If a
bird chooses to make a nest in your hanging basket, how do you water it? Try
ice cubes, carefully placed so as not to crush any eggs. As they melt, the basket gets watered, and no
birds are harmed.
“it just won’t stick
there” If wasps are trying to build a nest inside or
on the bottom of a birdhouse, try this: rub a thin layer of petroleum jelly (or
rub a dry bar of soap) where they want to attach a hive. The frustrated wasps
eventually leave.
