Do Not Apply Any Aroma Directly On The Nesting Planks !!!

"Harry I need your advise, what kind of aroma I should apply to the nesting planks?"

This person who called me for a little advise have two BHs just built outside KL and Kota Bahru, Kelantan.

Mr.T I am not against the application of Aroma directly onto the nesting planks but just listen to this advise:

The chances of breeding those fungus is very strong if you apply any water based materials directly onto those meranti nesting planks. Once they bread those fungus, you BH is gone. You will find that those birds will go away and new one will shy away from the house.

So, think carefully and use other methods.

The best is to apply them onto something that is not permanent example fake nests made of papers, woods, styrofoams or plastics.

You get hold of those fake nest and apply those aroma carefully. Once that is done dry them up. Once dried you fix them onto the nesting planks using either thumb tack or nails or screws.

By adopting this method you will be pretty safe from those nesting planks fungus.

Remember, do not apply those water base aroma directly onto those planks.

I hope he remember these recommendations loud and clear.

To those of you who have the same intention, just remember the advise.

What if I dry the planks after application of the aroma using hot air blower?

Hmm......you might want to but how sure are you going to dry those water properly? Just think of those corners where the aroma seep thru?
