Milaha shrew: how to fight it

Finding numerous mink in the garden, do not blame the moles, it is likely that the shrew worked it. A tiny, mouse- like creature with a long nose is actually a predator. It feeds mainly on worms, insect larvae. However, in addition to the benefits of eating pests, it in passing undermines the roots of your favorite plants, which then, of course, perish. Yes, and very friendly earthworms, she also likes to eat, but this certainly can not be attributed to the category of good deeds.

Therefore it is quite reasonable to consider the issue of gardeners: "How to remove shrews?" The methods here are similar to the standard ways of getting rid of moles. The most, perhaps, widespread, though not too human, is the spreading of pesticides. The option is far from safe, your pets can suffer from it, for example, cats. They sometimes hunt for fun on these small creatures, but they never eat them, since the body of the latter produces a substance that can poison a representative of the cat family.

Therefore it is easier to put electronic "scarecrow". A small device emits waves from which any shrew tries to keep away. How to deal with it no less effectively? Acquire an electromechanical device that generates a sound of a particular frequency. He successfully frightens off animals, but does not destroy them. Yes, and for people is harmless.

Shrew (how to fight it with grandfather's methods, we will now find out), in principle, is very sensitive to loud sounds and vibration. You can use this weakness to your advantage. Arrange a noise representation on the site. Turntables, tinkers - these simple devices are created literally from garbage dangling underfoot. Suitable any tin cans: cans from soda, canned food. Some find the original use of bottles of champagne. They are digging into the ground, leaving a neck on the surface. It should be about 2 or 3 centimeters above the surface. The howling wind in an empty glass will not please the small pest.

You can still figure out how to catch a shrew to take it further away into the forest. For this purpose, traps resembling ordinary mousetraps are suitable. Only you will need not one or two, you are unlikely to be able to calculate all the numerous walkways and exits of branched underground corridors, laid by a tiny creature.

There are methods of struggle, which are absolutely not frightened shrew. How to deal with it, for example, by planting beans and milkweed? The effect of this method is doubtful. Or a futile flooding of minks with water. All this is a waste of time and energy. As well as podkidyvanie under the nose of the animal foul-smelling food. However, foul herring, more likely, you will cause disgust. But the most, perhaps, senseless option consists in shooting from a gun on creatures that are even smaller than a mole.

Shrew (how to deal with it, we generally found out), will require some effort from you before you agree to leave your magnificent hunting grounds. But do not rush, as long as you expel it, it will have time to eat many pests of your garden. Therefore, be indulgent and kind, do not poison the crumbs, better get a couple of quality electronic repellers.
