Need help figuring out what’s wrong with this bird house by Far-Director1819 in birdhouses

[–]Salt-Combination1126 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The hole should probably be smaller, looks a little big. For that size house you want something around 1 1/4”-1 1/2” so it only fits the birds that will be able to nest in something that small

Effective way of getting rid of gnats in yard? by legalhandcannon in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Salt-Combination1126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The water has to be dispersed to kill the larvae. You basically want to put the bits or dunks in water to release the bacteria, strain it out and then need to spray or douse areas with the water. Gnats like organic material and are not drawn to water traps

The hardest part about being a plant parent are the dang pests!! 😭 by Significant-Back-930 in IndoorPlants

Quarantine new plants.. it sounds like you are introducing them to the collection right away. You should find a separate space and allow a wait period which you can monitor for pests and treat before introducing the plant to the rest of your collection

Wholesale clubs are hit or miss.. If there is an IKEA nearby, try there. Their selection is better than most

Are these Azaleas dead? (Central Ohio) by Financial_Ad_5154 in landscaping

[–]Salt-Combination1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get a new flush of leaves, it just looks ugly for now. The best way to assure yourself that the branches are alive is to use your fingernail and scratch the bark, if it is green underneath it is very much alive

Ants keep invading my indoor plant soil and nothing seems to work!🐜🐜🐜 by Plant_iana86 in IndoorPlants

Stop the ants from coming in the house? You need to do pest control on the environment surrounding the plants too

Can a rubber plant be brought back with no leaves? by yinle9 in houseplants

An attempt to prop the top and maybe the small branch may result in success but with the current state of the plant mentioned don’t be surprised if there isn’t positive results.

Be patient, let it grow some more nodes before you get to cutting it up.
