Mowing season: Danger for animals: Moret robots use carefully

Moreal robots save garden owners time, but they pose a great danger for animals: small wild animals such as hedgehogs, young amphibians or reptiles can get under the knives and carry or even die considerable injuries. The animal protection foundation points out four paws. Pets such as cats or small dogs are also at risk.

You don’t have to completely do without the automatic lawnmower. The foundation gives tips on how to use it without endangering animals:

Do not mow every corner in the garden

Four paws draw attention to something: a constantly short -mowed lawn limits the biological diversity in the garden. Because this lost protection and food for many insects. And if insects are missing, there is a lack of fucking, hinge and frogs.

The foundation therefore advocates leaving at least a piece of meadow unused. Leaves or dead wood should also be left here. For many domestic animals you can create a valuable habitat and thus get the diversity in the garden.
