How to get rid mosquitoes naturally? Install bat boxes and martin bird houses
Here are details about the suggestion from Doodleydeesfarm.com on how to put up bat boxes and martin bird houses to get rid mosquitoes naturally: http://buff.ly/1VKOL8M
Here is an Audubon-approved bat house from Amazon that holds up to 20 bats:
Bats can eat an enormous amount of mosquitoes and other damaging insects such as cutworms and moths. Grooves or plates inside the box provide gripping spaces for the bats.
Purple Martin swallows are migratory birds that arrive in Florida in January.
How to Attract Purple Martins?
- Install bird houses specifically made for the Purple Martin species of bird, with small entry holes.
- Place Purple Martin houses in open locations away from trees, at least 40 feet from any other obstructions.
- Initially place a few Purple Martin decoys near the houses to attract real birds.
- Group more than one Purple Martin house together to create "colonies" of birds.
- Check the nests every few weeks and remove any predators' nests that may have invaded the Purple Martins' house.
- Make nesting materials available after the Purple Martins have arrived. This includes straw, pine needles, twigs, and other yard debris.
Here are the materials from Amazon:

How to Catch a Rabbit in Your Vegetable Garden
Trapping rabbits with a live trap is one of the most humane methods of rabbit control.
Rabbit Control Options
1. Repellents
Repellents are an effective alternative to a physical barrier and can also be less expensive than the cost of fencing.
DeFence® by Havahart® repels wild rabbits by scent (putrescent eggs). Another option is the dual deterrent, Havahart® Deer Off® Deer, Rabbit and Squirrel repellent. Deer Off® packs a 1, 2 punch repelling wild rabbits by scent (putrescent eggs & garlic) and taste (capsaicin). Rabbits are deterred by this scent and taste.
Quick and easy to set up, the Havahart®Spray Away detects motion and shoots a three second blast of water. The sudden motion, water spray and sprinkler sound combine to startle the rabbit, sending it away.
2. Traps
A well-positioned Havahart® live animal cage trap along with a tempting rabbit treat will make the trapping task simple.
Humane Havahart® rabbit traps come in a variety of styles and sizes. Before trapping check state and game regulations within your state. Check out our recommended rabbit baits.
Suggested baits for wild rabbits
Place the bait at the end of the rabbit trap.
- Brussel sprouts
- Carrots
- Lettuce
- Apples
- Spray the inside of the trap with apple cider

Exclusion Methods (Fences)
Fencing is an effective option for all critters who venture where they are not wanted. Putting up chicken wire or hardware cloth gets the job done. Be sure to place it two to three feet high (so a rabbit standing on its hind legs cannot reach the plant being protected) and bury it two to three inches into the ground.
Fi-Shock®, one of Havahart's sister brands, offers a wide variety of electric fencing solutions that can help you keep wild rabbits off your property.
