MOSQUITO REPELLENT METHODS
(particularly effective in the morning- and evening hours)
1. You can grow mosquito repellent plants in your garden or around your house. These would be: Sage, Pelargonium, Mint, Laurel, Rosemary, Marjoram, Lavender, Wormwood, Garlic and others.
2. You should put on, particularly for the children, essential repellent oils instead of chemicals, like Autan, Kov or Sinkov. These are cheap and on the other hand more healthy: sage, eucalypt, lemon, cedar, pelargonium, bergamot etc., mixed with sweet almond oil they are ready to be used.
3. Shortly before the flying time of the mosquitoes starts, you can light spirals (Helozon) which you get in shops and pharmacies. The burning of 1-2 spirals is very successful on the terrace or in the garden.  When the flying time is over, you extinguish and reuse them the next day.
Protection and support of natural mosquito enemies
In the surrounding of our houses exists a variety of living beings which feed on mosquitoes and beetles.
Protecting these animals means to protect yourself: frog species, lizard species, many species of spiders, chameleons, bats, beetles and their larvae (like dragonflies) living in the water, some fish and bird species (Swallow, Swift, Skylark, Great Tit, Bee-eater etc.) live nearly exclusively on mosquitoes or their larvae.
Birds hunting mosquitoes in the air are particularly useful. E.g. only 10% of the Bee-Eaters’ food consists bees but as mosquito-killer they are very successful.


NEEM OIL
Compounds called terpenoids found in Neem tissues have shown to have a significant pesticidal effect, and may prove to be vital in worldwide pest control.

Natural Antibiotic and Antiseptic: 2 Tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to 1 gallon of water as their drinking water, every day. 

Here are some products that can help you with an ailing Animal:  E+Selenium sprayed on their food and Oxbow Animal Health Critical Care Apple and Banana mixed with Raw Pet Milk as a food source until they are healthier (normal).

Gasoline Tips:  Fill up in the early morning when the  temperature is still cold.   When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger to fast mode.  Fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL.  If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks, DO NOT fill up.

 

Mushroom hunting In Indiana
Am I allowed to hunt and collect mushrooms on Indiana state property?
Yes, it is legal to collect mushrooms while visiting state property. State law protects our wild areas, yet allows for this practice by declaring that, except as authorized by a license, a person must not damage or collect a plant or pick flowers; however, berries, fruits, nuts, fallen cones, mushrooms, leaves and greens are exempted.
The only places this doesn’t apply are DNR nature preserves, with an exception. If a nature preserve is located at a state park, reservoir property, fish and wildlife area or state forest, then a person may collect the aforementioned berries, fruits, etc.  Warning: Be very careful when collecting mushrooms. Only consume mushrooms you’re absolutely sure are safe to eat.
