Re: Quiet (maybe??)

I go out early on damp mornings with a salt shaker.  They
congregate around the containers in the breezeway so I
just knock them off into the gravel pathway and salt them
down.  They just melt.  Pretty revolting, but effective.  The
salt helps keep weeds down in the walkway, too - though I
doubt I use enough salt to make a difference.  It just takes
a sprinkle.

LOL - we only get them during periods when we are getting rain - so most of
the time they are no problem.  When we do, I pick them up w/ a trowel and
fling them into the lot next door where the birdies eagerly gobble them up.
Good birdies.  Vile looking creatures I'll admit.  Ugh.
