How to get rid of rodents in yard
How to get rid of rodents naturally - Nature-Cide
in the garden this morning we're chasing
down those pesky nuisances that can hurt
your plants kcal9 Silvia Lopez and Nick
fedorov show us how to effectively
control rodents we're in the garden
today talking about those little
critters you sometimes get in your
garden and how to get rid of them with
Nick better off from things green time
there's more air for you well because
you promised it doesn't bite okay see
what you could do that
alright okay oh yeah that's enough you
know what it's it's really interesting
there's a there's a chain of action that
goes along with the in the world of
reptiles and mice and those kind of
things well
you mean survival of the fittest
survival for them you know just really
speaking of which when I was first
married we opened up in our house we
opened up a drawer it was a snake inside
yeah talk about smugglin I never know
when a snake is going to be poisonous or
not so we have to be as careful as
possible you know and so having snakes
come in to new yard it's kind of a
problem of course another problem that
we have is that is that people will take
things like like they want to try to get
rid of these little guys right in
justifiably so because they'll take and
they will actually Harbor fleas and you
know of course leave the feces behind to
probably do all kinds yeah and you know
and a lot of people don't want to start
using traps because you start setting
traps oh yeah it was a finger in
something like that dangerous so what
they end up doing is that they go to
rodenticides
and rodenticides are usually
anticoagulants and these anticoagulants
basically means is that when the mouse
or rat or vermin starts eating on these
things they begin to bleed inside they
bleed internally it's kind of a painful
thing for them and then as they're going
out to die right our snake friend over
here picks it up and eats it right and
then the poison from that ends up going
into snake and then from there you have
Bobcats you have a hardest food chain
and yeah and then I end up all croaking
out on you and that is a huge problem
that's why on July 1st we no longer are
able to buy any kind of rude etta sights
it's not going to happen
yeah so boom no more genocide yet this
just not going to happen for us but
we're very fortunate that we have
eco-friendly alternatives to poisons
which is really kind of neat and how I
found out about this was that I was over
at the National Hardware show it's a
national show and I come walking up and
there's this there's a big shiny truck
there and as a guy you know he all right
big shame cool right and and so I was
admiring the truck then a few weeks ago
I was speaking for the Malibu Garden
Club right that same truck is in the
foot here come to find out it's a
company called nature side nature side
yeah nature side in what they do is rode
into control so they what they'll do is
they'll come out and they'll spray and
they put up these barriers and things
like that and the things that they'll
spray are stuff like is this actually
which is an outdoor product and it's a
essential oils and it has cedar in here
all kinds of other little goodies and
it's EPA approved so the EPA takes that
other stuff off the market this comes
back on the market and basically what
you're doing is that you're taking it
and your spring get all around where
there's a problem with the critters
coming in from that area now this is
what happens as you know the snake
always smells in with this tongue like
this going in and out right well what
happens is that they don't like that
smell
Gophers don't like that smell possums
don't like this ma'am rats and mice
don't like that smell right so they kind
of stay up then what ended up happening
was that they found that that the places
that they were servicing because they're
located in Malibu and Calabasas and all
that and also in California really they
found out that hey wait a minute we've
got we've got insects the insects
population has come down also yeah so if
we have ourselves an insect thing what
they'll do is they'll pull out either
the outdoor spray or the all-purpose now
if you've got some pretty gnarly insects
then like our insects back here
basically basically what as our narcs
are Lansing's basically what we're doing
is the same exact thing whether it's
this is going to give
you'll see you want to you want you want
to spray the areas where the insects are
yes yeah and if she set out like that
and and of course you're going to get a
kill on the insects and when they're at
and they're also not going to want to
cross that line as well so this stuff
right here you could ask your local
nursery and garden center for the nature
sight step or go online to nature
- side comm and of course what I'll do
is is that I've got links on my website
to show you about the laws that have
changed what you can and can't buy and
and all of the information that's
available on that so it's really
exciting stuff so come to things Green
Comm or you can see is that give me a
call 24 hours and when you talk about it
at one eight hundred four oh five Nick
so that's what the real news isn't yeah
thank you very much
