Can't help but love the introduction..."I'm an organic gardener, I grow organically"

[@dvillebenny1445]

I have bats in my barn. (Bet you thought I was going to say belfry.) They are great for mosquitoes. But don't hang a bat house on your home. Bats poop like rats and leave droppings everywhere when they fly off. They will stain the side of your house, cement and wood. Put bat houses out away on a tree or barn where it doesn't matter. The bat guano is good for composting.

[@msdixie1972]

They also host bat bugs which are just as bad as bed bugs! Ask me how I know!

[@kan35611]

So bat dung is good for weed which you compost soil

[@rightytighty3031]

Thank you for sharing this info .. and for simply getting right to the point of each product and its purpose. Too many videos start with people's life story etc... Thanks again, great information!

Those small traps with the plastic bag, and some water are catching on. We used one with fantastic success for the emerald ash Beatle. Saved our roses.

I have just randomly found this video and would like to thank you for the great job you do. Awesome!

[@Chuckknotts2000]

Great video! I dig the pink scarf and matching pink gloves.

[@marcopolo3001]

Wow thats some biological warefare there missy, you go girl.

[@Crosbhealach]

I like the mesh cube, can feed the dead flies to chickens, ducks and fish

[@bodybalancer]

Great advice... I thought you might mention fly predators- I grew up around horses and it was the best solution my mom ever found to control flies in the barn around the horses. I'm not sure where she got them I think from a feed/tack store or online but they'd come in that packet with some shavings and we would just sprinkle that onto where the manure was dumped. There were still always flies down at the barn, but not so many and hardly any farther away near the house.

[@waltershumate5777]

For mosquitos, try epsom salt and mint mouth wash and spray that around

[@johnlord8337]

Chickens scratching in the compost eat the larvae. More bird boxes for bluebirds, swallows, purple martins, and tweeties for all the flying bugs.

[@johnlord8337]

Get some tangle foot, and then wipe down a trap board with thin smears of fruit dookie. Then spray or paint between the fruit smears tangle foot. They land, walk around and eventually get stuck in the tanglefoot.

[@sirjuaffreblumpkins9396]

Damn, those were honestly good tips. i'll be living up in the mountains in a couple of weeks and this will help out.

[@johnboerkamp4022]

One thing that I never understood is why they call natural farming organic, when organic means something either is alive or came from something that was alive. Why not call it neutral farming because you get out the same quality you put in

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Adopt me to come and live in your farm. Love that you grow organic food. I have a small container garden myself. Thanks for the advice. I'm preparing for my first dinner outside and I want to make sure that there are no mosquitoes.

[@ChoxTheMuse]

That fly trap box is an interesting thing!! thanks for the share =)

Breeding Dragonflies helps with mosquitoes too!

[@AtlantaTerry]

Yes. And also hummingbirds. A small water feature will help attract both.

[@getrekd7602]

Incredible video, awesome way to take of pests in a non-toxic way.

[@edwin4625]

I just finished watching this video on 30May2018. That's a lot of work. I'm 100% sure I will never own a farm. But I did enjoy the educational video, thanks for sharing.

[@garyduncan6589]

A fantastic video, by a magnificent narrator!

[@abelperez8373]

Great job on the video! Thank you for sharing such helpful tips.

[@mamaboocee]

I just watched a video where the guy used cutter and other "organic" chemicals for mosquitos. I looked up the ingredients in cutter (which he recommended) and i was very disappointed. It is an irritant and it can get in the ground water. I really prefer your approach- it is healthier and there is no "immunity buildup," to your methods! I like to use things that are safe for EVERYTHING but the targeted pest. Mosquito DUNKS and BITS are awesome. Also, a spray mixture of beer, epsom salts and listerine sprayed on shrubs, grass, bushes and trees at night (never in sunshine) kills the mosquitos but is safe for plants. The beer attracts the mosquitos, the salts dehydrate them. I also usE DYNATRAP with the ATRAKTA attractant scent, and it really works great. It traps them with UV light and co2 and it traps a great deal of them, too! I now have ZERO mosquitos, where I used to have so many, we could not even go out on our deck! We also have a healthy bat population, they are fun to watch as the swoop and dive for this pesky little monsters! So far, no flies or wasps, but I am ready for them! No I need to repel the squirrels and chipmunks!

