rats, mice, opossums, raccoons, quite a few vermin.

and that is not even including the dropped fruit is breeding ground for all the pests
that destroy the fruit and the trees in the area. we moved in with two neglected
huge "shade" apple trees on either side of us. I didnt even bother thinking about
getting some dwarf apples as I would be spraying them constantly. At least the new
people on each side make some attempt to pick up the rotting stinking fruit. one
side finally cut it to the ground, the other has so butchered their tree I am sure it
will die soon, at least it is unlikely to fruit at all for a while. Ingrid
