Summer is the time for doing battle with insects, right?
So, what if you’re allergic or sensitive to bug sprays or other forms of commercial pest control products?
Like mice, the best way to keep insects out of the house is to stop them outside.
You do this with insect eating birds.
Well, I’ll post indoor pest control suggestions tomorrow, but there are birds that love to eat them, so attract them over where your vegetable garden is.
Hey, the bugs want your fresh vegies, so why not let the birds get a free meal out of them? Besides some will most definitely go for the bugs next to the house.

NOTE: It’ll take a while to get them nesting around your home and garden, but in the long run it’s worth it.
