Irvine, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2015

Bird B Gone, the leader in bird control products for commercial, industrial and residential applications now offers an effective and humane combo of sparrow control products that deliver a on-two punch to this bird problem. Rarely have two new products been so effectively dovetailed to solve a nagging bird problem.

Sparrow Charmer Bird Caller Lures them

This device lures sparrows into a bird trap by broadcasting Bird B Gones proprietary sparrow call. Field tested and scientifically proven to attract sparrows, Sparrow Charmer is deal for use in Big Box and retail stores, warehouses, or any large indoor or outdoor space where pest sparrows are present. The device features separate remote control functions up to 150 meters away. A volume control varies the output up to 170 db. The call emitted will attract sparrows as far away as two acres. A built-in speaker with push-button controls makes operation fast and easy. An additional speaker is available to extend the callers coverage. The caller plays its luring calls for up to 18 continuous hours. A rechargeable lithium battery provides both convenience and economy. The Sparrow Charmer comes complete with mounting clip, remote control USB cord, USB power adapter and power cord.

Sparrow Sky Trap Humanely Captures Them

Working in tandem with the Sparrow Charmer, this highly effective sky trap has been specially designed to capture sparrows in high traffic areas. The hanging trap features a proven V-top entry design that allows it to hang from the ceiling or sit on a flat surface. The pop-up feature makes this trap 24 x 12 x18 high. A wider/longer pan (30 x 16) captures droppings or other debris that may fall from the inside the trap. The trap and slide-out pan (made of heavy 26 gauge sheet metal) can be easily cleaned. It includes perches and water/feed containers inside to calm birds after capture.

Sparrows: a Nagging Nuisance to Property Owners

Prolific throughout the lower 48 states, house sparrows have a 6-inch wingspan and are typically 5-6 inches long. They will often hop on tables, benches and chairs of open-air restaurants to scrounge for leftovers and dropped crumbs. The birds will look for convenient nesting sites and open trash containers. House sparrows are not tidy or clean. Their droppings are both unsightly and unsanitary, carrying such diseases as chlamydiosis, salmonellosis, Newcastle disease, toxoplasmosis and transmissible gastroenteritis. Bird droppings around restaurants can lead to health code violations. Nesting sparrows can also be disturbingly noisy. Most house sparrows strongly prefer to nest in the vents, attic vent louvers, crevices, and under eaves of buildings. Some restaurant owners have tried stuffing their dryer, attic and fan vents with screens, but when these become blocked with leaves and other debris, they can eventually create serious venting problems. Bird B Gones Sparrow Charmer & Sparrow Sky Trap Combo effectively and humanely gets rid of the sparrow problem.

Bird B Gone is the worlds largest manufacturer and distributor of bird control products, providing effective and humane solutions to a bird-free environment. The company provides advice, training and installation services for those who need help with these and other bird control measures.

New Zealands commercial fruit and vegetable growers are asking everyone going to the World Cup Cricket match at Eden Park tomorrow to help smash an unwanted Aussie visitor for a six.

The industry that takes every opportunity to promote healthy eating is taking the unusual step of asking fans not to take fresh fruit or vegetables with them into the stadium.

This request comes in the wake of last weeks discovery of a small localised population of Queensland fruit flies in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn.

Eden Park, the venue for Saturdays World Cup Cricket clash between Australia and New Zealand, is right on the border of the controlled area.

This means no fruit and vegetable material can be taken out of the stadium.

"We are asking cricket fans to leave their fruit and vegetables at home when they head to the stadium," Horticulture New Zealand chief executive Peter Silcock says.

"You know it must be a serious situation if we are asking people NOT to have fruit and vegetables."

Three industry groups have joined together to pay for a full page advertisement in todays New Zealand Herald to ask cricket fans not to take fruit to the ground.

"We feel it is the most pragmatic approach. It makes sense to ask people not to take food into the ground which would ultimately need to be thrown away as they were leaving," Pipfruit New Zealand chief executive Alan Pollard says.

