There is something called “Birds Away Attack Spider.” I think it’s activated by the sound of the bird. Check the web site at http://www.attackspider.com. Looks scary to me, but I haven’t tried it.

We used to have a problem with woodpeckers, but we found a low-cost solution. Remember when AOL was giving away hand-fulls of disks. I tied a disk at each eave corner and have not had a pecker attack since (knock on wood)……

When we were up over the holidays I filled in several woodpecker hole on two sides of the house. I also risked life and limb to hang some molar strips pretty high up.
Upon arriving tonight I find some new holes.
I have heard that they fake owls and spiders have some effect but you have to keep moving them because the birds get used to them.
I am not particularly proud of my repair work the last time but the two questions are:
1- what’s the best technique for keeping them away?
2- I would like to have someone professionally repair the damage that’s already been done, any recommendations?

I have a large cedar tree that looks to be dying. It has very few limbs at the top, but they’re still green. Does anyone have a recommendation for an arborist who can evaluate the tree?
Thanks in advance,
Scott@rswheeler1 – At the top of this page (or any other page) click on “Forums.” Then select the Forum you would like to post in, like “Big Trees Talk,” “Cabin Maintenance,” etc. After you do that, at the bottom of the page, you can start a new topic. Look at the second attachment first, then the first attachment and then the third. They didn’t come out in the order I was trying to upload them. There’s no “Button” to start a new topic like most forums.
Thanks, Allen, but I don’t see the “new topic” page. Not even at the bottom of this thread. Sorry to be a bother.
ScottJust out of curiosity, why would anyone go with any propane company other than Ebbetts Pass Gas? We don’t have propane and hopefully never will but at some point I may not be able to cut and split wood. I see no advantage going with another company. EPG is local so if you need them they can be at you place in less than an hour, their prices are lower than most other places and their service is great. Like I said, just curious….
@rswheeler1 – Select the section of the forums you want and then at the bottom you can start a new topic with any title you want. Screen dumps attached. Good luck.

We are part timers and have used Mother Lode for the past 10 years, which is now called Pro-Flame out of Sonora. In October we were charged 2.59/gal and our bill for a delivery this month was for 3.86/gal. I called and was told it should have been 3.49/gal but they are having a problem with their computers “holding the correct price,” whatever that means. We are supposedly to get a credit for this overcharge. I don’t know if Pro-Flame and Amerigas are the same outfit, but the circumstance sounds similar. I called EBG and they are charging 3.04/gal so we are going to look into making a switch.
This has nothing to do with propane pricing, but can someone tell me how to post a new comment or question in the forums? For the life of me I can’t figure it out.
Thanks in advance,
ScottTalked to Amerigas and they stated they have a billing/computer error and their pricing would be adjusted down $110 dollars for our fill. $3.86 went to $2.99. They were helpful, but stated they are would not be notifying clients about the billing error unless people called and inquired, and only then they would adjust the bill. So if anyone has their service, I would suggest double-checking with them and ensuring that your bill was correct for the last month or so.
