Harm caused Mouse garden

In winter, voles dig tunnels under the snow and feed on the bark of garden plants. These animals are extremely voracious, they eat per day the amount of food equal to their own weight. Their number varies all the time due to weather conditions, but during mouse pandemics, they become a real disaster for gardeners.

Citizens gardeners tell me a way to protect young apple seedlings from mice. Cazhentsy in our environment, and so freeze, and even these bastards all gray bark and twigs Stalks devour.

says Sagin, Saplings covered with sackcloth, but the mouse crawls inside and rampaged there. In addition, the reason for sacking became zaprevaniya young plants, and remove it was not possible to complete snowmelt, which in those parts happened in the middle of May!

It seems that there is no escape, but he is. Like everywhere else in gardening, the main method of prevention - proper agricultural techniques. Here are some recommended activities.

The mouse is the most dangerous in the snowy winter; less snow, the less mouse threat.

In mice, a lot of predatory enemies and snowless winter population of mice is significantly reduced.

cleaning leaves

No matter how we treat autumn harvest of leaves at the end of leaf fall, it really helps to avoid the buildup of mice on the site. It is imperative to remove those leaves berry, pome and stone plants, where you have seen the signs of disease in the summer. You can lay them in the compost, or if it was a serious illness, then burn.

autumn digging

We are told in detail, how to make digging in the autumnRecall only that, in contrast to the spring, the ground is not loose, do not break the clods. Large lumps of earth retain moisture, the mice in these conditions, especially and not roam.

Shelter spruce branches plants

This method is used for the protection of creeping plants, prikopalis in shkolke seedlings and ornamental plants, roses and other perennials. Plants should shelter spruce branches as closely as possible, the mouse does not want to get into the prickly needles.

The fence of the roofing

Around the plant is fence roofing, the lower part becomes stronger seeding the ground. Once the snow falls, pritopchite it around the fence, repeat the operation several times. Mouse, moving the snow will not be able to overcome this barrier.

snow Pritaptyvanie

This is the way, repeatedly tested the participants of our portal and confirm its effectiveness. Mice love the tender bark of young trees, but we can protect plants utaptyvaya snow around them.

Trample down the snow after each significant snowfall, during the thaw.

Trampling begin at a distance of half a meter from the trunk, the ring must gradually narrow and closely approach the boles. Since the autumn and do not forget to tie the trunks of young trees.

luring mice

On FORUMHOUSE we use humane ways rodent, let mice live and be happy, but away from our plant. But many people use this method - throw in attractive locations poison baits.

Here's another quite controversial, but a proven ancient way:

It is necessary to catch a mouse, a little singe her fur and release. All her family leave, can not tolerate the smell.

scaring mice

A great way to deal with mice, we can assume the repellency. Mice are afraid of strong smells, they hate naphthalene, birch tar and creolin, a substance used in veterinary medicine. In late autumn before snowfall can scatter around plant dust or ash impregnated kreolina 10% (1 kg per 10 liters of water). You can soak a cloth creolin.

Excellent results kreolina gives a mixture with a vegetable oil. Add a liter of oil a teaspoon creolin, mix properly and lubricate the lower part of the trunks of protected plants.

You can also add creolin in autumn whitewash.

Cooperation with cats

It is difficult to overestimate the role of cats in the regulation of the population of mice in the garden area. Two or three Mouser can cope with this problem better than creolin, and along the way they can disperse all the moles.

The best remedy - a cat. My mother cat and her two sons, all catch mice. I have four years worries do not know of any mouse I nor moles. Before that, only we do, and sprinkled the poison, and the ultrasonic instrument set.

Constantly living cat in the barn + coming to visit her cats = no mice in the house and on the site.

Fighting rabbits

Unfortunately, hares, looks even more lovely than voles, creatures, can also cause damage to your garden trudnopopravimy. Not only do they gnaw the bark of the trunks, but also snack sprouts. Since rabbits gardeners fighting repellency, obmazyvaya branches and trunks special mixture.

Mixture for repelling birds: mix 50% clay and 50% cow manure, 10 liters of this mixture was added 100 grams kreolina tablespoon or carbolic acid.

You can also tie a plant spruce branches (needles down), prickly raspberry shoots or stems of Artemisia bitter with a strong smell and taste. Generally, the wrapping plant a variety of materials, including old tights, is the most common way to protect them from birds.
