Why you wanna have a petting zoo? I'm using rat traps on the chippies. Your humane traps just mean you transport the critters to somewhere else that probably already has critters. Those critters will defend their territory and somebody dies. Either from injuries sustained in the fight or starvation. So all you're doing is subbing out your killing to somebody else. A real man kills when he must. In our case the chippies are ruining our concrete front steps and tunneling under the supports for the neighbor's deck, plus there are holes everywhere. They need to go. -Curt Good idea. I've been feedin em rat poison. works well in winter and spring, but not when they can invade the garden.

Spray your yard with insecticide. d D T IF you can find it... mehiho... otherwise Diazanon is what the extension folks recommend. Keep Diazanon OFF pets/animals. The prior suggestion can be sprayed on animals, but the latter will kill animals that lick like dogs/cats. Diazanon is the weapon of choice at the goof courses. No bugs, no 'dillo I'd look at the 'dillo as doing you a favor. You don't have to aerate your lawn.
