Raising geese to drive away snakes

Yesterday, eyewitness Mr. Li said, 4 early morning, Shunde Jun 'an town Kangle intersection a rental house, found a snake, length less than one meter, rental house panic.

The house was split into multiple rooms for rent. The woman who rented a room recalled that she was ready to go into the room to rest. Under the dim light, she found a pile of things at the door."Black, like a snake," so she picked up the broom next to her and patted it. Suddenly, the black object was frightened and quickly swam into the room."It should be a snake. It's scary!" The lady immediately shouted for help from the villagers, but the villagers dared not enter the house to fight snakes, so they had to take a small table and block it at the door. The two called the police for help. After the police station and Jun 'an fire brigade arrived, through inquiry and inspection, it was determined that the snake was a poisonous silver ring snake, commonly known as "crossing the base gorge".

Mr. Li said that after firefighters entered the house, they held the snake head down with bamboo poles, and then someone grabbed the snake head with their hands. The action was only a few seconds, and the silver ring snake was captured. He relayed that, according to the firemen who caught the snake, the bungarus multicinctus snake was very poisonous, even more poisonous than the cobra, and there was a pair of longer groove teeth (anterior groove teeth) at the front end of the maxilla. After being bitten, people often die due to respiratory paralysis. Fortunately, he discovered it in time. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble if he had fallen asleep.

Coincidentally, a resident of Fengnan Garden in Tai Leung also witnessed snakes breaking into the house. Ms. Luo, who lives on the first floor, said that just last week, when her mother was resting at home, she found a snake moving at the door."The snake body and head are clear, yellow, green and yellow." Ms. Luo said that not long ago, after heavy rain, snakes were found at the elevator door of the community, and those who were bold killed the snakes on the spot. "The residents were so scared that they didn't dare to enter the elevator." Fengnan Garden property management said that it did receive a response from the residents, but the property management personnel did not find it when inspecting the lawn. Property management said that the community regularly sprayed "four pests" potion, for snakes are also paying close attention.

Experts say that too much rain forces snakes to move out

Zhang Liang, member of South China Endangered Animal Research Institute and member of Guangdong Zoological Society, has been studying reptiles for a long time. He analyzed that the main reason for snakes breaking into houses was that the weather was changeable, often sultry, and often torrential rain suddenly fell. It was possible that snakes were flooded by rain and had nowhere to hide and ran to residents 'homes. It is also possible that rats are hidden in residential areas, and snakes like to eat rats and follow the smell.

He said that because some snakes are poisonous, the consequences of biting people into the house are unthinkable. To prevent snakes from entering homes, sulfur powder can be sprayed, or some pungent chemicals. "Snakes are more afraid of smoke, pesticide smell and pesticide smell," in addition, you can also try to raise geese, because geese like to fight snakes, raising geese can become the first line of defense for snakes to enter the house.

Goose house construction

1. Brood house. It is required that the insulation inside the house is good, the air is circulated, dry and there is no thief wind, and the lighting area of the window and the ground area are 1:10~15. 5~15 goslings under 20 days old per square meter were suitable for brooding house.

2. Fattening house. The shed is equipped with scaffolding, which can be divided into single row and double row. It is divided into small columns, each column is about 10~12 square meters, and can accommodate 60~80 middle-sized geese.

Selection of Goose House Site

1) There is sufficient water.

2. There is a feed production base to grow green feed. Good quality forage can provide 60%~80% of the diet nutrition for geese.

3. The environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and there are trees for shade.

4. Keep away from villages and towns, which is conducive to hygiene and epidemic prevention.

5. Goose house should be built in high dry, flat or gentle slope area, south or southeast, soil with good water permeability sand is appropriate, so that sunlight is good and conducive to drainage, and at the same time conducive to heat, moisture and cold protection. It can build simple shed, surrounded by bamboo fence or coarse net enclosure, but also can use ditch, river and other flowing water sources to build shed in ditch, river enclosure. Special attention should be paid to the ventilation and heat dissipation in summer for the goose house with rotating wood structure. The front and rear walls should be provided with upper and lower rows of ground windows, and the lower edge of the lower row of windows should be 30 cm away from the ground.

Perhaps many people do not know that raising geese can also have the effect of repelling snakes, but whether or not there is this effect, the essence of raising geese is to make money, so the selection and construction of sites in the breeding process are very important.
