I don't know about getting rid of snakes, usually snakes sense
the barometric pressure drop and seek shelter when the front is moving through.
As far as the iguanas and pythons they are here to stay.
There is allot of misinformation associated with the invasive species. First of all
pythons have plenty of natural predators. The baby pythons are around 12" long and
birds, racoons, alligators, and every other animal in Florida would not hesitate to make them
a quick meal. Allot of people think hurricane Andrew was the accidental release of the pythons but
I saw them several years before that. Irresponsible pet owners and more importantly irresponsible
pet dealers released the pythons. And the biggest myth is the pythons are going to wipe out all
the native wildlife. If they wiped out all the wildlife how could they exist? Nature will rebalance itself
and they will become part of the new ecosytem. If it makes you feel good to kill a couple iguanas
go ahead but don't kid yourself they are not going anywhere.
Ironically allot of invasive species that are in Florida now came in plant shipments in the early 1900's
including the brown anole, cuban treefrog, blind snake, and greenhouse frog. I am not sure how the
iguanas made it here?
What's the most invasive species on Earth?
I live in Attica 350m above sealevel. The hass seedling avocadoes i have show no damage at our winters here.
Also may i ask where did you manage to find brogdon avocado?!
Although that disease on the Jackfruit may well respond to the same spray regimen, it is unlikely to be the same bacteria that attacks the mangos.
yep !! I've had to start spraying my jacks and soursops with fungicide. Jury still out on what's up with the annonas. I feel like it could have to do with the seed borer, which opens a pathway for disease. We've been bagging the annonas. Rollinia has also had a terrible problem with fungus / bacterial infection, likely due to seed borers. Growing in FL can be a pain in the neck!Seems this disease doesn't only affect mangos
This appears to be the same thing on jackfruit and also on soursop, perhaps anonas
I'm going to have to start spraying my jackfruit
I've lost three of them this season.
