Let me give you the phone number. It's 14 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three eight two five five and 15 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: Danny Boyle will take your call and we'll chat a 16 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: little bit about maybe your home project. And happy to 17 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: do that as we, like I said, do every weekend. 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: One of the things I think many of us that 19 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: are listening will start seeing, maybe you've already seen them 20 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: in your area, is carpenter bees. And if you're not 21 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: familiar with a carpenter bee, I bet you've seen them. 22 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: I bet you probably even have them around your house. 23 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: But if you look at your thumb and you take 24 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: the knuckle up beyond the thumbnail, that's about the size 25 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: of a carpenter bee. So that's a big bee. And 26 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: you will usually find those guys flying around wood structures. Now, 27 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: that could be a deck, that could be a wooden 28 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: mailbox post, that could be the facia on your house, 29 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: and that could be an old wood shed that you 30 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: have in the backyard. And they love wood that's not painted, 31 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: maybe not even maintained or well stained. And if you 32 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: have that structure, and most of us do have something 33 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: along those lines, these carpenter bees drill holes that are 34 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: half inch they're perfectly beautifully drilled holes, and as they 35 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: go through the surface of the wood, they love mailbox 36 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: post and post. For decks, they just love those because 37 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, they're fournch square. So they drill in and 38 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: then they take a hard ride or a hard left, 39 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: and the queen's back there and the larvae are back there, 40 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: and these big guys fly around that hole. They're the guards, 41 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: they're the centuries. They bring the queen some food for 42 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: the larvae and everything, and they guard that hole. So 43 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: you're not going to get the problem resolved until you 44 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: get rid of the centuries. And there's all kinds of ways. 45 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: There's all kinds of ways. I've had people say, oh, 46 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: use a tennis racket and just swat them. 47 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: You can do that. 48 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: You can use sprays, you can do all kinds of things. 49 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: But once you eliminate those guys to get to the queen, 50 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: or even if someday where there's not a lot of centuries, 51 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: taking a look at that area, look at that hole. 52 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: You can get some insecticidal powder and blow it into 53 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: that hole and then there's there's traffic going in and 54 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: out of that hole. They get it on their feet, 55 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: they eventually start dying off. They eventually bring it to 56 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: the queen, and you've eliminated that problem. You've also last 57 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: week had we had a guest and we were talking. 58 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: She was from rescue and they make a carpenter by trap, 59 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: which is amazing. It's yellow and green. It's very dramatic. 60 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: It's got a little pixels of yellow and green, and 61 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: they're attracted to that trap. So you eliminate the centuries, 62 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: then you can the queen will come out, or the 63 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: insecticidal powder can be blown in there we take care 64 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: of the queen because I mean, they've hollowed out that wood. 65 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: It looks terrible. And you got to get rid of 66 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: the centuries, like I said. But then when it's time 67 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: to make the repair, because with the trap, and i'll 68 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: give you another idea on a trap here in a minute. 69 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: With the trap and everything, you got to sterilize that hole. 70 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: So rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, push them back in there, 71 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: and then calking or a wood patch, something along those lines. 72 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: But you gotta. 73 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: Sterilize that hole first or they'll still hang out. And anyway, 74 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: that process will eliminate the carpenter b all right, and 75 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: then stain over it. You could fill the hole also 76 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: with a dowrod. Just tap the dowrod in find one 77 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: half inch. It'll fit right in. But another way to 78 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: make a trap, and I found, you know, the rescue 79 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: trap is awesome. My views that multiple times. Another little 80 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: homemade way which is probably about seventy five percent effective, 81 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: at least that's my calculation. 82 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: It's good. 83 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: A three pound brown paper bag like a lunch bag 84 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: and just crink it up, make a ball out of it, 85 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: hang it with some fishing wire near that hole, and 86 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: that's their natural predator. They think it's a wasp nest 87 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: and that is their predator. So they kind of say 88 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: the heck with the queen, let's get out of dodge, 89 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: and then you can take it from there with the 90 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: insecticidal powder again, then sterilize when there's no activity with 91 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: some rubbing alcohol, sprain it in or cotton balls, push 92 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: them back in there, and then go ahead and make 93 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: the patch so that that season is if it has 94 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: not started in your area, it's a coming to a 95 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: neighborhood near you. 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: All right, let me give you the phone number. 97 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred eight two three eight two five five Linda, Welcome, Hi. 98 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: Hello, wondering if you can give me advice on how 99 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: to get rid of woodpeckers. 100 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: They're after those larvae they are. So there's two reasons 101 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: where they drill it on your house. 