms will have left that tray. This prevents you from having to go through trays, picking out worms by hand. Once a tray has been emptied, simply place the tray on the top of the worm factory and begin filling it again with waste. This cycling, stackable tray system also means the Worm Factory® can produce nutrient-rich compost and "worm tea" at a faster rate than traditional forms of composting.

Larvicides are insecticides that target larvae in the breeding habitat prior to the emergence of the adult form. As an active ingredient Summit incorporates Bacillus thurengiensis subsp. Israelensis (Bti) in multiple formulations. Bti is a target specific bacteria discovered in the deserts of Israel . This non-living, non-viable bacteria is one effective and environmentally benign larvicides utilized in insect control. Deadly to mosquitoes when ingested by its larvae, and that of the other typical pest flies of the insect family Diptera (true flies), professional applicators and homeowners alike can be sure they will not adversely harm non-target organisms.

Mist blowers inject liquid into a large air blast. This process breaks the liquid down into smaller particles which helps to apply the liquid product. The air volume is usually constint. The liquid can be injected into the air blast at different amounts of create different applications rates for mistblowing. More liquid in the air volume creates larger particles, less liquid in the air volume creates smaller particles.

A mist blower can be used to apply almost any liquid product in an outdoor environment. Many common uses for mist blower applications include:

Insect Control-aphids, army worms, corn borer, corn ear worm, flies, gnats, grasshoppers, mosquitoes (Encephylitis/West Nile Virus), stinkbugs, and ticks.

Truck/Garden Produce/Horticultural- melons, orchards, pumpkins, strawberries, sweet corn, tomatoes, greenhouses, nurseries and vineyards, tree farms, nut bearing trees and pecan, blueberries.

Pasture/Range Spraying- weed control, broadleaf, spraying road ditches, brush, fence rows, spray under trees and great for inaccessible areas.

Livestock Insect Control- beef, dairy, feedlots, horses, poultry, swine, bison, antelope, goats, deer, elk, sheep.

By mid-fall of every year, through out most of the U.S. and similar temperate zones, domestic mice and rats and some other local outdoors species will ,have already found the places they plan to spend the winter. There may not yet be enough signs for you to notice them, their droppings or other signs, but that could change quickly. They have most likely begun producing their next litters, and have found and laid down trails to the places where you keep the food and nesting materials they will need for the next several months.

Mice can spread more than 20 kinds of organisms that can cause diseases of humans and pets. These include a variety of food poisoning bacteria like Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli, and others; tapeworms, mites, ticks, and rickettsial pox. Other rodents, which are widespread and may also come indoors for the winter such as deer mice and white-footed mice which can carry and spread other disease organisms like Hantavirus, plague and Lyme Disease.

We offer a great selection of mouse and rat control products from Motomco. Poisons and glue traps. Glue traps work well as they are easy to dispose of once a rodent is caught.
