Truth About Dealing With Pests - Snakes, Roosters, Insects - A Special Offer

At The Return Homestead, we have been spreading ourselves across many small projects rather than focusing for a day on any one project. That has made videos a little difficult, but I noticed that there seems to be a theme. We have been taking care of pest problems.Show more

Snakes pose an ever-present threat on any homestead. We have been here almost two years and encountered our first Copper Head. Safely dealing with poisonous snakes is a skill you develop by needing it.

Roosters are a necessary part of any sustainable flock of chickens, and we are trying to grow our flock. Hatching your birds means you eventually have too many roosters, which we have mentioned in several videos, but we had not done anything about the problem until this week. We had 12 roosters and only 39 hens. So this Tuesday, we finally removed seven roosters from the flock. This is not cruelty to the roosters but a necessary part of having a healthy flock.

Insects love fresh picked produce. During harvest season controlling fruit flies, nats, and other flying insects is almost as time-consuming as preserving the harvest. We were offered a chance to try some new devices to assist in this effort and the folks at X-PEST have a special offer for us to pass around. We tried using two different Careland insect eliminators:
