Any ideas about stopping rodents from eating all our courgettes and
pumpkins? I've tried rat poison, netting, and water traps. Last year they
attacked the tomatoes and we lost a good quarter of the crop.

Any new suggestions would be appreciated and tried. We live in a small
town and rodents will always be everwhere (it took a few years but the
house is now mouse / rat proof). Neighbours brought in a couple chickens so
hopefully the mice will migrate over that way. We'll be using live traps
soon -----

This newsgroup has been good with providing a lot of interesting and
usefull ideas. Hoping this thread will find something new.

Thanks in advance.
