Conroy’s Creatures!
Ever watch that show on PBS, Kratt’s Kreatures which later turned into Zaboomafo? It featured two nature loving brothers trekking to animal habitats to observe these wonderful and amazing creatures. Well, I’m not much of an animal lover and it’s a miracle we even have a dog, but seems like the creatures here at our new home are loving us!
First brown recluse spiders and now moles! I’m just praying we’re not going to find any snakes in this heavily “treed” area with neighborhood lakes. Actually, before we bought this house my husband found a dead snake in the road, which he “forgot” to tell me about.
After being freaked out about the highly poisonous brown recluse spiders and surfing the internet for horrific photos, my husband bug bombed the house and got some heavy duty pesticide that the professionals use. I really would have loved to find something organic to use on these pests, but couldn’t find anything and the thought of getting bit by one was more terrifying then the pesticides used to kill them.
This site looks like it could hold the answer to our growing pest problems! Unfortunately, they had nothing for brown recluse spiders. Yet, they do have mole repellent and according to my husband who’s been digging up the front yard to find a sprinkler leak…we’ve got a heck of a mole problem! And if we ever have a snake or squirrel problem, they can help with that.
Not only does this site have the answers to our current critter problems, but the information about these troublesome critters has made me aware of other possible critter issues. Like squirrels, those fuzzy, cute creatures that basically keep to themselves, climb trees and eat nuts. We never had a squirrel problem (and I pray we don’t) but I’ve learned they can get into your chimney, attic and crawl space and die! Whew! Don’t want to experience that! And with two chimneys, a couple of crawl spaces and one big attic, we’ve should be on the lookout for squirrel activity.
Thankfully, if we ever have a squirrel problem, Havahart.com has natural squirrel repellent that is safe around bird feeders. As a family who likes to go as natural and organic as possible, this is good news! For us and our critters!
