Rats or gophers destroying your yard?
Tired of rodents gnawing on your fruit trees, gopher snatching your vegetation from below, or rats scuttling up your downspout? Invite a couple of barn owls over and they’ll gobble up the vermin at a rate of 2,000 a year.
“Barn owls are incredibly widespread in America, so when you put up your nest box, you’ll start seeing barn owls take roost in them in short order, and then they’ll start going to work for you,’ said Tom Stephan, master falconer, raptor expert and owner of Barn Owl Boxes in Ramona. “Using natural predators is more effective than conventional trapping or poisons, it’s economical, eco-friendly, and protects local wildlife,” he added.
Tom and his team of craftsmen hand make every owl box out of Luan Mahogany panels made from recycled materials. For as little as $150, you can get started with a basic owl box. And buying a box is a one-time investment, as they cost nothing to maintain and the owls are very good at keeping their nest boxes clean. If you have more to spend, the Hoo’s Hoo box with installed camera is one of their best sellers. Just connect the camera to your TV or computer and enjoy the best reality show you’ll ever watch.
Tom’s lifelong passion for birds of prey began in 1962 while doing research for a wild animal report in second grade. This led to much climbing of trees to better observe birds of prey, which led to a career as a tree trimmer (and later a certified arborist). While bidding a job, he noticed an improperly hung owl box in a potential client’s yard. He offered to install it at the proper height and angle needed to attract owls, and three days later the lady was thrilled to report that a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in it. “This was the first owl nest box I installed,” said Tom. “Now, nearly 20 years later I have over 34,000 under my belt. I’m so grateful that my passion for this hobby has led me to such a fulfilling career. I spend my days sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of nature and its inhabitants with people around the world. This is my definition of success.” Tom’s Book “Beneficial Barn Owls” is now out on Amazon!