[@Gabe-zz5gw]

Wow you are awesome! Very peaceful and hardworking.

[@pwu8194]

I sat in my backyard watching who's pollinating my vegetable flowers. I didn't see bees. I saw flies and ants pollinating my okra. "Most people are aware that bees are vital for the pollination of flowers, but many don't realize that flies are second in importance to bees as pollinating insects. Flies have been documented to be primary pollinators for many plant species, both wild and cultivated." - UC ANR Flies - The Pollen Nation! - UC ANR

[@briansmobile1]

Great tips, I also enjoyed the bats!

[@kennyyang2566]

Love your organic way to control bugs. Do you have organic way to control termite and ants?

[@janesmith8050]

Great tips here ~ but PLEASE do not use sticky paper traps, I used to until a bat caught and died on one 😔

[@oscarmendez9395]

Nice job with the video and thanks for the helpful tips😁👍

[@saltlifegull4091]

Tricia, awesome video and thanks for the work devoted to teaching us. Question: How do the flies get into the trap, looks like the wire mesh is small. How can bats see a a bat house? Can I put them on a wooden fence?

[@corrinjade3973]

I've been trying to spread the word about the benefits of bats. Yours is the first video I've come across where I didn't have to do that. :) thank you. I'm big into eco friendly organic ways to deter pests. Did you know wasps and yellow jackets also hate the smell of peppermint? And ants hate lemons? :)

[@opulentmiracle8146]

Bats don't eat that many mosquitos. Go watch them feed at night. They fly far above the height at which mosquitos fly. Mosquitos stay around structures and amongst tree growth, bats fly in open spaces and above structures. I have a bat house and I like bats, but I do not believe the myth that they feast on mosquitos.

[@bekkishetter7504]

This explains why our grandparents used to hang drying peppermint on the screen doors. They said it kept the flies and yellow jackets away. I meet a women that plants every year lemon grass around her pool and said it keeps the bugs away at night while their swimming. Thanks for sharing love your content.

[@hollienguyen5222]

@@opulentmiracle8146 dragonflies eat mosquitoes and bats fly low to the ground.

Tell that to the ants that are all over my lemons on my lemon tree. I think it's the sugar in the lemon they harness, if that's the white stuff that builds up on some of the lemons!

Perfect solution for my present problem. Gonna try it asap. Thanks

[@jay-by1se]

I grew up in Grass valley. It was a great place to grow up 30 years ago.

[@AtlantaTerry]

I know that fly trap works very well. My late father was a carpenter and used to build them for friends and clients. Put one over a fresh pile of dog poo or a piece of corn on the cob - the flies can't resist either one of those!

[@larryseaman5185]

Great video, thanks for sharing but I don't fully understand how the meshed box works. I would be interested in making one but could you explain the design a bit more & how it works etc please?

[@MotorcrossRacer1]

Great video........i learned a lot from you..........i got fruit flies in my apartment, i got them under control with apple cider.....it really works :)

[@alextuthill282]

Wow, this was really well done. Very informative!

[@DFDuck55]

I make fly traps from empty plastic milk jugs. Put some smelly stuff in. Cut a few upside-down "V" near the top, push the V in so there is enough room for a fly or yellow jacket to get through it. Hang it somewhere. If it gets full just toss it in the trash and make another.

[@toddsimpson8690]

In our area bat boxes are needed placed away from the house and minimum of fifteen feet up. The bats drop out and fly up in a curve. There they would hit your porch also cleanup keeps the poop off your shoes and carpets. Plans for fly box would be helpful too

Hi. This video is very illustrative and concise, thanks. I've got a question, how do you prepare the bait for the flytrap (1:36 of the video)? I mean, how many portions of ammonium carbonate vs yast?

