    Great video and great instructions. Awesome that you provided the PDF with all the measurements and instructions to do it yourself. This will be my first year to build and mount one. I just discovered that wood ducks even existed last year in this beautiful swampland that I have surrounding my property. Thank you very much!

    My cat had his lower front premolar removed for a resorbed tooth found on X-Ray. I was told he would be at risk for more resorbed teeth. He will let me put toothpaste on his front top teeth and the top front sides with my finger, and a toothbrush but less willingly. For him I need to do the bottom premolar area and I can't figure out how to do that area.

    Please do NOT mount boxes on trees as the Raccoons raid the nest and Squirrels take it over. Also there is a safety factor of using high mounted boxes - you can slip and fall, like what happened about 7 yrs ago in MN when a guy broke his back maintaining a box using his 14' extension ladder. There is zero need to do that. Instead mount it on a post at least 30' from trees and over hanging branches (so squirrels can not leap to the box). Then place a 3' dia cone shaped metal guard under the box, bottom edge at least 3' off of the ground. The guard stops 100% of the Raccoons, squirrels, mink, etc. from predating the nest and hen or squirrels from taking it over anf not allowing a hen to use it. Do a search for MWI (Maryland Wooduck Initiative) predator guards. The box hole should be at least 6' up from the ground. Per scientific studies, here is no difference in box use if the hole is 6' up, 9' up or 12' up. A simple 6' tall step ladder is all that should ever need to be used when installing or doing the yearly maintenance.

    You know it's really sad that we're feeding our pets such crap that we actually have to brush their teeth because they're not eating things that would clean their teeth naturally if they weren't domesticated. I have always given my girls catnip infused twigs that they chew on. My last girl is now 20 years old and for the first time in her life the vet says she has to have her teeth cleaned p

    Q: What is the odds that it will be be effective on an affected tree? Any rule of thumb? I have an Ash tree 🌲 which I had to cut down one of its 5 main branches in early June this year because it was dead. All the other branches are having leaves 🍃 I used Bauer liquid solution right after, but not sure if I can expect any results. Is it too late to treat with home owner methods? Or I should stay hopeful? 😊
