The other night I was awaken by a "Who..Who" of an Owl atop my pecan tree. I went out to try to find the "WhoER". but I couldn't locate him/her. I looked across the street to see the neighbors Christmas Light Shower still on in their front yard, going from Green to Red... That got me to thinking (
) "What IF some PM Landlord were to set up their X-Mas Light show thingy BELOW a PM house/Gourd rack with the RED lights pointing up so as to NOT scare the PMs, but to be in the way of an Owl ??"

Hey Anthony,
If I'm correct it should act the same as a Nite Guard
Better yet the lights move around causing the owl to avoid it more than a still light

2015- 1 pair
2016- 12 pair
2017- 0 pair (predators). Back to square one.

Right On ! Elijah, & with such a light under the pole, the PMs SHOULD not notice it ! Maybe a PM landlord out there with Owl problems can give it a try ! I've been VERY Lucky ! I've never had an Owl attack, I've seen them in the city, but mostly during winter !
