Objective #5: Control the pest population.
TICKS
We allow our guinea fowl to free range in our yard and farm. These little guys squawk and strut around as they mow down all ticks in their way.
SKEETERS
We use Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis) in any standing water on our property. Harmless to everything except for mosquito larvae, Bti prevents problems before they start.
