Varmit Control
What do ya'll do to prevent pests destroying almost mature bunches? Shotgun, cover bunches w/ bags, rodent poison? Here in SW FL I am always having problems with raccoons and squirrels. They love to bite a little on each fruit and they found my pineapples this week.

Re: Varmit Control
Pepper spray. You can make it yourself or buy it pre-mixed at any garden center. It won't hurt the plant or the varmints, but they stop nibbling on your stuff.

Re: Varmit Control
Get a dog! Just kidding. It is amazing how all of us have different pests. I have the gopher colony from hell. They took down a full sized double Mahoi in bloom and two unknowns. I have spent hundreds of dollars and wrapped every thing in the ground in wire. Good luck with your pests.

Re: Varmit Control
I have skunks that come every night and dig in my yard. I don't know how many times they have uprooted my blueberries , and dug so deep around my banana plants . They are after grubs. Should I put something down to kill the grubs or should I use a pepper spray around all my plants? Any suggestions ?

If they really are after grubs in your lawn you can treat with an number of insecticides that will take out the grubs. There are a few good granular products that you can spread on your lawn. If you'd rather take a more natural approach, do a search for something called Milky Spore. It is a biological that attacks and kills the grubs (similar to BT for caterpillars). I can't remember what name it is marketed under. |
