August 2, 2002they keep the coyotes in cages---------------------
Hornets are building a nest under the eave of our Crow's Nest Cottage. They don't like it when I slam the back door of the cottage. In fact, they get upset and very agitated. So now, when I go out the door, I close it very gently. We're getting along just fine now. This is proof positive that we don't have to follow our initial impulse to eradicate, poison, or destroy "pests." You can learn to live with most of them. In fact, you can take advantage of their strengths. If you're looking for an effective deterrent to burglars or unwanted guests, I wholeheartedly recommend an active hornet's nest near the entrance to your house. There is another secret to not getting stung when you enter the cottage, but if I told you what it was, would-be burglars would use it. -------------------- Being a consumer, though, he loves the challenge of deer. He's tried everything at www.deerbuster.com. "I spent $100 on soap, but it doesn't last after a rain," he said. "I was going to try coyote urine, but that's a horrible thing. They keep the coyotes in cages."