[@banderson7164]

Bats also carry bat bugs, a bed bug, so do not install on your house, unless you want a large bill from your exterminator, hang them a long distance from your home.

My husband bought cho-lok from online market. I am concerned. I'd rather being bitten by mosquitoes. Our house is clean. Not many bushes around. Mosquitoes bite me. O.K. No problem. I can get up early. Mubakkiran I mean. I don't have a very good conotation with that word since I was raised up in W.Maju Section 2 where the concentration of Chinese is high. My mom used to ask us buy something from the market. I went there with my 2nd sibling. We find cho-lok on the grass. We were children. I always take the food, not to eat but I displaced them somewhere else. Now I feel guilty. We are of different religion. Now my husband put cho-lok for mosquitoes to go away. Irritating. The smell of the chemical compound I mean. I'm not used to it. A-sap I mean.

[@garrickgarrick464]

[@cricketcricket9749]

I did the garlic spray last year...didn't do squat. Very expensive stuff.

Why not make it at home? It should be easy to test if sulphur in garlic juice kills mosquitoes on contact as it advertises, and if so, I'll make a larger batch for the yard.

Wasps kill honey bees. I lost many hives to those. 1-acre dynatrap really works if you turn it on just BEFORE Mosquitoes are active. Also a large bucket with gold fish in it. They love mosquitoes larva

[@steverogers9275]

If everyone kept a kiddie pool with a goldfish in it, I think mosquitos would be hard to find. At least in dry areas.

[@BackToConstitution]

The owner of that horse isn't going to leave his horse dry, so you're stuck with mosquitoes, as long as there is a horse withing 1/4 mile

[@akeleven]

Should have a strong warning that those fly strips will stick to anything and leave a stain. The problem with bats is that you have to take in your hummingbird feeders at night!

[@Metqa]

Why? Are the bats feeding from the hummingbird feeder? Are they running into it? What are the bats doing to your feeders? The bats around my house swoop around catching insects. I've never seen them near flowers or feeders, mostly around street lamps.

[@chilloften]

I love the bats!! That's so awesome. Great tips!!

[@VitorMadeira]

[@mysciences]

Thank you for the video, what was the name of the mosquito repellant garlic spray?

[@Imwright720]

Birds and bats eat lots of bugs but mosquitoes are to small for them to bother with. They prefer much larger flying insects. They still eat plenty of bugs so they are worth having around. Yes, they might eat a few but not enough to matter.

[@artsychic2000]

That fly parasite looks like something I could use. I was trying to sit on the patio the other day and they were everywhere. I was completely astonished when a large bee like insect flew into the midst of several fly's that were hanging around a beverage stain on one of the cement pavers. It suddenly pounced on one and promptly flew off with it. It came back twice and flew off with two more. I can't seem to find anything on it as i'm at a loss of what to look for. It was amazing to watch. I do have a pond but thankfully it's full of little frogs I throw in whenever I find one on the property. I haven't had any mosquito's at all this year. Thanks for all the good advice. I'll be looking into some of these products.

[@joshgsxr1000]

artsychic2000 look up a Robber fly, this is most likely what you saw catching the house flies.

[@grantmyers7593]

I have built bat boxes and got the plans on the internet. I put them about 15' in the air on a post. Bats are very curious creatures and are the best way to rid your area of mosquitoes long term. They will find these bat boxes and use them. Make sure to keep them away from areas that you don't want their guano to be near, due to diseases. I wouldn't place them anywhere near my house or buildings. If there is a light in the distance that attracts the mosquitoes, you can see the bats swoop down eating the bugs.

