I installed an automatic chicken coop door controlled by a timer. This design uses all 12V devices. The linear actuator has an automatic shutoff switch when it is fully extended or fully retracted, and draws a maximum of 3A. I used a 12V 4A power supply to power the system.

In this video I show you how to make your own tick tubes for tick prevention. The white-footed mouse is the #1 vector for ticks. The ticks attach themselves to the mouse, stay attached for their blood meal, and then fall off and reproduce. The goal of the tick tube is to provide the mice with some bedding that is toxic to ticks. Here is the equation for dilution: (Desired Amount * Desired Concentration) / Current Concentration = Amount of current concentration to add to desired concentration. D% * D(amount) / C% = C(amount) If you want 1% permethrin in 1 quart of water that would be: 0.01 * 32oz / 0.1 = 3.2 ounces of 10% permethrin So anywhere between 1.6 and 3.2 ounces should be sufficient. 10% Permethrin: https://amzn.to/3vxgBQo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhLiRf1rCDk
