There are several cats in my area and I *really* don't want a knock on effect of Rat poison if they get to a carcass etc. I also have a dog, who's naturally inquisitive about "roadkill" and the like so I am looking for a more humane way of despatching these little buggers before the veg patch gets it's first seedlings soon. I had some success with a squirrel trap, but it had to return to it's rightful owner. Redistribution of the "I eat anything you leave lying around" rodents was working quite well..... Until they bred and now we have a few too many. Shooting them is my neighbours resolution, but I don't want to sit on a rotating stool doing Japser Carrot impressions late into the night. Local council aren't too bothered as we are adjacent to a farm and it's the "norm" around these parts generally. It's the norm everywhere. If you don't like wildlife, go and live in a top floor flat with a window box. Firstly if you actually read the OP properly you'll notice I *do* care about wildlife, which is why I was requesting a different approach to reducing the problem, Secondly I have already lived in a flat with a window box, which was attacked by mice and birds resulting an a box devoid of anything growing. Therefore BTDTGTTS. Thirdly, your signature at the bottom of your post is too long, full of unnecessary information and will now, as requested in the same you'll enter my killfile during the next week or so when/if I can be bothered to read your drivel again. Walk like a prat, sound like a prat............. *plonk* |