102 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for years. And so what I've done is 103 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: I've been using some home to events where they've done 104 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 3: tremendous amount of damage. Sure, they've been around about the 105 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: last three or four years. And then I recently tried 106 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: some spray that's supposed to I guess there mus was 107 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: like the smell of it or something, and they are 108 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: still just going to town. 109 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so have you you know, I just talked about 110 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the carpenter bees. Have you seen any of those up 111 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: in the area where they're drilling or not. 112 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: I don't see any insects at all. 113 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: Okay, but there must be. 114 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: Something and there's one area only that they are attacking. 115 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably insects. But also, Linda, a lot of 116 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: times woodpeckers do that drumming sound, not looking for insects, 117 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: but to attract the meat. So maybe that's why you're 118 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: not seeing the insects. I'll tell you about the The 119 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: thing that works best, to be honest, is to change 120 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: the environment. Now that's kind of a weird, uh solution 121 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you. But you know, wildlife uh there there. 122 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: You know there's predators out there for everything, right, we've 123 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: heard that since we've been in grade school. And if 124 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: we can change so they're always on edge, they're they're jumpy. 125 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: So if we can change that environment where there's something 126 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: that startles them, they'll usually leave over the course of time. 127 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: So one of the things that I've seen is there's 128 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: a product called Era tape. 129 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: It's i R A tape and it's. 130 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: Got little holograms in it, and it's like a my 131 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: lar balloon, knowing it's like strips with these little things 132 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: that flash light. Okay, the sun hits the hologram, the 133 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: little my lar's blowing in the wind, so there's movement, 134 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: there's splashes of light. It kind of looks like you're 135 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: decorating your house for Christmas around that area. But it 136 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: does change the environment, and they don't like it. And 137 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you leave them up there for a while, 138 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: there's a good chance they'll vacate. You can also make 139 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: your own if you want. Your neighbors will think you're crazy, 140 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: but you can use you know, empty or old CDs. 141 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: Drill a little hole at the top, tie some fishing 142 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: line on it and hang it from the gutters or 143 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: around that area, or a thumbtack or however. And again 144 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: the c D the way it is, you know how 145 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: it has those lines, It creates a hologram, sun hits 146 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: it again, fleshes of light, doesn't blown the wind unless 147 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: you hang it from the fishing line. But those are 148 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: two ways to change that. That's the first thing I 149 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: would do, Linda, I would I would start with that. 150 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: And it's fairly successful. 151 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: Okay, and for the damage that they've done, which again 152 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: is presist angele. I have the it's an older house. 153 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: It didn't have soft events, so they have that those 154 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: vents on each side of the. 155 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 4: House let me flow through. 156 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: Okay, so I now have SAFTA events. One guy who 157 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: came in, I'm afraid they're going to get into the house, 158 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: to be honest with you, they've just. 159 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 5: Done that much damage. 160 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: He said that that one side could just be used 161 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: regular boards and it wouldn't match the other side. But 162 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: who's really going to know? Would you recommend that? Is 163 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: there anything that would be a problem if I did 164 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 3: that just close up that whole side, well. 165 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: You would hurt your ventilation. 166 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: In your attic. 167 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 3: That was my thought too, And even though I have 168 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: the SAFA events, probably is. 169 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 5: Still not a great idea. 170 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Oh okay, I thought you said you did. 171 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: Not have soft events. 172 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: I did not originally when the house was built, but 173 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 3: now I do. 174 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: Well in that case, so soft those events, those gable 175 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: events on the side of your house could already be 176 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: hurting your ventilation. Okay. So I don't know if how 177 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: the roofer or whoever put those in factored that in 178 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: but the way a soft event works for ventilation is 179 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: it's the lowest area of the roof that's bringing in 180 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: the cooler air and pushing the hot air out of 181 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: the attic. All right, when you get those gable vents 182 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: on the side, they're just pulling air from there. So 183 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: those gable vents and soft events are probably have they're 184 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: they're in competition. So the ridge vent is you may 185 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: not be moving all that hot air out of the 186 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: attic anyway with those gable vents. It may just be 187 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: coming in and going straight out and blocking the flow 188 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: of air coming up to the soffits. So I would 189 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: go ahead and close that often, I really would to 190 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: solve that problem. All right, Linda, thank you much. We'll 191 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we'll talk a little 192 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: gardening and landscaping.

