Avant Garden Looking Glass Hummingbird Feeder allows me to break the rules of this blog and to advise on an interesting and enhancing way to actually ATTRACT animals to your garden! I know – quite a switch. However, the topics here consider “control”, so I’m going to insist on “controlling” a bird population by inviting them in. This gorgeous little unit is very effective as a hummingbird attractor. Many people rave about not only its effectiveness as a feeder but they also enjoy – even revel – in the fact that it is simply gorgeous. Which it is. The pretty lines of the metal surrounding the glass allow terrific purchase for those hungry little birds who love the color and the goodies inside. Forgive me this perhaps odd intrusion with an attracting item, but I just had to deliver something a bit more pleasant to interrupt our constant flow of problem-solving in dealing with these animals, insects and bacteria with whom we share the Planet.

Birds? Rid!

Birds are beautiful animals, and a joy to have around normally. However, under many circumstances birds turn into pests to be rid of. When you have too many birds, they can cause all sorts of annoying effects, ranging from droppings to excessive noise. You may appreciate song birds, but not everyone enjoys the sound of a flock of seagulls next to their bedroom window, or the crackle of crows…

And then there are pigeons, to which we will dedicate an entirely separate blog post (or two). For now, I just wanted to recommend one great site for all your bird pest control needs:
Bird-X, Inc

You have probably heard about Bird-X already – a leader in the bird pest control field offering an array of non-kill products that are actually extremely effective. What I want to draw your attention to, is that they have a great “bird problem solver” on their site, which guides you through three simple questions towards the anti-bird measures best-suited for YOUR specific problem.

Just click and get to their website and then click on the bird problem solver link on the top right. Trust me, getting rid of birds has never been easier, or more humane.

Motion activated scarecrows are one of those great gadgets of the new era of pest control. This cool electronic owl is one of the best digital scarecrows on the market, and thus one of the most popular ones.

In fact, with some birds and rodents, the very sight of this beautifully crafted owl is enough to get them to stay away. Should one of the little critters get bold enough to wander in, this massive great-horned owl will notice them, turn its head towards the intruder and hoot. It’s great for surprising a human guest with as well

It actually looks great as well, so you have yourself a garden decor item, and pest control gadget, all in one. IT works on three AA batteries and is built to work outdoors for years.
