MARCH 2021 MINUTES

Before you feed the ducks consider how much it cost to repair the damage they cause, the additional treatment we must do to the ponds and the waste they leave behind.

Before you feed the ducks, geese, birds of any kind visit the Michigan DRQ website for the latest information on the bird flu/virus that is spreading across our great lakes.

Before you feed the cute little animals that visit your court yards and decks, think about the rodents it attracts and how they will love to move into your place. The food source will become their home and their home will cause damage and pest that are not covered by the monthly maintenance fees.