Right, I did. 383 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 10: I liked the idea of the disc the CDs, but 384 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 10: I took part of an old disk drive, which most 385 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 10: people have old computers, and they're all they're all stainless 386 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 10: steel and they're highly reflective. So I just take it 387 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 10: with a little fishing wire. You hang it from the 388 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 10: bottom of the actual windchime paddle that's already there, d 389 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 10: a whole, and that thing every time the sun. 390 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 4: Hits it, it flips around, and I am in the 391 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 4: front of the house. In the back of the house. 392 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: The squirrels hate them. Yeah, woodpeckers don't like them, because 393 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 4: it's that sunlight hits it. It's splashing around all the 394 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 4: time on that website. So it's just. 395 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: You know, if whenever you have wildlife issues, whether it's 396 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: a bird or whatever, mice, whatever, you know, change the 397 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: environment a little bit. And that's exactly what I suggest, 398 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: is exactly what you're suggesting, because you know they all 399 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: have predators out there and they're all a little jumpy. 400 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: If you can make it more jump, they'll find another feeder. 401 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 11: Right. 402 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 4: The deers don't like it either. I've noticed that reduction 403 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 4: in the deer coming up in the backyard because it's 404 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 4: flashing and they're looking around and like, oh something you 405 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 4: know out there. 406 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate, Yeah, you do the same. Well, thank 407 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: you very much appreciated. All right, So there, I think, 408 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to get a lot of woodpecker calls. 409 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: And I know other people are going to say, put 410 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: up inflatable while in this and again, just change the environment. 411 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: A little bit. See what works. 412 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: But I've used that disc, the CD disc multiple times, 413 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: always been successful with the flesh is a light hard drive. Fine, 414 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: use that, it doesn't it doesn't matter. Anything that creates 415 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: movement and fleshes of light. You're probably going to be 416 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: pretty successful. I'll tell you what we had this is crazy. 417 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: I was talking about inflatable owls, and I got people 418 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: that I know that have different issues and have used 419 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: that with with birds that are very successful. Ours. As 420 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: you go to the front door, there's a large window 421 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: above the door. I mean it's a large window. It's 422 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: probably five by five, so that's a pretty big window. 423 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: And let's all the light in very nice and there's 424 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: a little ledge above the door. And about three or 425 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: four years ago we started having a robin that decided 426 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: that's where he wanted to build his house. And that's 427 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: not a good place for a bird to be building 428 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: a house from the human standpoint, because it's your entry 429 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: door and I guess their portal. 430 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 2: That didn't work. 431 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: So the side of the house in the front door 432 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: became that if you get my drift, so and so 433 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: I was telling Sue, I said, you know, we got 434 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: to get an hour a rubber snake or something. We 435 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to change that environment. 436 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, once they start building this, I don't 437 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: know exactly what the laws are, but I believe that 438 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: there's chicks in there. You got you're supposed to leave 439 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: the nest alone, and maybe even if they're at eggs. 440 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: I didn't know we were right at the entry. We 441 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: had experienced it like two or two years in a row, 442 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: not three. And when it started the third year, they 443 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: kind of always come back and build that in the 444 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: same spot. And they started building it again, and it's like, 445 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: all right, this year, we're not putting up with this thing. 446 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: We're just keep sweeping it away. And we get up 447 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: there with the broom, sweep it away, sweep it away. 448 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: Come back the next day, put more stuff up there, 449 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: start building his own. They sweep it away. And I said, hey, 450 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: next time you're out and about going to Walmart or 451 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: somewhere and seeving a little rubber kids rubber snake maybe 452 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: what are they? Eight inches long, little curly things? 