RE: Farmstead Pest Control Secret Weapon: Guinea Fowl
We used to have guineas on the farm I grew up on. You are spot on about no one sneaking up on your place with guineas around during the day. And there's the added bonus of keeping fleas, ticks, and chiggers in the yard under control as well.
Thank you for your comment. You are correct about the fleas,chiggers, and ticks being kept under control by the guineas. That is the way that we inially discovered their usefulness. With four children we wanted a way to mitigate the risk of tick bits without resorting to poisoning everything, we thought that was pretty contrary to why we live where and how we do.
