EVERYONE will be buying lidded trash cans after seeing this GENIUS idea!
🔗 Save $6,000 A Year with My Complete Amish Home-Saving Method I teach: https://eliasyoder.com You come out in the morning and there it is. The trash can on its side, the lid three feet away, the whole week's garbage strewn from the steps to the fence. Something got a good supper in the night, and now you are on your hands and knees picking it up before breakfast. And it will happen again tonight, because whatever did it knows your can is an easy meal. Let me show you how to stop it for good, and not with some clever expensive thing. Just the plain old tricks farm folks have used to keep animals out of the feed and the trash for as long as there have been farms. In this video: ✓ The one thing that brings every critter, and why fighting the animal is the wrong idea ✓ Why a raccoon has hands, and the cord trick that beats it ✓ Why you must strap the can so it cannot be tipped over ✓ Why a plastic bin is no protection at all against a rat or mouse ✓ Keeping feed in metal, and how to check a lid actually seats tight ✓ The brick-on-the-lid trick the old folks used instead of fancy latches ✓ Cutting the smell that calls them in, including the ground the can stands on ✓ Why to keep the can out in the open, near the light An honest word on the limits: these tricks stop the everyday raccoon, dog, and mouse. But a true rat infestation in your walls is a different battle, and in bear country a determined bear will beat any bungee cord, so there you keep trash locked in a solid building until morning. And be careful with poison around a homestead, since it does not know the difference between the rat and your dog, your cat, or the owl that would have eaten the rat for free. The old way is to shut them out and keep a good cat. Tell me in the comments: what has been getting into your trash, and what part of the country are you in? Next time, I am finally paying off a promise I have made more times than I can count. Sealing up the trash so nothing gets in is the very same idea as keeping a house warm, sealing it up tight so the heat cannot get out. There is a reason an old farmhouse holds its heat while the new house next door goes cold before morning. The people who built this country with their hands knew that, and we are only just starting to remember it. #Amish #Homesteading #SelfReliance #PestControl #Raccoons #OldWays #Frugal #Homestead #FeedStorage #Critters #WasteNothing #SaveMoney #EliasYoder