453 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 2: She did? 454 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: I put it up on that ledge, bang stopped, instantly stopped, 455 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: and he came back. Maybe another year or two. I 456 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: swept be beginnings of the nest away, put the snake 457 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: boom gone. I haven't seen him yet this year. He 458 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: may be back. But changing the environment, that's the key, 459 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: all right, home improvement it is, believe it or not. 460 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and eight two three eight two five 461 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: five Susan welcome, How are you doing, Gary, I'm doing fine. 462 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: How are you. 463 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 5: Been better? Okay, so listen. So we have mice and 464 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 5: I put a vitamin like on the counter, so I 465 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 5: take it in the morning. It's been stealing the vitamin. 466 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 2: So it's going to be a big mouse. 467 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 11: I know. 468 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: So he's stealing your vitamin. But have you seen him 469 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: do anything else? Have you seen the mouse or anything? 470 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 5: No, but I've seen trappings. Yeah, what's the best thing 471 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 5: to use in the house for mice? 472 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Well, most of your pest control people will use glue traps. 473 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: Some people despise the glue traps. Okay, so I mentioned 474 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: that because that's you know, that's what a pest control 475 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: company will usually use. You can certainly go back to 476 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: the standard regular mouse trap, the quick snap. If that 477 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: kind of grosses you out, there's some victor makes a 478 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: new one where it's all concealed. You bait it. It's 479 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: easy to set. The mouse goes in and goes off. 480 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: You can't even see the mouse, and you just pitch 481 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: the whole trap if you want. 482 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: They're all effective. 483 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: It's mainly the issue is it's patience and it's placement. 484 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: So mice navigate through their whiskers, so they always run 485 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: around base boards or if it gets in a pantry 486 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: food products. That's how it sees, that's how it moves. 487 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: So putting it right, you know, maybe a quarter inch 488 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: off of base board is a good place to do 489 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: because they'll they'll they'll they'll feel something in front of 490 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: him and they'll stop and they'll smell the you know, 491 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: the bait and go go from there. So placement's key. 492 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: And you know he's up on that counter. So I 493 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: don't know if you can and you know where the 494 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: droppings are, so maybe you can start figuring out how 495 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: he's traversing and set the trap accordingly and give it 496 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: a few days for sure. 497 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 5: Okay, Well, thank you very much, Gary, have a nice Easter, 498 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: all right, You. 499 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: Do the same, Thank you, Susan, Take care, bye bye. 500 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 501 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: We were gone for a couple of weeks and we 502 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: came home and we had mice. How in you know, 503 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody was in and out that I hove 504 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: in the house. The house is pretty sealed up, however, 505 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: and I didn't mention this, Susan as a good start. 506 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: You know, they could be nesting in the house, they 507 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: could be going in the house and then going outside 508 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: the house for their food and doing both. Their breeding 509 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: season is mainly in January and February, so there's a 510 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of them. There could be possibly more than one 511 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: mouse in your house. And we since we've been back, 512 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: we have caught three and the last one was Sunday, 513 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: and I think we got them. No more droppings, no 514 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: more sightings, no more active traps. I keep my fingers crossed. 515 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: If you're looking to change the environment, which we talked about, 516 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: there's a product called mouse Magic. It's a little barlap bag, 517 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: little tiny burlap bag. It's got a filler in it. 518 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: It's got essential oils of spearmen in there, which they hate, 519 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: and you change that bag out every month and put 520 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: a bag in it like in a pantry, an enclosed 521 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: area where the food is. They'll be disappointed. I did 522 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: not do that this time, but they will be disappointed. 523 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: That was next on my list. They won't want to 524 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: go into the pantry yet. They'll want to go into 525 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: the pantry because that's where the food is, but the 526 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: smell will override it and out they go. But I 527 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: found there, or I did not. Sue found up what 528 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: she thought was the opening because behind the dryer we 529 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: found some droppings and where that vent pipe went through 530 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: that wall, there was a pretty big gap, and so 531 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: stuffed it with some steel wool and some drywall tape, 532 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: painted it up, went outside, calked the vent hood and well, 533 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: I think we took care of it.