[@bekkishetter7504]

Put your bat box 15 feet up on a tree will work..protects them from predators. Also, the guano is collected and prized as a great fertilizer in some countries and sold at a premium. If you ever find a baby their are all kinds of recipes to feed it on-line. Very easy to raise. They have very good vision close up and if you ever find yourself in a mass of them; just move slowly and they will fly around you and catch the mosquitoes before they get you. Bats are nice to have around; I have sparrow bats on our property and they eat a lot of bugs in our woods and they also are entertaining to watch at dusk fling around and eating the bugs.

[@bekkishetter7504]

Also; put the bat box on the south side of the tree for winter. We lost a large amount of the population because of a virus that isn't contagious to man; and a major freeze one year. I talked to farmers that were picking them up out of the snow and putting them in the sheds to save them. They fed them antibiotics in water to save the sick ones. Scientist discovered that if we lose the bats and other predator insects we would be overrun by disease carrying bugs in a matter of four days. This would cause major problems for us. This is why it is important to go organic to save our World.

[@j.b.9581]

Hi there. Great video. The screened-in fly trap looks easy to make. Can you post instructions, please? And, you are correct that mosquitoes breed in ANY standing water. I lived in the South for years. Ponds, standing water in wheelbarrows, like you show, those sites are breeding grounds for mosquito larvae. Thank You.

[@Metqa]

Mosquito can breed in a soggy lawn. They just need a place that won't dry out before the larvae mature.

[@pershop4950]

The weird thing about those fly traps is that I wonder if they flies would be coming to my yard anyway, if I wasn't attracting them to go into the traps! But as for mosquitoes, I know they're around...gotta get rid of them!

[@aldupuis6791]

Rock on lady!

[@opcn18]

Bats do not eat many mosquitoes at all. A bat does eat multiples of its body weight in insects on a regular basis, but they eat overwhelmingly large insects like moths. Few species even bother with mosquitoes at all and those that do eat them as meals of opportunity while hunting for moths.

[@opcn18]

They could theoretically, but they never ever do. That figure was developed by dividing the amount of food that they eat by the mass of a mosquito, not actually looking at what they actually eat. In reality no study examining what bats actually eat has ever found more than 1% of their stomach contents to consist of mosquitoes. www.mosquito.org/faq#bats

[@bradwade5942]

Great vid, Ma'am, thanks for sharing.

[@meesterp]

Copper pieces in water features-no skeeters. Fruit exposed on compost pile will attract fruit flies which will then attract a variety of predator insects. (wasps traps?! No way) Hornets eat mosquitos. Bats generally eat moths. We have had hornet's nest overhanging or pool without anyone getting stung we're fortunate to be coming into our 7th year of having a hornet's nest nearby though sometimes I don't know where it is what I do know is that the queen hornet is eating the softwood on our cedar fence to start the nest. If I do find the nest in the fall I avoid raking leaves anywhere near it in case it makes it safer for her to get back into the ground for the winter. The queen starts the nest all by herself.

[@BareTheMark]

I'm surprised the bats took to the house lol it's right next to your front door

[@rr7firefly]

One day some clever mechanical engineer will invent an effective mosquito trap. He will become a millionaire. Schools will be named after him.

[@helenbryan1752]

The garlic mosquito barrier did nothing to the mosquitoes in my yard in NYC. Maybe because they spray here for West Nile and they've mutated? Nothing seems to stop them.

[@1happycountrymom677]

I hate the bats, but don't mind the wasps.......you can also put a few ducks with the chickens and they will snap up all the flies.

[@zozjotej]

I'm thinking it's better to have mosquitoes around than bats.

[@TruAnRksT]

So Around 2:00 the flies are attracted to the bait but since they got "in" by going under the box to get to the bait WHY are they going to go up through a tiny hole in the fabric into the trap instead of just going out the way they came? Seems like if you turn the box upside down and put the bait inside so they have to get through the tiny hole to get to the bait it might work better. But either way the box would be pretty much the same. Canned cat food with a little water works quite well as an attractant in traps too. Especially once it starts going off.
