Get ready for a fruitful nighttime prevention effort by exploring these predator lights. Scaring off a coyote, fox, hog, or other predator that’s threatening poultry or property will ultimately be easier.

Good predator lights are ones that don’t greatly disturb animals and yet clearly bring targets into view, even in low-light conditions. These lights can do that in spades.

A top consideration is employing a predator light that lets animals know they’re under watch at night. That’s what makes the Nite Guard Solar Predator Control Light — which constantly flashes — a worthy choice to protect gardens, poultry, livestock, campsites, or property. The automatic light has no switches and is activated by removing black protective tape that covers the solar panel.

Solar power is a good feature for a predator light, since it operates automatically and without maintenance. The Aspectek Predator Eye Night Time Animal Repeller is a top solar-powered model because it features an improved battery designed to last seven days with one charge from the sun. Plus, the waterproof light doesn’t need to be stored in the offseason.

Houseplants: Which ones thrive in your home all year long?

So which plants can handle winter? For homes that tend to be cooler, hardy plants like Snake Plants (Sansevieria), Cast Iron Plants, and ZZ Plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) are ideal. The good news is that all three can handle temperature drops and limited sunlight. The Cast Iron Plant, for example, can thrive in conditions as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

While not quite as hardy, other low-maintenance favorites include Pothos (Epipremnum), Spider Plants, Ferns, and Heartleaf Philodendrons. These do well in shadier, low-light spots and require minimal care.
