Re: tomato stealers on their way out! I hope.

Theresa, try and keep an eye out for the poisoned critter and bury him or dispose of him where nothing else can get to him. That's what I used to do. I'm sure I didn't get them all, but I tried to make sure they didn't "get got" by something else.

Well, Sherman is no longer with us. He had no fear...not even of
trucks...and he got hit. I was devastated. But man....he was a mouser
for sure. He brought back all KINDS of mice and field rats...all dead.
Gotta like that in a terrier.

Yesterday, my Sweet Honey Biscuit (husky/lab) caught one in my garden and
it was NO country mouse but an old world RAT. Don't know where it came
from as we are not near a city or processing plant, large agricultural
establishment, etc. A terrier would also be good as they were developed
to
go after rodents.

Yesterday I also resorted to getting rat killer, as I really can't


abide


having a family of rats live in my back yard somewhere. But, even
worse... they are eating my tomatos as they ripen!!! How infuriating
and how gross! I am very wildlife and animal friendly usually, but


this


I just can't abide. I noticed this AM that several of the baits were
gone, so I'm hoping this means a quick end to this problem. Has anyone
else had this problem?
