Meanwhile, the pesticides may eliminate predatory and parasitic insects that themselves control the pest populations. there are many things you can do to greatly minimize the threat. Some of these things involve changing the surrounding area to be less habitable for the little buggers and some involve temporary measures to keep them away for a short period of time.

Furthermore, birds and other wildlife escape from an environment swimming in pesticides, resulting in less restraint on the pests in the future generations. Conversely, while there are a number of active steps to attract birds to the garden, such as providing food, and water for drinking and bathing, the most important method is to desist from applying pesticides, other than in the most extreme circumstances. It is best therefore not to see insects as enemies, but rather as a vital source of food for birds.

however, an enemy may be lurking. Perhaps nothing ruins the aesthetic quality of this scenery like pigeon droppings which show up on window ledges, roofs, sides of buildings, walkways, and anywhere else birds have access. As unattractive as these noxious deposits can be, they pose a much greater threat – that is, to the health and safety of the population that is exposed to it. Pigeon droppings are a serious problem as demonstrated in such places as Lake Havasu City, Arizona where Earl Siler heads the Pigeon Abatement Committee. Efforts have been made to hinder pigeon reproduction. Birth control is one method of preventing these animals from continuing to overwhelm the population. The birth control is slipped into feed so the pigeons ingest it when they eat.

Perhaps the best method to solve pigeon control problems is to prevent their roosting and landing in the first place. You can protect your building, structure, monument or sign by installing Bird Control stainless steel landing spikes. Pigeon spikes apply quickly and easily, are harmless to birds, environmentally friendly, long lasting and virtually invisible. Combine with pigeon barrier nets, and you prevent pigeon problems and the high cost of clean up, all while reducing health and corrosion risks.

Pest control diversified in other ways including preventing the spread of diseases like rats which carried the plague by transporting fleas with deadly diseases. Pest control took the form of educating the public on simple things like storing refuse, as well as rat poisons to control the increasing rat population. It’s estimated that 42% of the worlds foods supply is wasted due to pests destroying agricultural crops. Add to this the damage caused from weather and other external factors, food dispersion can be greatly improved. Pest control looks set to be a problem for society into the foreseeable future.

Today nearly 50 luxury yachts and recreational vehicles treat whatever source water is available and also control bacteria and mold in their holding tanks using a technology first developed for the Apollo Space Program’s 3 week mission to the moon.

A customized well water system allows RV travelers to cross America and refill their water storage tanks with low quality raw water and filter it into safe clean quality water. The system maintains a residual bacteria control from the ionization put into the water. Identical benefits exist with systems installed in over forty SkipperLiner freshwater luxury yachts that pull shower and drinking water from the Mississippi river, Lake Havasu and Lake Shasta. Whether RV or Yacht, the natural oxygen and ionization keeps the water crisp and fresh for weeks.

“Wherever the water source is, the ECOsmarte system not only purifies the source water but prevents bacteria and mold growth in the holding tanks.”

In addition to Mississippi river water, regular source water is pulled from both Lake Havasu and Lake Shasta as part of the SkipperLiner yachts factory installed water treatment system. Wisconsin based SkipperLiner has been installing ECOsmarte well water systems as an option since 1999 and their AZ and NV sales offices have retrofitted numerous customers as well. Houseboats do well with ECOsmarte and a growing lifestyle choice.

The ECOsmarte tanks for diesel pushers are easily configured based on digital photographs and can be as short as 30″ in height and 24″ wide. Generally the base plumbing and holding tank configurations remain the same and fill up still occurs with a garden hose style fitting. A network of nearly 1,000 mechanics in all 50 states can be retained to change out filter tanks, usually every 2 to 3 years.

Oxygenation allows the heavy metals to be filtered whether “filling up” at a mountain campground or with chemical-laden city water and the ionization controls the growth of mold and bacteria in the holding tanks as you drive through the desert.

ECOsmarte remains the world leader of zero salt & zero chlorine water technology, and combines conventional whole systems in addition to RV and yacht systems.

Residual bacteria and mold control achieved with NASA technology. Cost effective with a low operating cost, service from all North American water treatment dealers.
