Pests and Pesticides

Green or golden meadows full of birds, deer, coyotes, quail..and rats, ticks, and mosquitos. Here’s how to keep from getting too personal with any of them.

Park policy is not to to use pesticides for rats, because they kill the eagles, owls, etc., who eat rats and mice.

Please don’t feed the birds bread. They end up taking it to your neighbors’ birdbaths or fountains to soak, where it makes a big mess and clogs up their pumps. Thank you!
