The property is in a farming community, surrounded by operating farms. They use a natural liquid fertilizer, sprayed on soil prior to planting (early Spring) and right after harvesting (late Fall). You may experience a smell when fertilizer is being applied depending on the weather and wind direction. If you do experience a smell, it usually dissipates within 24-48 hours.
This property also features a fully functional BAT HOUSE, which plays an important role in natural pest control. The bats help keep the mosquito and flying insect population in check, reducing the need for chemical sprays. It's important to respect the bats' habitat, so please avoid disturbing the bat house or allowing pets near it. This eco-friendly solution ensures a more enjoyable and pest-free environment without the use of harmful pesticides. It is adhered to the North back corner of the house and there is a protective landscape being constructed as a barrier.
