    Anytime your oak tree is dripping you've got to verify if it's dripping from the acorns. If that's the case, nothing is going to help you. Those are filbert weevils and they are not reliably controlled by spray or injection. Most common sources of oak dripping is from the acorns. If the oak tree has bugs like aphids feeding on its leaves, then injection will last one year typically.

    The glue paper did not work for me. Didn't catch any flies then the wind ripped it to shreds! Not good in my opinion. The bagged fly trap was used too. Caught alot of flies but disposal was a nightmare. Double bagged it and outside trash bin still stunk up for weeks!

    Question regarding an Oak Tree that is dripping sap droplets/Honey Dew. The tree was treated last yr with an injection and that seemed to have worked. Same problem again this yr. Also little acorns the size of peas have begun to drop as temps here in Nebraska are in the 90s. This issue has persisted the past 4-5 yrs. Thanks for any input.

    Thank you for some great information! I had a yellow jacket nest inside of a light fixture. The hive was actually inside my basement and it was huge!! I had to pay an exterminator to get rid of it. Afterwords I sealed all the light fixtures and any where else I could find where they could get in with silicone caulk.

    Great content! I have a big yard and on a budget. 1 acre total with foliage and dogs and cat here in FL. I am looking for a easy solution that kills all bugs like the concentrated formula but ok for animals. Can you make a video covering these concerns? I watched your mosquito videos and you talk about making a backpack fogger video. It would be great to review a good affordable yard system with tips. TY Zach!

    What about other animals/rodents, such as : dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats and/or mice? Do they ever get their paws caught in the device? I'm thinking of buying one, but I would have to manually purpose an entry access tunnel, wide enough only to allows squirrels and possibly rats/mice, entry to the trap itself. Perhaps you can make a video about that (setting it up, so that only squirrels and/or smaller rodents have access to the trap). Please let me know. Thanks!

    Where do you place this trap for ground squirrels? Do you stick one end of the trap right in the ground squirrel hole, do you place down in a tunnel like a pair of box traps, or do you just set it down on the surface beside a ground squirrel hole?

  • @gilldoyle2720
    @gilldoyle2720 2 місяці тому

    Zach, I've had a lot of luck with the Cinch traps for catching gophers. I have one stuck now in a ground squirrel hole. I've also put a Hav-a-Hart trap by the hole. No luck so far with either. This is the first time we've had ground squirrels in our yard. We have an elementary school across the street, and for thirty years the ground squirrels were content to live there, but now they've apparently decided to spread out, and the neibh bors are beginning to see them. (Perhaps the school has done something to send them running.) Are you still a fan of the tube trap?