I don't think it leaks 586 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 12: a whole lot when you're just a gradual I am. 587 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 12: I don't always go up there and check it, but uh, 588 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 12: I just thought I would see what you would recommend. 589 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 12: I'd like to maybe get a clear ceilant or something. 590 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 12: I've got a metal roof, so what what do you 591 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 12: think would be maybe a good product to try. 592 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: To Well, I got a lot of products that fix 593 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things. And you know, when you're dealing 594 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: with the chimney, there's multiple things that could be allowing 595 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: water in. Okay, So if you don't mind, just kind 596 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: of go through the anatomy of what could be going on. 597 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: Is it ah, I know it's a metal roof. Is 598 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: it a brick chimney? 599 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 5: Yes, okay. 600 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: So at the very top of the chimney, there's what 601 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: they call crown wash, which is a concrete pad, and 602 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: the flu or the liner goes up of the flu 603 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: goes up through that concrete pad, all right, and over time, 604 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: if the flu is a clay flu or even a 605 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: metal flu, there gets to be a gap or a 606 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: space between the crown wash and the flu. It could 607 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: be as some simple as somebody calking around. That more 608 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: than likely if it's water that's showing up, it's requires 609 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: all I'm not going to say a lot of water, 610 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: but it requires more than a drip, and that that 611 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: concrete pad up there, James gets cracked just like a sidewalk, 612 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: and it depends on how wide it is. So the 613 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: solution to repairing that is a there's a product out 614 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: on the market which is a real thick, almost like 615 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: a maple syrup, and it's called crown wash, uh sealant. 616 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: It can be brushed on and it's a it's a 617 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: rubber rise band aid that goes over that crown wash. 618 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: All right, so you would calk the crack and then 619 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 1: put the crownwashed celant on top of that excellent, excellent product. 620 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: But it may not be correcked. So then we go 621 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: down a little bit and we start looking at the 622 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: brick itself. We're looking for crack brick. We're listening looking 623 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: for missing mortar and uh, if we find some of that, 624 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: that's going to require some tuck pointing, which is replacing 625 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: that mortar or maybe even replacing that brick. It could 626 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: be something as I doubt this, It would be low 627 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 1: on my list, but it could be maybe like reclaim brick. 628 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 1: It's soft brick. It's a highly absorbent brick and when 629 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: it rains a lot, it's absorbed a lot of water 630 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: and begins to leak between the liner and the backside 631 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: of that brick. So that's the brick. And then the 632 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: last thing is to flashing between your metal roof and 633 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: the chimney itself. There should be a metal step flashing 634 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: up on the brick chimney itself. That could be compromised. 635 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, so you know the chimney. Yeah, the chimney is 636 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 12: an old chimney, and I do know it has some 637 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 12: cracking type issues, so it could be that. So I'll 638 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 12: have to I'll go back to that. 639 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 5: Look. 640 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, So one other thing too, Do you use the 641 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: chimney on a regular basis or no? 642 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 12: Yes, I have a with stove that goes all the 643 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 12: chimney two story chimney, and I've got a with stove 644 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 12: that I've been using. 645 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 2: Time, okay. 646 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: And do you have that clean regularly or not so much. 647 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 5: Or not so much? 648 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 12: I did have it clean a couple of years ago, 649 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 12: I think, but it hadn't been cleaned for quite a 650 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 12: while before that. But I don't usually do it every year, right, 651 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 12: I'd probably do that. 652 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 10: Well. 653 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: One of the things I might suggest to you really 654 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: is to there's a certification for chimney sweeps. It's called 655 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: a CSIA, find yourself a local CSIA certified chimney sweep 656 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: and let them come and do an inspection of your 657 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: chimney and clean it should be cleaned, you know, with 658 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: a stove, at least every other year. To be honest 659 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: with you, the National Fire Department or Fire Association says 660 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: every year that'd be good and safe. If you've burned 661 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: in a court of would I agree with it. Otherwise 662 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: maybe every two years, but let them give you a 663 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: thorough inspection of chimney. And what you're looking for is 664 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: just what I spoke about, and that's what they'll check. 665 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: They will also check the liner inside the chimney, which 666 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: is critical. You don't you want to make sure that 667 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: liner is not cracked. So I would do that and 668 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: then decide what you want to do. You know, they 669 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: can give you a quote on repair, you can do 670 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: it yourself or whatever. But in the process, you get 671 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: it cleaned, you get it inspected, you find out what 672 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,479 Speaker 1: the problem is. I think it'd be well worth the dollars. 673 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 12: Right, okay, all right, sounds good. 674 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: Very good, James, Thanks take care all right, you can 675 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: join us. 676 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 2: We have O oopen lines. 677 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred A two three, A two, five y five, 678 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: Go ahead and grab that line.

And 690 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: if you're like a lot of houses, that garage door 691 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: probably not real level, probably not really ceiling the garage 692 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: up and. 693 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 2: Walk right in. 694 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: Around the dryer vents the same thing.

So if they're getting 698 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: from the outside, you get the draft. Okay, So look 699 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: at the bottom of door, sides of doors and things 700 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: like that.
