hello everyone so today is Friday September 6th this is a frequent last
question episode 32 and it's a very short one because we did several
episodes during the week that were subject specific so today I'm doing
another short video and this is relevant to an earlier video from the week where
we showed a skunk cruisin through my backyard
bee apiary what was the skunk doing you need to look at that link it's down in
the video description amazing series showing house guts get bees to fly out
of your hives at night and then they eat the bees when they land in the grass
everyone said and shoot'em trap on kill them get rid of them don't tolerate them
well what I'm gonna show you today applies to any small animal that wants
to come into your bee yard my skunk doesn't come around anymore I was gonna
show you a video about it but he never came in camera range because we have put
out ultrasonic pest repellent systems in the yard and guess what
they're solar-powered so the batteries don't die you can see one in the
background they aren't out-of-focus we're going to show them up close I'm
going to show you how it works and put a link of course down in the video
description so if you want to get one you can get one here it is it looks like
an owl it's got a little sensor on the front and you control the range and it
flashes and makes noise and that's why small animals don't like them and this
gun because I said didn't even come in range this is the back of the unit two
screws there or where the battery goes rechargeable there's an AC adapter if
you want one and here's the solar panel on top and they have an aluminum spike
that goes in the ground anywhere you want to put it and this is the
sensitivity control so you turn this little dial on the left there to the
right and the bigger circle means it's sensitive to a larger area so you can't
even walk anywhere near this even if you're a squirrel so you want to get
squirrels away use one of these and then you put this little adjustment you have
ultrasonic choices little noise makers that are species-specific
my favorite is between three and four because I can
hear it and I can see the flashing light and that little build at the top there
when it's green it shows that it's fully charged and if it doesn't get fully
charged that's why they include USB chargers with it I put them all around
the bee yard and if you recall if you've seen that video where the Scout was he
wore away the grass underneath the hive where he was eating the bees
here's that eyes that was teacher there and there's the little ultrasonic
solar-powered test blaster nothing comes around here's the problem my chickens
been the one along to that yard anymore so these things to get if you want to
keep chickens out of your garden or off your porch you'll get a cat out of your
yard I bought five of them and they're working great so far I can't tell you
how long they're gonna work but when you put this thing on maximum sensitivity I
can't get within 70 feet when I walk out there and of course the night is more
dramatic and lots of noise and so this is the hive that just counts what's
getting most of the bees from and they're doing fantastic and there's no
more small animals visiting the bee yard maybe this will even work on bears if it
does we're going to get that video we've installed new surveillance cameras
around the bead yard because they needed to cover a wider range and I want to see
what comes and goes and right now nothing's coming so it's gone went from
visiting several times a week to not visiting at all we're not losing any
bees thanks for watching check the video description for these solar-powered
ultrasonic pest blasters the flashing light I don't know the noise definitely
the noise bothers me probably bothers you and leisure hears ringing a little
bit and it definitely has driven the skunk away so we didn't have to kill it
we just repel it thanks for watching enjoy your weekend
