Purple Martin House - Annual Maintenance & Cleaning

In this video, it's time to lower the Martin House to perform an annual cleaning and prepare the house for winter storage. This is a large 14-unit Martin Condo Style House that is Amish built. We added it into our yard earlier this year and hosted a flock of martins for the season. It's now mid August and the Martins have migrated back to South America. We used a solution of Simple Green and water to perform the main cleaning and scrubbing of the house and then we wiped everything down with a strong bleach and water solution. Afterwards, we did a complete rinsing with clean water, followed by a final light spraying of half bleach and half water. Once everything was clean, we left the house doors open with the nesting boxes removed for a couple days to allow time for everything to dry completely. Once dry, we replaced the boxes, closed everything up, and then placed a canvas cover onto the house to protect it from the elements over the long Ohio winter.
