If peanuts kills the damned things I'll have to start feeding peanuts to
them.
Can you guarantee that it will work?
Anything to get rid of the buggers!

Peanuts do contain a toxin that several years ago caused a problem in West Africa because it was a staple part of local diet. Even as 25% of the diet it could kill, and certainly did kill animals. That might now have changed as it is possible the new strains of peanuts have been developed. So they tell me in the pet food shops. They do a lot of damage to trees in this area. Several of my friends have had trees in their garden ruined by the little 'pests' stripping the bark off the top branches. If you can catch one put a little piece of lead in its left ear. Preferably with a gun.
