The
Purple Martin will help control insects around yards, gardens, patios, orchards, swimming
pools, etc. They are also helpful in controlling wasps around homes, farm buildings,
lumber yards, businesses or any building; also around Catalpa trees as the wasps will eat
the worms.
Purple Martins will help keep pond birds
away from your pond, thus eliminating loss of baby fish. Purple Martin are great for farms
as they will chase hawks away from chickens, crows away from crops and free livestock from
being bothered by insects.
Since Martins like their nests in open
areas, it is best to place their homes in the most open location available. A pond or
other body of water in the immediate vicinity will also make the area more attractive to
Martins.
Our Purple Martin Condominiums provide
deluxe housing for Martin families and are available in three sizes: 12 family units, 24
family units and 36 family units.
Condominiums are constructed of durable
synthetic materials that discourage parasites and are virtually maintenance free.
They are
cool and ventilated as the material reflects heat; doesn't absorb heat like metal or
aluminum. The attractive, lightweight construction allows easy raising and lowering of
each condominium. Designed to encourage the Purple Martin to return year after year.
Economically priced. Easy to clean.
How do you attract Purple Martins? Provide
adequate housing in a good location and they will come. Families will not divide if there
is not enough housing. Purple Martin Condominiums should be put up in January or February
before scouts are sent to find housing.
