[QUOTE="MKP777, post: 2780154, member: 114383"] We have guinea hens, they definitely sound an alarm to predators but mostly its when the hawks come in. We've had a badger come around but only at night. It was a one time thing and took me awhile to figure out what dug through the fence. I've never had issues with bears. I've seen tracks from cougars but only saw one once. Saw wolves once but they never have been an issue. Deer are an issue to our garden for sure. Wasps. When we got here it was like we were cursed from God. Thousands of them. Everywhere. I took 20 nests off the house and every time I took down a nest, more showed up. I studied all winter about wasps, my goal was to extinct the whole species. I found out I needed to put the wasp traps out, far away from the house. I found this stuff called Drionne dust from 'Bugspray.com'. You puff it all over your roof vents and eves. Its a repellent. They don't like it. Then there is Skillet, you put that in ponds, pools or water features. It breaks up the surface tension of the water so they can't land on it. For days I had millions of dead wasps in the pool. But after about 3 days, its creepy but they seemed to learn that the water was no good and ignored it. The wasps are not an issue anymore. With chickens you have chicken feed, with chicken feed you get mice. I shot 19 mice in one hour with a 22 before I gave up. I found air tight food bins to store the feed in. I use those mouse traps that can get 20 mice. I take them to an open field, with my suppressed 22 pistol and let them go. Its really improved my pistol shooting. I put bull snakes all over in summer and that seems to keep the mice down. But with coyotes.......I tried security lights, fence and motion detectors. No effect. Diplomacy has failed. [/QUOTE]
