Nature's Remedy is hiring! Yes, that's right. We're putting barn owls to work for you. Are you sick of voles, pocket gophers and other rodents eating away at your vines, crops and just being a pain in your wallet? Well, the answer to this dilemma could be as simple as purchasing a handmade barn owl nesting box and putting this "silent assassin" to work for you. A single barn owl family can consume up to 3,000 rodents in one year. The benefit of having barn owls nest in your vineyards, orchards and dairy farms is simple. The more the rodent population increases, the greater the number of owls that will be present. The key to integrated pest management is to establish enough barn owls so that the rodent’s reproductive rate cannot keep up with the numbers being consumed. It was truly amazing to see what a big dent the owls can make in the gopher population. Despite their natural beauty, we often refer to our resident owls as 'gopher-killing machines,' 'flying death' or 'silent killers.' They really are one of man's best friends. –Gwen Othman, Kynsi Winery in San Luis Obispo, California Besides the environmental advantages, the use of barn owls also has economic gains. Natural forms of pest control conserve valuable farming resources by lowering the cost of pest management and in some cases, conserve soil resources by minimizing and sometimes eliminating the impact of man-made pesticides. Nature's Remedy promotes the conservation of a diverse and healthy ecosystem. |