The horticulture industry is united in its support of the Ministry for Primary Industries response to the fruit fly.

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) When it comes to Henderson County's $38.5 million fruit and vegetable economy, local extension agents say you can largely thank a winged insect from Europe.

Western honeybees, introduced to America by settlers in 1622, are responsible for pollinating about $15 billion worth of crops nationwide, said Cooperative Extension Director Marvin Owings Jr.

"They're extremely important to our apple growers, particularly our fresh fruit growers anyone growing small fruits such as blackberries and vegetable farmers," he said. "One out of every three mouthfuls of food you eat every day is thanks to a honeybee."

But honeybee populations have been in severe decline for more than a decade, apiarists say, thanks to a combination of pesticide use, loss of foraging habitat, climate change, parasites, viruses and predatory insects.

"Billions of dollars have been spent on pest control without the consideration of consequences on the honeybees and other useful pollinators," said David Stallings, vice president of the Henderson County Beekeepers Association.

Part of the problem, Stallings says, is that most of the estimated 2 million honeybee colonies left in the U.S. are part of a commercial pollination industry that trucks hives all across the country, spreading crippling diseases and parasites.

So just as agricultural groups have begun promoting locally grown foods, the Henderson County Beekeepers are pushing homegrown bees. Hobbyists can help meet local pollination needs with bee colonies acclimated to this area, they say, using fewer chemical drugs than large commercial apiaries need.

The association recently kicked off its annual six-week Beekeeping School at Mountain Horticultural Crops Research station in Mills River to help foster a new generation of apiarists trained to provide the pollinators, honey and beeswax of the future.

Co-sponsored by the local Extension Service office, the school meets every Monday from 7-9 p.m. through March 2. Topics covered include the biology and life cycle of honeybees; getting started with small, nucleus hives; swarm control methods; nectar plants; hive products; and dealing with brood diseases, parasites and nest scavengers.

Once the school is over, association leaders say their group continues to provide support and guidance to newbie beekeepers, a necessity in today's complex apiary environment. Weather permitting, the group holds workshops at Historic Johnson Farm on Saturday mornings.

Even where I live in Canada, glimpses of bare brown earth are starting to dapple white snow. It's not yet time for me to plant my garden, but that moment is not far off.

I'm not alone in my interest to grow some of my own food. Gardening ranks as one of the most popular outdoor leisure activities in North America. Additionally, the National Gardening Association reports that a well-maintained garden can help save you several hundred dollars a year in food costs.

Gardening is expanding beyond backyard plots, as community gardens and even urban apartment gardens increase in popularity.

A key beneficiary of this increasing interest in gardening is Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE: SMG ) . The Ohio-based company was started in 1868 and is the world's largest marketer of branded lawn and garden products.

Its global consumer segment, which accounts for roughly 90% of revenue, sells such products as fertilizers, grass seed, spreaders, and plant pest and disease control products. Some of its better-known brands are Scotts, Miracle-Gro, Ortho and Roundup.

It also generates revenue through its lawn care service division, which is the No. 2 player the country and provides residential and commercial lawn, tree and shrub care, and pest control services.

In January, the company acquired Action Pest Control, one of the largest exterminators in the Midwest. Management said this is part of their strategy to grow in the $7 billion pest control market.

They also see growth opportunities in hydroponics, indoor gardening and natural/organic products. With the USDA estimating about 15% of the world's food supply is now grown in urban centers and interest in edible gardening growing, especially among millennials, the company has increased spending on natural product R&D by 15% since 2012.

While revenue growth has been minimal over the past few years, the company has ramped up profits significantly. Adjusted earnings per share ( EPS ) grew 39% in fiscal 2013 and another 18% in the year ended Sept. 30, 2014.

This strong earnings performance allowed Scotts to issue a special dividend of $2 a share in August and initiate a $500 million share buyback program. Its regular quarterly dividend of $0.45 presents shareholders with a 2.7% forward annual yield.
