Alternatively, place rocks in a deep bath to provide shallow areas. In addition, you can put fruit, seed and bone meal on a feeding tray. Never destroy a termite nest as when the termites erupt, they attract a wonderful variety of animals, particularly birds, which feed on them. Leave a patch of long, wild grass to seed. This will provide both food and habitat for many birds.

There are many ways of controlling pests in your garden, without using highly poisonous chemicals. Ants can be controlled by sprinkling a little agricultural lime over their nest holes. Increased watering will also keep them at bay. Many birds eat caterpillars, so avoid using a chemical spray as you may well harm some birds. Karbaspray, however, has little effect on birds and is effective against caterpillars.
