Habitat Modifications
Envision using a systematic and purposeful approach to manage select portions of your environment. Create in your mind as nurturing and attractive an environment as humanly possible. Then make it happen. That’s habitat modification.
It makes life more comfortable and secure. And it does so with the simplest of tasks. By–for example–keeping trees and shrubs trimmed and healthy, removing harborage, sealing holes, and by balancing sun and shade, wet and dry, thick vegetation and open areas.
And, by keeping pests under control, it champions the PestAvoidance™ concept.
Are there Limitations to Mechanical Modifications?
We are constrained from modifying environments that extend beyond our legal control. But it isn’t necessary to achieve perfection to realize significant fruits from our efforts. Even where the environments we exert control over are too small to achieve perfection, a serious degree of balance is still possible. On large plots with huge, ancient trees, it may be impossible to balance shade and sun without imperiling those trees. Still, though the challenges are great, they are not insurmountable.
Supplemental Habitat Modifications
Mechanical modifications needn’t stand on their own, but can be aided by substances from nature. Strategically-placed natural plant oils and terpenes, diluted in a variety of transport and application media, are indispensable in this role.
Do-It-Yourself…
Modifying a living habitat to achieve a nurturing and attractive environment is both simple and easy to do. Whether the habitat is a yard, a home, or a business complex, the necessary processes typically involve a series of changes that can last for years, decades, or longer–with a minimum of upkeep.
Such should reduce or eliminate up to 90% of the non-nurturing, unattractive conditions normally found within an otherwise unbalanced environment. For some that is enough. For others most of the remaining 10% can be removed by applying natural essential plant oils of various kinds, carefully diluted in carrier oils or various kinds of solid granules. It is possible to make these materials in your own kitchen, using raw materials obtained from a host of sources. To bring costs down, we provide combinations of sprays and granules, and make them available, at a relatively low cost, to those who wish to enhance their habitat modification procedures with them.
